Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi

This smells a lot like Ganymede so I'm surprised how nobody has mentioned this till now. I'm wearing both side by side and they're at least 80% similar. I get the same mineral, metallic, airy vibe from it. The note breakdown here couldn't be more inaccurate.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise! It's a fresh soapy lavender fragrance that lasts longer than I expected. Quite versatile and I see this working in any situation all year round. A cheapie hidden gem :)

Got this out of curiosity and it didn't disappoint, well maybe except the performance. Probably the most misleading frag I came across and its quite fresh and uplifting, opposed to what the juice colour would have you believe. I get the similarity with VPH (no relation to BdC at all) but its more creamier and sweeter and less airy or aquatic. Dry-down deviates from the DNA as it gets more woody and tad spicier as you get the myrrh accord. Performance is below average as it is basically a skin scent; lasts for 2-4 hours on skin but the projection and sillage is zero after the first 30 mins or so. The bottle is okayish with average atomizer and very cheap plastic cap. Overall its nothing great, but not exactly bad either for €13, can be used after shower at home as a burner in summers. Don't go out of your way to get it by paying extra though.

To me this is a very masculine fragrance. It's not light at all. I would describe this to be a sweet, spicy, leathery type of fragrance. I think it also contains vetiver and tonka bean (which makes it sweet). It reminds me a bit of 7 Wonders of the World Colosseum Eclectic Collections. It's not a copy , just somewhat in the same alley. To give you a slight impression of what you can expect. I would say this would have somewhat of your typical after shave cologne type of smell with nice extra's. If I didn't already have 7 Wonders of the World Colosseum Eclectic Collections I would have bought a full bottle of Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi. I got Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi as a free sample in one of my orders.

The composition opens with clean, almost soapy notes, while the herbs are fresh in a distinctly fougère style, far from gourmand. Sweetness appears only as a subtle background accent. The overall effect is bright, cooling, and comforting in warm summer air. Extremely pleasant. Longevity is all-day, with a sillage that is noticeable but not overpowering. A high-quality, well-constructed fragrance. While I can easily imagine it as a summer unisex scent, it leans more toward masculine in character.

Whatever you hear about this, you will still be surprised with the first spray. This is unbelievably light, unlike most Lattafa perfumes. IMO it is a perfectly designed western unisex fragrance. Lavender dominates the center of the scent, with intermittent nuances of cedar and amber, resulting in an extra-light, safe, yet lovely aromatic scent. I find no resemblance to Bleu de Chanel or Versace pour homme at all. A totally uncomplicated beautiful scent, as well as a very safe blind buy.

It is very pleasant, spraying clothes is preferable to skin for me. If you can get it to your bed linen, it will smell like cuddles and heaven. Make no mistake, this fragrance is western to the bone. Some people are complaining that this is their first "arabic" scent and they expected different. Fresh, ambroxy, modern fragrance that will not offend anyone or last too long.

A cross between Bleu De Chanel and Versace Pour Homme with the addition of leather (not listed in the note breakdown) and lavender. No oud here though, at least not on my skin but the myrrh is present. A safe buy, just wish it actually had a woody base to offset the lavender. Makes for a great office scent.

First of All Shout out to you Mr.KnightofWands his review is ON POINT! To be Honest i bought this for 15$ and i dont regret it! now lets get a little closer ,with this one its all about Lavender-pepper-Oud&Resins, it has a fresh quality to it but i dont think its a summer fragrance. Sheikh Shuyukh Khusoosi - is a Fresh Spicy Thick and Sweet fragrance , upon spray i got lavender pepper and oud(Agarwood) right of the bat though the oud is not that prominent that you can easily Say wow "OUD"! but its there the whole time and its sweet amidst all that if you are familiar with Saffron , U will know that its there and adds a leathery Animalic Quality to it and at the end adds a woody note to the mix which makes it softer overall, this perfume remind me of Rasasi blue for men and also Versace Pour Homme i wouldnt say its clone but reminds of them (maybe VPH!), now to the performance , Longevity is good i got 5 to 8 hour every time i wore this but projection and silage not very good its almost 1:30 for about an arm length satisfying for a 15 bucks perfume but not very good but still! bottle looks ....meh OK-ish and the cap is Low-Q plastic but also meh ,for 15$!! Adding a bit to my review , i can smell bleu de channel here too but with thicker and more leathery tone , So to sum it up : BdC + Vph+animalic tone ;) Disclaimer :Everything i have written here is base on my "Nose" and my "Skin" performance and smell may vary for others. THNAKS :)

A lavender flowery fragrance that I think smells masculine. I blind bought this and honestly it's not bad. Smells kinda boring to me. I usually sniff my shirt continously when I have something good on but with this one I didn't do that a lot. There are many other good fragrances at similarly low prices so maybe not the best blind buy. Doesn't last too long either. Update: After a while the smell got actually annoying to the point I started avoiding even touching the bottle. Ended up giving it away and the person that got it wasn't crazy about it either.

I have a decant of it and i must say this is heavy. For me to make it somewhat wearable I need to layer this with a sweet gourmand - in the cold weather. Masculine leaning unisex, this is a deep, spicy oud that lasts and projects.

Do not blind buy on reviews . I'm sharing my experience of blind buying this fragrance based on positive reviews as i like Versace Pour Homme and Blue De Chanel. however, this fragrance is nothing similar to either of them. Not even a bit. Maybe it's my batch - 2020 but it is so average that i wouldn't buy this again for sure. The notes are pretty much what is described but bring them down in intensity to a 1/5. This is an extremely mild , intimiate perfume you can certainly wear at office or everyday use without offending anyone. But for someone like me, this fragrance comes across as too intimate. Thus it's not a fragrance for me Don't get me wrong, if you are someone who like intimate Soapy lavender fragrances which lasts about 3 hours in the sun/without AC or upto 8 hours within an AC environment then it is for you. PS : ambroxan is non existent. I recommend wearing it during winter seasons or in an AC environment for longevity. I did the mistake of wearing it at the gym for barely an hour - it completely evaporated and the only prominent note was Myrr which is definitely not my favourite and can smell off putting at its peak. I have used multiple fragrances which smell better for a similar price range so wouldn't buy this again from a perspective of longevity, performance, sillage or even the notes. Just not for me.

This smell syntetic and strong like 90's blue vibe, ysl eletric, Legend and Fierce amped up 1000%. I was trying to wear it but to strong, only good side is longevity, eternal in my opinion, but smell is not good.

A blind-buy - bought based on positive reviews. Initial spray: too sweet/sickly, but otherwise very pleasant. There is a note at the forefront (Myhrr/Amber I suspect) that makes this feel like VPH but customised for the mosque. More warmth and sweetness relative to VPH, which is not a bad thing at all, but since I bought this as my summer scent, I expected a more refreshing component. A few days later: the sweetness is no longer the first thing I detect. It is still present, but not obtrusive and supports the aromatic components well. The spicy and floral elements, which are not overwhelming are easier to appreciate. I've worn it outside in 30+C weather and it feels thick, but not suffocating. The sillage is not amazing, but this is ideal in hot weather. Performance is not great for me - 3hrs in hot weather. A week later: I really like this. I'm spraying it in my room just to smell it again. It makes sense to me now. Verdict: it's a cousin of VPH. Not a clone, but same vibe. But if VPH is the cooler cousin, then SSK is the warmer cousin. VPH is unarguably more suited to summer, but this may be better for other seasons. Be patient, and it gets better. Blind-buy justified. 8/10.

Pretty similar to Vercace Pour Homme, (update: or maybe even Bleu de Chanel) Bed time (0300 hrs-I've been to a Eurovision party. UK came 4th from bottom and deserved to! Lol!) I have both fumes on, side by side and I'm struggling to find any difference. Just woken, it's 0800 (Don't worry, I'm going to go back to sleep) Versace has smoothed out in a citrusy direction, whilst SSK has mellowed out into a pleasant and more spicy affair. I would say great for all year round. I blind buy most of my perfume as it adds to the fun. Perfumes from the Middle East tend to have very few reviews, (Fragrantica don't even list Ard Al Zaafaran perfumes), and even the eBay descriptions tend to be in dreadful English and copied and pasted in by all sellers. Anyway, back to the perfume. After some recent disappointments, this was a pleasant surprise, and I would say a safe blind buy. Fantastic! Further update: heavier and spicier than BDC. Not as similar as I first thought, but lovely though.

It's a beautiful fragrance, probably the most masculine leaning one I own. It smells clean, yet slightly salty and metallic. Its a subtle take on those early 2000s body spray bombs to me
