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!

Sherif is a bright, uplifting fragrance with a juicy green apple opening that feels fresh and energetic. The citrus and petitgrain add sparkle, while the woods and mossy base give it depth and a classy dry down. It definitely reminds me of Greenley, but at a fraction of the price. Longevity is decent (around 6–7 hours on my skin), and the projection is moderate, making it versatile for both daily wear and special occasions. For the price, it’s an excellent fresh-woody option and a solid release from Lattafa.

Don't care about PDM Greenley, rating as it's own scent. Smells like a Granny Smith apple with some woody notes and a bit of citrus and musk. It's definitely a high value scent and can be worn at any season and occasion. The bottle is beautiful and the atomizer is fine. Longevity as of opening is pretty weak so maceration is definitely needed but that's the usual with Lattafa and similar brands. 8.8/10 for me

Man, this one hits! Got it about a month ago and enjoyed it out the box. Sprayed it a few times and then let it macerate or marinate if you will. Now, BOOOM nuclear frag. Green, fresh and powerful. Have your coffee beans ready after a few sprays. Decided to throw a spray of Aqua Dubai with it. “Chefs kiss” but nuclear. My nose is currently being pleasantly assaulted.

Smells like a blue shower-gel with a slightly green twist at the beginning and then slowly fades back into a ysl y esque fragrance with the green apple freshness / sweetness. Longevity is ok nothing horrible, but wish it lasted a bit longer. Sillage is bad though cant really smell it after about an hour and the distance during that time is <6ft

Green apple is my favorite note, this nails it, I have all the dupes for greenley and this with the French avenue one are my favorites, French avenue is more sharp with the green apple. This one is more sweet but not crazy sweet, love it so far. I will recommend this one over midori which is the other dupe of greenley. 8/10

The fresh apple cologne I have been looking for! Basically smells like fresh green apples with a little bit of sweetness, I love it! Quite similar to the opening of Greenley but keeps the apple throughout and doesn't change a lot into that mossy base like Greenley. Performance seems pretty decent but nothing spectacular.

Incredibly pleasent, apple bodywash type of smell. Very good for the hot summer season. Having smelled this and FA Aether, I prefer this one significantly, since its way fresher. Performance is also noticeably better. Got mine for 16€, which is nuts, and may be one of the best price propositions in fresh fragrances.

Picked this up for a meagre £13.50 from Notino after being disappointed by FA Aether. This is head & shoulders above Aether in terms of scent, longevity & projection. At £13.50 this has to be one of the best daily wear fragrances on the market & I will without a doubt be looking at picking more up while it's cheap.

Really like this one, wish I'd spotted it in the summer, a nice sweet green apple smell, smells like a soap I had when I was a kid. It's just a nice easy wear that gets compliments, fresh fresh fresh. I paid £19!!!

Beautiful and lovable scent in the morning after shower. Feels like applying apple scented shower gel outdoor in a misty fresh cool morning after a rain in a green tropics highland.

Think of Granny Smith apples pressed into a perfume bottle with a hint of woodyness in the background, then you get this, Absolutely gorgeous fragrance!

Wow. A beautiful fresh apple scent that projects loudly and gets massive amounts of compliments. It’s better than the original !

Now I can conserve my greenely bottle! Stellar dupe. Thank you lattafa for doing it again like ya always do

Beautiful summer fragrance. On dry down is 90% similar to Greenley, and dare i say more lasting

in comparison to french avenue's dupe of greenley (aether extrait), sherif emphasises the green apple note a lot more. its sweeter + there is less woody and mossy notes. i would say sherif is much more of a summer fragrance whilst aether extrait is a little more versatile as u could probably use it in fall, spring and those winter days where its not too cold. when it comes to longevity, they both do not do well on my skin. im getting 1-2 hours on aether extrait and around 30 mins on sherif, however this is probably something to do with me personally as ive sprayed my bottle of aether extrait on my friend and he told me it lasted all day for him. sherif also has a lot less projection than aether extrait. the green apple note of sherif seems a lot more realistic to me. ive always found that the aether extrait green apple felt a little synthetic. aether has better presentation, nicer bottle and better atomizer. overall, i would say that aether extrait is the closer one to greenley and will do better on projection and longevity, however sherif is obviously cheaper and some people may prefer the less mossy notes and more green apple, as most of the people who dislike greenley seem to comment on it smelling like "wet grass", in which case sherif would be the better choice.
