Sherif

I have a funny story with this one. I was so hyped about it but it was nowhere near my city so I blind bought it online. It was set to arrive in new days. The day before it's arrival I went to a nearby perfume shop and I found it. Smelled absolutely nothing like it was marketed nor how I expected. Very woody and citrussy, the citrus scent was pretty synthetic and toiletty. It threw me off so bad to the point where I wanted to cancel the order. But summer is quite close and I need an easy to reach freshie so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. The next day it arrived and it smelled nothing like the one I tried the other day. It's opens with a light bergamot scent and incredibly realistic green apple scent to the point where it made me crave some. It's super mass appealing and got me multiple compliments at work. The apple note drags throughout it's lifespan as it becomes an apple/musk with a hint of woodiness in the drydown. As per projection it's exactly what you'd expect from a summer freshie, around 4-6 hours but for the price point I wouldn't mind overspraying this one as it doesn't get cloying at all. I've smelt greenley on a tester strip and sherif is more of a fruitier twist on the DNA. However due to my experience with the other bottle I would recommend checking the batch's tester as I believe it's quite batch dependent and you may get a totally different experience. I would've recommended blind buying, but due to my experience with the bottle I tried in the other store I don't think it's gonna be a good idea.

The cheapest clone of Greenley with great quality juice. Doesn't have any harsh openings or anything too synthetic considering the price. This smells within 90% for sure of Greenley. Not a 1 to 1 if anyone is lying to you, here are the differences after trying it side by side. Sherif is a sweeter fresher green apple opening, with the moss giving that signature scent Greenley is known for but to me Greenley is a bit dryer, more mossier or 'grassier' and isn't as juicy or sweet of an apple comparing to Sherif. As it dries down, Greenley goes to a musky cashmeran, a fuzzy base while Sherif has that classic Lattafa clone drydown of an ambery musk. Slightly warmer and smoother rather than fuzzy. I would say Greenley is a perfect Green Apple Freshly Cut Grass scent for the traditional man, while Sherif takes that vibe, makes it more casual and fun. Great inspired by nonetheless.

Got mine for $20, great deal smells amazing. I much prefer this to Aether Extrait. It's definitely a more refreshing shower gel scent As compared to the original greenley. Majority of the mossy and grassy dry down is not present here. I go about 20 sprays, last me the whole day. For the prize it's great, it's nothing mind-blowing but it's pretty good. I layer it with Mawj Appletini, gives it a clean powdery and creamy apple milkshake type feel. The longevity to this is much better than Aether too. However the opening and dry down is relatively similar, almost too similar. If you like the opening then it's great.

Great take on the OG, but this one focuses much more on the fruity side. The apple note is beautiful. Crisp, slightly sweet, soapy, and very fresh. It feels cleaner and more youthful overall, so this is probably the better choice if you’re younger or just want something easy and fresh to wear. If you prefer the woody side of the OG, Aether is better. Aether has stronger wood and citrus notes, while this one leans more into the fruity apple and soapy freshness. It’s not extremely deep or complex, and the longevity is nothing crazy, but it smells very nice and is very easy to wear. 8/10

An absolute masterpiece and an instant favorite! The opening is incredibly crisp and fresh, hitting you with a mouthwatering, vibrant apple note before beautifully drying down into a rich, luxurious base of amber and cedar. It has a very unique, high-end vibe to it. I bought this purely because I was hunting for the perfect apple 'freshie', and it absolutely nailed the brief. I haven't smelled PDM Greenley, so I can't judge the accuracy of the clone, but honestly, it doesn't even matter. This stands entirely on its own as a phenomenal, uplifting fragrance. Highly recommended!
