Sharaf Blend

Admittedly, the only other "alcoholic" perfume I tried before Sharaf Blend was Teriaq Intense by Lattafa. I never sampled Angel's Share (did they ever, by the way, if one reads the Old Testament?) or any other. So I will speak from a "newbie" perspective. The opening is nothing short of brilliant - a sparkling saffron, without any bitterness of "scratchy" undertones. It is true to its very nature - golden-orange pestles in the sunlight. Close behind it are the smooth and powdery notes of nutmeg sugared by what I suppose are dates, but I am not experienced enough as to tell what type of sweetness it is. In any case, - the composition is lovely. This is the best saffron I've had so far in my life, and I have a few decades tucked under my belt. Then the scent morphs into the vanilla and praline, - sweet, enchanting and seductive. But, and it is a serious BUT, - then comes the tuberose, - tender, drunken and alluring. Never too strong or cloying or "shibaru-like", NO - it's unlike any expectation one could or would have of it. Imran Fazlani performed a near miracle with the Sharaf Blend, as he (indeed) blended all the notes seamlessly, in perfect harmony and logic (yes, logic - for the scents to me are as mathematical as music or colours). With the heart notes in bloom the perfume is sinking into my skin; it doesn't fight or contrast with itself, it melts in, as if it is an olfactory AI that had studied me in the matter of minutes and understood my personal code. So there it is, becoming part of me, - intimate, seductive and addictive. It is exactly want I would like it to be - special, without being obnoxious, memorable, without being disturbing, sensual without being slutty. As I am typing this review I can smell it from my wrists and imagine places and events I will go to when I am wearing it. I am in awe of the creator of the scent and the makers who show to the world that true masterpiece does not have to cost the world, but an inspiration, dedication and daring.

Review: Zimaya Sharaf Blend – The Gourmand King Without Weaknesses Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Sharaf Blend is a masterpiece that in 2025 absolutely dominates discussions about the best alternatives to the legendary Kilian Angels' Share. This fragrance is the definition of pure indulgence – it is rich, intoxicating, and incredibly addictive for both the wearer and those around them. The Scent and Character Immediately after the first spray, you are mesmerized by a deep note of fine cognac accompanied by cinnamon and dates. However, it is not just a "sweet syrup." Thanks to the oakwood, vanilla, and praline, the fragrance has an amazing structure that feels sophisticated and very expensive on the skin. It smells like a freshly baked apple pie with a touch of alcohol, served in a luxury bar. Performance and Versatility As an Extrait de Parfum, Sharaf Blend delivers brutal performance. It survives 12 hours on the skin, and you can still smell it on your clothes even after washing. A clear choice for the winter season and evening events. It is exactly the type of scent that creates a "bubble" of luxury around you that everyone wants to enter. The Only Flaw? Finding a fault in Sharaf Blend is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If I had to be truly strict, the only "weaknesses" are its own popularity and the impracticality of the bottle for transport. While the extremely massive glass and wide decanter shape are visually breathtaking, they take up too much space in a travel bag and significantly increase the weight of your luggage. Therefore, if you plan to take the scent with you on trips, a refillable travel atomizer is practically a necessity. Verdict Zimaya Sharaf Blend is a must-have for anyone looking for a charismatic, sweeter, and spicy fragrance with a dominant vanilla note. With an honest 100ml volume, breathtaking design, and performance that surpasses even expensive niche perfumes, it is one of the best investments in your personal presentation.

I've been curious about KAS for the longest time along with all the dupes made of it especially Lattafas khamrah. All the dupe variations and versions of KAS made it impossible for me to choose so I waited and waited. After reading alot of reviews and experiences I finally decided to blind buy this one and it did not disappoint at all. I found it at a low price and bought it. It is sweet , seductive and warm. Perhaps not the most masculine scent but I don't think that was the idea behind this gourmand scent. This one is certainly unisex and maybe even leaning more towards the feminine side. Nevertheless it's yummy. It's going a bit towards the liquid brun type of scent (or if its the other way around ) which is quite recognizable. As always in the perfume business, when something works and sells , many will follow. In conclusion: Upon spraying this it doesn't do it any justice but as soon as it has settled down the magic happens. Incredibly sensual seductive dessert yummy type of scent almost good enough to eat. Vanilla caramel heaven. Very well worth what I paid for it. It's so good that I don't even care how the other dupes or the OG smells for that matter. Another banger from zimaya in my humble opinion. The down side is it's strength. It's second to none. Its so weak it becomes a skin scent within an hour or so. That might be the reason for the low price tag.

Shagaf Blend strikes an impressive balance between masculine and feminine notes, making it a truly unisex jus. The opening is bold, with a spicy and warm richness that grabs attention right away, but it’s the drydown that really makes this fragrance shine. It takes a solid four hours to reveal its full character, and the wait is absolutely worth it. As the scent develops, it transforms into a smooth, powdery-spicy blend with just the right touch of sweetness. This soft, lingering drydown is both comforting and refined, enveloping you in a warm, inviting aura that feels close to the skin yet quietly captivating. There’s a cozy, almost creamy aspect that makes it feel luxurious without being overwhelming, perfect for cooler days or intimate settings. Longevity on skin is exceptional, holding up for 8 hours with ease. Even as it mellows into a skin scent, it retains that powdery spice with a hint of sweetness, keeping you intrigued with each whiff. This fragrance is a powerhouse of subtlety, proving that understated scents can be as memorable as bold ones. Sophisticated and versatile, it'll pull compliments in this fall and upcoming winter season. Office safe but you must be careful and absolutely avoid overspraying it.

Wearing Sharaf Blend yesterday and smelling it in the air on my girlfriend today im extremely impressed. I know people like to talk shit about “clones”, but this isn’t at all a clone. Is the bottle a complete rip off ? Yes, but other than that this really deserves its own flowers. Its so sweet and inviting it really reminds me of a pastry shop. I never understood when people made comparisons to pastries, when talking about fragrance. Lets take Angels Share as an example. It really doesn’t smell like any apple pie Ive had in my 22 years on this earth, but people consistently compere it to it. This on the other hand is so soft and buttery, almost like you’re smelling freshly baked croissants. Im extremely impressed. I dont understand the comparison to Angels share at all though. Thats coming from someone who owned it, but gave it away to my mom because of how boozy it went on my skin. Opening and mid was spectacular, but then it went really sour like I literally spilt cognac on myself. This really doesn’t have nearly or almost any of the booziness, nor the aggressive sweetness in the opening and mid. This is just buttery, mildly sweet and inviting. Doesn’t push out massively, but persist for a long time. And... 30€
