Majesty

This one really cleared my expectations right out of the gate. First sprays on skin were good, second wearing a few days later was even better. I've never smelled the original tygar, vibrato, or ingenious ginger, but after trying dupes of all three, I can now see why they're so frequently compared. I have Ravine Ginger by French Avenue, and the opening of this is very similar to that, just brighter. Ravine Ginger is a bit sweeter, not counting the vanilla in the dry down. The mid is fairly similar as well, with the dry down being where they begin to differ the most. Comparisons aside, let's talk Majesty. Majesty opens up with a bright and fresh, realistically sweet combination of grapefruit and ginger, and it's beautiful. The opening reminds me somewhat of the entirety of LV Symphony or Island Dreams, so if you really like this opening and want it forever, there you go. But that opening is such an insane compliment getting combination, I really can't recommend it enough. That goes for this and Island Dreams as well. It's got a semi sweet nature to it, but not too sweet to make this any less versatile. The florals in this come in nicely in the mid, adding a clean, almost creamy, slightly powdery jasmine floral nuance that smooths everything out nicely. I don't pick up much of the rose, myself, mostly the jasmine and orris. But I don't mind that. I love jasmine. This fragrance does a great job of never moving too far in any direction. Never too spicy, sweet, or floral. I truly think you can make this work in any situation any time of year. Majesty stands out. It's not unique in the landscape of tygar and vibrato clones, but it is a bit more unique compared to what you're used to smelling in terms of men's designer fragrances. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as an NPC fragrance. Unless you're wearing sauvage, most people aren't going to recognize what you're wearing. That being said, this is definitely unique enough to easily consider signature scent worthy, even if the dna is extremely popular. I got compliments from this the first time I wore it, and it continues to be a crowd pleaser. I can't recommend this one enough. I have regent coming in tomorrow, and will likely update this to compare the two pretty soon. Update: My review of Regent is posted, largely comparing the two fragrances side by side. Check it out if you're having trouble deciding.

First thing I want to say is every time I have worn this my wife has commented how much she likes this one within 30 seconds. I wear something different everyday, and she rarely says anything(with the exception to reinforce to me her abhorrence for all things with Angel's share DNA), but I have worn this 4 times in the last month and every time she has immediately said she wants me to wear it more. I also happen to agree with her...I like smelling this and I can't wait for more warm weather to reach Chicago so it's more appropriate. Love love love the ginger and grapefruit 1-2 punch in this. It just feels so good...it really just brightens and invigorates you when you put it on. Longevity has improved each subsequent time I have worn it and is now lasting through a whole day at the office which is shocking for a citrus focused scent. Granted it's a close scent by the end but I can move at the end of the day and pick up a waft. Projects pretty well for the first 1 hour in my opinion but then linearly shrinks in. I see a lot trying to compare/measure this to vibrato. For those commenters they also have Regent from this same line which is supposed to go after that one. Just very hard to find at least right now. I am hoping that will change soon. Edit: Just want to add I really like the bottle and atomizer. Just solid quality. Makes me want to pick up more from this line.

I've never smelled Tygar but this is definitely very close to Vibrato. I love this scent. It performed well fresh out the box. You get whiffs of the grapefruit all day. My wife absolutely loved it. She hugged me tight, sniffed my neck, and complimented me when i got home from work, 10hrs later!!! The performance and quality is here. The middle eastern fragrances are often very high quality. The price to quality/value difference is VERY large today (you get close to the same quality as the OG for far less money). No one would smell this and think it was "cheap". I truthfully buy 100% dupes even though i can easily afford the OGs. I really wanted Vibrato and was willing to buy it until i got this. Even if this isn't 100% 1-to-1, it's so close it doesn't even matter. If you like this DNA cop this. My only gripe is my atomizer was a bit faulty after a few uses. So i had to put it into a new cologne bottle i got off Amazon. Also, while it could be considered redundant, Aristo by Arabiyat Prestige is fire as well. It's a clone of Ingenious Ginger, very similar to this but its a bit sweeter and has a light vanilla base. I have and LOVE both.

It's fire, smells amazing and is in a much elevated tier of quality vs turathi blue. Not quite as nice as Vibrato but very close, I'd say more similar to Ingenious Ginger (in quality not smell). Turathi blue is harsh and smells cheap, tried to love it but couldn't. Majesty is smooth and effervescent, a keeper 1000%. In terms of closeness to the OG, the biggest difference I noticed was in the opening, the first 20 min the citrus smells more lemony than grapefruit but after that it seems to settle more into a grapefruit and ginger combo. In the air it's Vibrato the whole time, maybe slightly lighter or airier. Performance is good so far, I'm sitting here on hour 4 after a walk in the rain and it's still radiating off my skin. I'm usually not too judgemental on performance until the bottle has had a chance to macerate for a couple months so I'll revisit then. No question Vibrato is a better fragrance but $180 vs $45 for something 90-95% similar makes Majesty a big winner.

Zesty opulence! Gorgeous, fresh, consistent. Tygar and Vibrato DNA done right. Mostly Tygar, but the florals from Vibrato add a slight powdery softness in the dry down. While the initial application is a blast of medicinal alcohol, within the first few minutes, it quickly comes into character. What I love about Majesty compared to most of the other citrus frags I've owned is the citrus sticks around for the long haul. Not a sweet freshie, but the rose and jasmine seamlessly make this incredibly smooth. Everything seems to be blended to perfection, and the only note I can clearly distinguish is the ginger. Projection is really good the first 1-2 hours. Then for 6 hours or so you're left with a slowly diminishing radiant aura. Like I said, the overall composition is highly consistent. Only the florals become more pronounced as time goes on, but with such subtle sophistication. Wear it when you want; it's a daily driver and a darned good one at that.
