Shaghaf Oud Ahmar

This Erba Pura by Xerjoff or Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi is a much more affordable price than both. It veers closer to Kirke’s scent profile, though. Nothing new or remarkable in the perfume industry, but it is an excellent dupe to overpriced fragrances with similar note profiles. If you already have either Kirke or Erba Pura, don’t get this because it’s redundant. But, if you don’t have either of those fragrances and want something very close to clones of those perfumes at a reasonable price, then get Shaghaf Oud Ahmar. I cannot pick up the Oud note at the base, so either it’s so well blended that I can hardly smell it, or my nose can’t pick it up, or it just isn’t there.

Such a compliment magnet!! Out of all my collection, this gained the most compliments even from strangers. Although I could smell something a little bit metallic, but maybe that's just the sharpness of the citrus. The freshness of the melon comes through on the initial spray, and then the amber and vanilla takes over after an hour or so, depending on the weather and if I'm outside or not. On my skin, it lasted for at least 5hrs. On my clothes, it lasted for sooo long, sometimes I could still smell it even when I already washed my clothes. I slept at my bestfriend's house while using this and she told me the smell rubbed on their pillows and blanket I used.

This fragrance is incredibly beautiful and angelic. It has a feminine,fruity shampoo, clean aroma with slight vanilla and creamy notes. It is very similar to Ana Abiyedh White due to the prominent vanilla but less animalic compared to the Lattafa version. However, it's important to note that this fragrance is three times more expensive than Ana Abiyedh, so keep that in mind when making a purchase. It is also not as long-lasting as Erba Pura or Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold. Edit; Layer this perfume with Musk blend by Khadlaj, literally smells like paradise/ heaven, wooowww.

The right fragrance to get you through that work/social function when you pretend to be that smiley chirpy individual. I can’t detect oud which makes it inoffensive. Wonderful mood uplifter not only for yourself but for those around you. Less juvenile screech as in Very Good Girl and less pretty young placid thing as in a Delina. Yet similar profiles. Still fun but a lot more no nonsense. Wished it lasted longer than 4 hours on the skin but maybe that’s all the time you need to get through that corporate function. Gorgeous bottle and packaging. Amazing price! Winner.

This is a less airy, more feminine, and leather free Milano (I can barely detect the leather in it) by fragrance du bois for a fraction of the price. I say Milano and not Erba Pura because it’s got the same smooth refinement and high class feel Milano has. Milano is beautiful and it feels and smells luxurious and this feels like that. I blind bought jasmine wisp two years ago and something always bothered me about it, it always smelled cheap to me and cloying. It’s almost impossible to wear. I wore it once and it was meh. This, Ahmar, is perfection!

If I purchase another fragrance that ends up being a clone of something that I have in my collection I'm gonna scream!!! It smells nearly identical to Tomavicci Zenobia, which is similar to TT Cassiopeia. All are beautiful, and ALL have that Erba Pura inspiration. But the redundancy is starting to wear on me. ((Sigh)) Nevertheless, they did a wonderful job with Ahmar and I will most definitely be keeping this one to travel with.

The lasting power on this is actually insane. A little goes a LOOOONG way, the smell does linger on my clothes for days which I personally don't mind. That being said, I absolutely LOVE this fragrance. I am a big fan of fruity and musky perfumes and this is perfect. A fruity scent, but it is mature and sexy. Another review had mentioned this, but the longer you let it macerate the more beautiful the scent becomes.

I love this scent but will be taking it off my wishlist simply because it is too beast mode. It lasts years on skin and refused to get off of my clothes. If you loved j'adore by dior and wanted it to last till the day you die, this is for you. I may opt into getting the perfume oil and I would actually recommend that over getting the actual fragrance because you will be buying the lifetime supply.

This is an amazing scent if you like fruity scents. I’m not sure if men can wear this but I like smelling this on other people. It’s strong and long lasting and anyone who doesn’t smell fruits in this has to probably let this macerate. It smells a lot like shampoo but better. Will probably get this again when it’s done. If you don’t like fruity scents don’t get this

This was such a joyful blind buy. Though its longevity is shorter than my other oud fragrances, that's a small trade-off for a scent I adore. It has quickly become my signature. To my surprise, it's also a compliment magnet—I'm consistently asked what I'm wearing. It perfectly balances being discreet and elegant with remarkable presence ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful fragrance. It is a bit redundant if you have Erba Pura, Amber Oud Gold Edition, Jasmine Wisp, etc etc and the like. Bright, refreshing. Great for the spring and summer. Also, good for year round use when you're craving the DNA. I do not get any touches of aoud or cedarwood, but it is a well-balanced scent.

FABULOUS. I bought this in Dubai last year and fell in love with it. Yes it does smell like Erba Pura but not as screechy or overpowering. Super well blended fruity scent. Very summery but I will be wearing it all seasons because I love it so much.

The opening for me is exactly like Erba Pura. But the dry-down is much more pleasent with a well blended tonka bean and vanilla combo. Its not as synthetic but also a lot weaker than Erba Pura. Great Summer/Spring scent worth your money

Such a wonderful scent! I sense some Erba Pura DNA and Jardins exclusif but the Iris note makes the Ahmar stand out, it's a lovely amber scent to wear all year round, very fresh and Crowd pleasing. I highly recommend it.

Average performance when I bought it. 2 months later this fragrance lasts all day on skin and maybe 3 days on clothes. Not very cheap but more wearable than erba pura and good price for the quality offered. 8.8/10

The pretty girl walks past you and she smells like fresh skin and creamy conditioner. She’s in no rush. Beverage in hand, hair laid, jewelry and lipgloss adorned. She is exactly where she needs to be.

This is beautiful! If you like Erba Pura, you'll enjoy this too. Longevity is great (on me). So happy to have it part of my massive collection.

love this scent sm, its like creamy, clean, elegant florals fruity perfect and its got a good sillage and insane longevity

Phenomenal. Fruity without being juvenile and annoying. Very rich and sexy. One of my favorite middle eastern perfumes.

Smells delicious 😋 fruity, sweet. Get lot's of compliments.
