Ikhtiyari

An absolute steal for the price. I was orignally going to gatekeep but no need anymore. I got 5 compliments wearing it to my college classes with two of them even asking what I was wearing. The Longevity is pretty solid too on it making it (In my opinion) perfect for date nights/ Casual outtings and even the office. The colder weather is what really makes it shine though. I would not recommend trying to wear this in any type of heat (Summertime, Gym) as it comes off as headache inducing a bit. For the price ($10 to $15), smell, longevity, and versatility its a solid 9/10. IF YOU FIND IT, BUY IT.

Ikhtiyari by sahari is very nice. It smells like a freshly baked crumbly apple pie in a bottle cooling on a windowsill. I’m not even walking anymore, I’m just floating towards the scent like a cartoon character. it’s good especially for $15, but the projection isn’t the best. Also it’s supposed to be an angel share ($300) clone , but idk how similar they are

A blind buy I got from Marshall’s for $16.99 this is my 2nd bottle of it. I absolutely love this dna it’s very boozy and sexy just wished it last a bit more than 4 hours on me but it’s ok I bring a small one with me well decant and it works out. Perfect for fall winter and cold days. If you see this a like the angel share dna then pick it up.

On a paper test, I LOVE THIS. It's a little boozy, but sweet and has a little warming spices to it. I could see it going for male or female. I almost feel there is a fruitiness here, like apple crumble or something. My husband isn't a fan of fragrances but if he wanted to wear this, hoo boy!

More airy and diffusive than AS. Certainly very sweet, but not syrupy or over spiced. More pleasant dry down and easier for me to wear than the OG. Performance improved from adequate to goodish over a month or so. Quality and value seem excellent.

Very close to Angel's Share and it costs $15. I can't comment on performance, but I smelled it in store today and they absolutely nailed the scent profile. Even if doesn't last, it's crazy that this costs $15!

To me it’s a mix of teriaq intense and khamrah. I love it personally. It’s typically in the mens section of tj maxx or marshals I think bc the box looks masculine. So beautiful and long lasting!

Hidden gem. Found at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Very close to angels share.

TLDR: It's nice, but short lived. I found a bottle of this today at TJ Maxx in the women's section for 16$ and here is how it smells. The year is 1952 and it's Christmas eve. The first Christmas since Grandpa passed, and Grandma has found her way to the liquor cabinet. With the smell on her breath and the bottle in her hand she decides to honor his memory by baking him an assortment of all his favorite deserts. She does an Apple Pie, she makes a Coffee Cake, a tray of Pecan Sandies, and even a batch of Sugar Cookies. The family wakes up the next morning and walks into the kitchen to find grandma slumped over with an empty liquor bottle on a table full of deserts, the oak log in the living room fireplace burned out hours ago and just like Grandpa only the memory of it remains. The kitchen is filled with the smell of liquor and baked goods, but Grandma sobers up quick and all the boozy smells fade fast, leaving the baked goods and the distant memory of oak. The Coffee Cake gets eaten, the Apple Pie goes too. Eventually all that's left is the Sugar Cookies and a couple of Sandies. By the time they open the first gift all that's left is a subtle sweetness, a hungover grandma and some spare cookies. The atomizer is above average, the bottle is solid glass and a good shape. The dark gradient is nice and the cap fits nicely in place. Very unisex, fast note progression, not a lot of sillage off my skin. Much like a Christmas eve with family it's a very intimate and pleasant event that's over fast. I'm going to let it age a while and try it on clothing. I'll do an update if anything changes.

$17 at TJ Maxx - I intentionally stopped buying the low quality dupes at TJ Maxx/Marshalls. They perform terribly and since you can get good clones like Lataffa, Khadlaj, Rayhaan, and French Avenue I figured why waste my money? Then these $18 Sahari fragrances started showing up and they all smelled surprisingly good. I put some Ikhtiyari on my wrist but didn't buy it. I repeated this on 3 separate visits and couldn't stop thinking about it. This isn't the overpowering headache inducing amber usual from Dubai. It actually smells amazing - boozy vanilla woodiness with just the right amount of cinnamon (unlike so many). Probably meant to be an Angel's Share dupe. It's not that close but on its own it's just really nice. And it lasts for hours although it doesn't project far but I kept getting smells all day. The best cheapie unknown I've tried in ages.

similar to angels share, but in a more muted, softer way. There'll be complaints that it doesn't perform very well but I actually appreciate that more. It's a scent that, compared to the GOAT Angel Share, is more airy and thus more dailable for the winter time. I payed 30 aud, probably wouldnt do anything above that.

Beautiful scent. Nice everyday wear. Projection and longevity kind of suck though so bring a decant of it with you.

Don’t waste your money. Opening is nice, it’s a big blast of sweet cinnamon and booze, this only lasts for a few minutes, it becomes more generic woody after that. After 20-40 minutes the fragrance is mostly gone and undetectable from a foot away, you have to put your nose on skin to pick up anything. For the $16.99 at TJ Marshalton Coat Factory it’s ok compared to their other generic cheapies but Khamrah is far better if you can afford another $5.

I'm really sad to write this review as I really did love this fragrance off of first exposure. However, actually trying to wear it throughout the day made me want to throw up. It's truly a great scent profile, but ikhtiyari's dna has something that generates brain fog and makes you wanna vomit. Idk if this is just my batch, but given other reviews, I would take my review with a grain of salt.

This is a really good one actually. Selling at TJ maxx or Marshalls. It wears light but smells great. Kind of Cinnamon, clean, is there a plum note in there? For some reason I smell something that reminds me of purple in the opening. I learned that over spraying this one is okay. Definitely good for a sweet date night, restaurant, maybe office, the mall etc...

Considering the price you can't beat this. Also to those who say the perfomance is lacking you might want to consider you are going nose blind. This gets noticed off me for a solid 6 hours. For a 17 buck fragance with this scent profile I'll take that all day.

I think the scent itself is wonderful. If it were able to project harder & last longer it would be awesome. But for the price point, you could decant it & refresh consistently.
