Golden Elixir Reserve

I love this Cologne to be honest. I’ve never purchased anything from Riffs before this one and I can confidently say I’m impressed! It’s like a deeper, richer, smoother, and slightly darker version of Khamrah. The Cardamom really pops through in this. And the vanilla, praline and cinnamon play a huge roll as well. After a while the vanilla starts to turn a little Caramel leaning which is freaking awesome. I love a great vanilla/caramel combo. The only thing is that I don’t smell the Coffee note hardly at all. It’s like barely detectable in there and I just wish there was more of like an Espresso PUNCH to the face to it. THAT would make this a 10 out of 10 fragrance for me. With that being said, I dig this stuff. I give it an 8.5 or even a 9 out of 10!

Got it yesterday. So far extremely weak projection. Longevity as a skin scent around 8 hours. It's dumb how this does not project at all, soncidering its super oily and tans your skin if you put it on your arm. Will update this in a few months, but so far this is a dissapointing $30. Zimaya Sharaf Blend still unmatched UPDATE 3 months later - its nuclear on par with sharaf blend, but more sweet just like khamrah. another cheapie to add to the collection, but i think i will stick to sharaf blend since its cheaper.

This is the bomb dot com. Matter of fact, don't even buy it. I want it all to myself. Nah fr tho it just smells incredible and will project ruthlessly all day long. Just don't overspray it. Genuinely one of my favorite winter fragrances. It outperforms every other bottle in my collection, designer or not.

So gorgeous cologne it's sweet in a good way i mean it's still masculine and btw I can't find any coffee note on it as they said, overall if you are looking for a sweet masculine driver for winter this one is it with high quality scent and very good longevity and projection

@takityp idk but mine is insane strong.. Got 3 bottles of zimaya sharaf blend also since i love it that much. Id say it's slightly stronger even than sharaf blend tbh. And scent wise it's lovely and no way it's not as good as sharaf blend... Just it's alot more masculine.
