Sharaf Divine

I have Angels' Share and Paradis and at least a dozen clones of the OG, but I haven't tried AS On the Rocks yet, and I didn't have the desire to go and get it until I got my nose to it which hasn't yet happened. But this popped up on my phone the other day, and for the low price there is nothing to lose, so I bought it. I love Zimaya Blend and The Club so I guessed that Afnan would get this one right as they normally hit well, and they have. I can't compare it to AS On the Rocks, however what I do get is a lighter, more citrussy version of AS OG without losing the DNA and it lasts a good while on my skin straight out of the box. It may even develop further being a Middle East fragrance but either way it doesn't need to. It is still a fantastic boozy fragrance, and projects well, but the citrus makes it somewhat lighter and not so intensely evening wear specific and as I am only comparing it against the original Angels' Share it definitely makes wearing it in summer far more appealing. I love AS and can't really subject people to that in the hot summers where I live, but this one is a winner all year round, night or day. Really excellent scent, fantastic frosted glass bottle so no fingerprint polishing afterwards if you're OCD like me, and a great wide atomiser that distributes fantastically well. I paid around £25GBP equivalent here in the Middle East and it is worth far, far more in my opinion. It's just lovely and I'll probably drain this bottle over the next couple of months as it is a very addictive, bright but satisfying scent that I'm sure most will love and at a price that pretty much everyone can afford. Well done again Zimaya/Afnan.

I just got this in some days ago and here’s how it works on MY SKIN. Do I like it? HELL YEAH ITS AMAZING! On MY SKIN because after reading some reviews here idk if you guys are showering rite or not if or if your guys nose is broken or something but this smells amazing on my skin! Does it perform and last? YES!! Basically all day and I barely got it! Again this is on MY SKIN! What does it smell like? AGAIN ON MY SKIN.. before I go on... I own Khadlaj Mansion(which I’m obsessed with and so is my girlfriend, the Raspberry is so nice and juicy with that added Warm Apple Pie 10/10. I also own Lattafa Fire on Ice recently and the Raspberry Note is alot more dominant which I absolutely love but still need to test it out more. So back to how does Zimayas Version smell like on my skin? I absolutely love how they added Bergamot and Apple so it’s a Twist of Angel Share Paradis they’re not aiming for a 1 to 1 in my opinion. Them adding Bergamot and Apple was such a genius move, makes it more fruitier and fresher as it starts to dry down which I love! I still get the Raspberry and that Warm Apple Pie feeling so I guess you can say it’s a mixture of On the Rocks and Paradis which again I love and this is how it smells like on my skin. I already know the longer I let it sit the better it will become. Let this one sit guys, for the price this one sits at is fantastic! I think Zimaya killed it with this one

Disclaimer: I have edited over my original review after having owned my bottle for about a month. I had to double check with the original On The Rocks and Paradis bottles at a Sephora to make sure I knew what I was talking about. I am in love with this fragrance! Sharaf Divine is a new take on the Angel's Share DNA. What this iteration does different is combine the scent profiles of Angel's Share On The Rocks and Angel's Share Paradis to create a sort of "frosted bakery" (as I like to refer to it) type of scent. It's not as sweet as the original Angel's Share but is instead fruitier thanks to the additions of raspberry and bergamot. The bergamot gives it a 'chilled' vibe while the combination of the cognac, cinnamon, and raspberry form the 'bakery' vibe. As for performance, this stuff is great! Long-lasting (8+ hours) and projects for quite a while (about 4 hours). I find this fragrance to be easier to wear in warmer climates due to the citrus. I also find it to be slightly feminine (likely due to the rose), but absolutely unisex. Overall, Sharaf Divine is worth your time. Smell it if you get a chance, it has easily become one of my favorite fragrances.

I added this review to Royal Blend Sequoia but figured I would share it here too. I’ve had Royal Blend Sequoia for a couple months now. Has had time to mature. I like it. Not going to describe it more because everyone else has said what needs to be said about it. I am here to compare it to Zimaya Sharaf Divine. Divine is way closer to that smooth Angels Share DNA. Much smoother. Boozie raspberry. Definitely has hints of rose. It’s not bang on Angels Share Paradise, but it 100% smells like Angels Share with a twist of raspberry. Royal Blend Sequoia has more of a spiced undertone. I think Sequoia has more projection so when I wear Zimaya Sharaf Divine I go heavier on the sprays. On NYE I did 6 sprays of the Zimaya and then 1 spray of the sequoia on my shirt in the front and one in the back. Got some compliments and wife said I wasn’t overpowering or anything. Just leaving this here for someone like me who is looking for the best Angels Share / Paradise clone.

Just got this in. Im familiar with both on the rocks and paradise. I have also owned rayhaans version. Here's my take, this opens like on the rocks with all the citrus and booze then add a small hint of raspberry. As it goes through the mid the raspberry really starts to pop and this is where it begins to lean more on the paradie side of things almost 90% paradie after the opening. Not as sweet as the rayhaan but that's a good thing imo this is much more balanced. Perfectly blended the boozy note is divine with a realistic raspberry. So in short, has the opening of on the rocks with the dry down of a slightly less sweeter paradie. Very sexy, a little more versatile than the og. Loving it so far. Performance easy 8hrs performance, 12 plus skin scent. PS I HATE KHAMRAH and all its flankers this is much much better. If you hate that seasonal candle smell you wont find it here. This truly is high quality.

I'm a fan of any fragrance that gets me unsolicited attention. This was worn to work on a random, rainy Saturday. I had no expectations, I just wanted to give this scent profile a full wear. I walked up to pay for my breakfast, and the cashier whom is a friend of around 2 years, immediately asked me what fragrance I was wearing today. He's taken many recommendations from my collection and added them to his own over the time we've been friends, so I know that when he asks about something I have on, he genuinely likes it. The Carmel Apple, Raspberry and Praline notes stand out, giving this familiar DNA a twist. I prefer this over the standard Angel's Share DNA. TLDR: Excellent Fragrance, Worth The Investment

The opening opens up to almost this boozy raspberry apple pie however within about an hour the boozy notes settles down. The dry down is a tad bit raspberry powdery and boozy accords are toned down significantly. Leans a bit feminine but regardless, a great cozy and sensual raspberry milkshake like scent. Performance : Note : This is pre maceration or maturation before the fragheads go bonkers on me. Tested this a day out of the box Longevity : on my skin - 5-6 hours Clothes however - easily 12+ hours Projection is moderate for the first hour and then fairly intimate and sensual Gonna let this sit in the closet for a while and then see how it performs

I really like this stuff. This gets way closer to the actual Angels Share DNA than Khamrah or Royal Blend. It is very smooth and well blended. This is a twist on Angels Share Paradis. Very close to the OG Angels Share but with a Raspberry note in the opening. I get a bit of raspberry/rose note through the mid. To me it sits somewhere between Angels Share and Angels Share Paradis. Not as much Raspberry as Paradis. Royal Blend Sequoia hits the raspberry note a bit more but I think this gets closer to the actual Angels share DNA I highly recommend if you like Angels Share.

Straight out of the box, this is is way fresher than I thought it would be. I mostly get raspberry, apple, bergamot, rose and a bit of cognac with fizz.(I don't get a hint of any of the other notes.) Smells like red sour punch straws. Definitely not a fall/winter scent, this is all year round. Seems like it's on the rocks because of how fresh it is. (Never Smelled it tho.) On my skin I would say it leans slighty masculine. 5-6 hours of longevity with moderate projection for 1-2 hour. 9.3/10 (Off skin it smells like realistic wine)

Let the fragrance macerate for at least one month — ideally even three — and that’s when the magic happens. Everything blends beautifully, the scent becomes soft and creamy, and that sharp, intrusive raspberry note softens over time — it becomes smoother, more syrupy, and no longer as harsh as in the beginning.

It’s essentially a hybrid of Angel Share Paradis and Angel Share On The Rocks. Less sweet and dense as Paradis and adds a raspberry note and is a little bit less aldehydic than On The Rocks. Overall, I really enjoy the twist that it did and actually like it more than Paradis because it is a more versatile wear.

Very soft and pretty take on the Angel Share dna. I really like that it’s not as strong as other versions. To me the raspberry fades quickly (30 minutes or less) but the core scent lasts a long time and is well balanced and smooth. I wouldn’t call this beast mode but if it over spray it could be.

personally, I don't like the original Angel's Share because the cinnamon is a bit too strong for me. I actually prefer this one. I have both Sharaf Blend and Sharaf Divine, and they're both really good. The bottle quality is about 6/10, but the juice inside is easily a 9.5/10

First few sprays out the box is Angel shade paradis on the rocks opening is a bit on the fresher side but the raspberry smells so good. If you’ve smelled Paradis this to me smells so damn close no one is truly going to know the difference. This is some good juice

Ambergriz - Your sense of smell is definitely up your ass. The fragrance lasts 10+ hours with solid projection, and one of the most prominent notes you can pick up on is cognac. Once again, I am convinced that Fragrantica is full of snobs.

Elegant, smooth, and easy to wear. Zimaya Sharaf Divine has a sweet, fresh, and slightly luxurious vibe that feels clean but noticeable. Great for daily use, special occasions, and anyone who wants a classy compliment-getter.

Love the original sharaf blend, so I decided to try this. The opening is absolutely amazing and often respray just to smell again and again. Not the biggest fan of rose so the mid dry down is not as good.

Just got this in today. I got to say it's a like for sure, but I think it needs to spend some time on the shelf. It feels sharp and rough as of now. I will get back to it in a month and see what's what.

I just get my bottle and I’m impressed! It resembles AS dna but I find myself preferring this one due to the raspberry and rose notes that add some depth to the already deep scent. Highly recommended.

Omg the complete fumbling of people on here, all over themselves to give the correct term, definition, meaning of maceration/ maturation is absolutely hilariously pretentious.......🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

This doesn't need long reviews If you like Angel Share or any of its dupes like khamrah, dial down the spice a tad and then add some raspberry notes THIS IS THAT... What's more to be said

great fragrance for the price , sweet fruity light non offending scent very good for calm days or family gatherings or dates . 9 out of 10

This is a very spot on inspiration. It is strong, long- lasting and perfectly blended. No need for the OG in my humble opinion.

Sweeter, more feminine version of this popular scent profile. Absolute perfection, no notes.

A boozy apple pie! Makes me dream of Fall and smelling amazing 🍁❤️

Rich syrupy raspberry and cognac, Smells fantastic.

I own Khamrah, Angels’ Share og and I have a decant of Paradis...Zimaya Sharaf Divine is, to my nose after about a month of maceration, is less like Paradis or the OG, and more like a less sweet, more fruity (raspberry and apple) Khamrah, which is cool, especially for the price you’re getting a definitely less pushy version of Khamrah with more soothing notes of fruits that blend quite well with the cinnamon, cognac and vanilla. However, after like an hour I start getting some resemblance to Paradis, but it’s more like a low quality remake of Angels’ Share by nose, not side by side comparison, with some raspberry in the background. For the price, performance and overall smell I’d say this is pretty good, nice for special occasions, but it’s loud, it’s an extrait, so spray with moderation depending on the occasion.

Fragrance Journal Entry #34 So this opens up like it's a flanker of Lattafa Khamrah, the smell is very similar just tone down the spice and add a syrupy raspberry note. As it dries down it gets a little closer to Angel's Share but just nuances of it, this part smells like a sangria mixed with an unsweetened raspberry tea. This is a very pleasant scent just didn't "wow" me, has a slight feminine lean as well but men can pull it off. All in all i think it's a solid fragrance if you don't have too many other AS inspirations. I just wish it projected better. Rating: 8/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

When I first sprayed this, I was really disappointed. It was a mess, so harsh and unpleasant. But after just a few minutes, it transformed into a very nice scent. There’s lots of raspberry, plenty of cognac, and a hint of sweetness. You have to love raspberry to appreciate this perfume, which isn’t my favorite. Otherwise, I could see myself loving it. I tested AS and OTR a few days before and I don't think it's cloning any of them. I didn't get any raspberry from them and AS was more woody while OTR was more fresh. This one is just the same DNA with its own twist.

Great fragrance, the opening is very fresh with green apple and bergamot, as it dries down a little bit the raspberry caramel and vanilla come out. For the first hour it has a very sharp raspberry note that hits the back of your nose when you sniff it and after a few hours it dries down to perfection and it smells absolutely amazing with the cognac, vanilla, tonka bean and caramel. This fragrance is very unisex and absolutely a great bang for your buck. (ps the bottle is pretty heavy)

i just bought it and here's my review *i haven't let it macerate not 1 to 1 for angel's share paradis but close enough to tell and i just love the DNA , start up fresh u get apple cognac raspberry and the raspberry continue throughout the dry down , in the middle you pick up the rose and im not a fan of it it's a really nice winter time fragrance with mid projection for 1h and mid longevity overall I'd give it a solid 8.5/10 because the performance

I bought this because Khamrah Qahwa was a little bit heavy for me. Needed something similar, but not that heavy. Just got it and it was way more feminine that I tough. It is good, but the opening is to much happening and kind of "gassy" and harsh. The dry down is way better, but I think it needs to be macerate for a few weeks.

very photo realisitic cinnamon apple pie on me, it smells a lot like a christmas baked dessert, its sweet, kinda heavy, a little boozy

#2nd update the citrus add isn't good i'd say it's a down grade from the og overall 7.5/10 i don't see myself reaching out for it

Starts loud with raspberry/citruses that turns into a less sweeter Angels Share. Great for winter.

I just picked it a few minutes back, initial impressions are pretty good to me. There is nothing like synthetic and painful. The scent is going very smooth. It is more close to the Angel share original and on the rocks. I have also ordered Royal Blend Sequoia and hope to get it in 2-3 days. Then I’ll let you know which one is better Update:- today 26th March , I received obsidian and Sequoia both Let me give you the honest feedback According to me, Sequoia is rank one This one- Divine is rank two (the only problem I have observed in this is it is a little heavy on rose after 30 minutes) Obsidian I’m not comparing with the above because that is actually the dupe of on the rocks and way better.

I read that this was clone of angel share on the rocks.i so happened to get a sample of on the rocks.i really enjoyed the smell. I never smelled og Angel share anything.5 minutes in,both colognes sprayed on one of my hands and they smell way different to me. On the rocks definitely crisp,zingy citrusy. Sharaf reminds me of the khamras I smelled before that I didn't Care for. At least it smells better then those IMO

I owned this fragrance for a little while and decided to trade it to something else, it is a very very boozy fragrance, its opening has that raspberry note which makes it a bit medicinal but after that its just booze and sweetness with a background of medicinal raspberry, i think it's okay, nothing too crazy about it. Not a bad scent just not for me. Good performance though, mediocre projection.

What does maceration mean? Why are ppl saying the smell will change after some time i just bought it from a retail store and its not newly produced do i have to macerate?

Nauseating sickly sweet cinnamon + raspberry cough syrup, I guess you could say it also has a tiny bit of booziness in the background giving it character That's the only review you need, all the extra yap in the reviews is useless. If you like smelling like that, go for it. Personally I see it as too sickly sweet, all people around me see it that way as well, it can trigger a gag reflex because of how sweet and potent it is

eww I didnt like it at all, too boozy to wear slight cherry(i love cherry note), make it worse long lasting( in days), tested it yesterday until now I can smell it, something so werid about it smell sh rubbery. tbh my brother said its good.

for my nose it is really foken synthetic. i didn't buy a fake bottle or anything like that its just not good. Not really similar to angels share paradise too. probably gonna give it a few wears and thats it. at least the bottle is beautiful

@HaissamHammoud MACERATION is the process of soaking finely ground plants (petals, leaves, etc) in a liquid solvent (oil, alcohol, whatever) in order to extract the active compounds of the herbs, thus extracting the smell as well. It is a simplified way of explaining, but that's basically how you create any perfume, really. People are just misusing the term. After maceration, the perfume needs to sit, to MATURE. Most middle eastern perfumes haven't had the time to mature, they are bottled and instantly hit the market. That's why you need to let some air into the bottle (spritz a couple of times), shake it gently and let it rest in a cool, dark place for a couple of months, in order to help the perfume fully develop, reach its full potential. The wait is worth! Bottom line: you let the perfume MATURE, NOT MACERATE! Hope this was helpful :)

Not here to review this, but there seems to be some confusion on the definition of “maceration.” This is copied and pasted directly. Hope this helps: “Maceration in perfume is the essential aging process where fragrance oils and alcohol meld and mature, allowing ingredients to fully integrate, harmonize, and develop a richer, more stable, and unified scent profile by reducing harshness and enhancing depth. It's like marinating; the perfume "rests" for weeks or months to transform from individual notes into a complex, well-rounded fragrance, with higher quality or niche perfumes benefiting most from longer maceration periods.” As a perfumer myself, I can confirm that this is, in fact, the proper definition.

Reviewing this fragrance on it's own: Definitely not a weak fragrance and true to being an extrait. For reference, I sprayed this on my wrist (where my fitness tracker sits on my wrist) and can still smell whiffs of it the following day -- considering I had a shower and wore a different fragrance. Not sure about how this projects but definitely long lasting. Very smooth compared to some variants of the same profile in my opinion (I have tried Gulf Orchid SHE but I prefer this, I didn't quite like the cherry liqueur note on that one). This has a very fruity sweetness that is not as cloying. Still best for the cooler months. Got it for $50 Australian. Can't complain.

I love the OG Sharaf and I love raspberries so I had really high hopes for this one. I use Angel's Share for a long time and tried AS Paradis a few times before - I have to admit I did not really care for it so didn't get it but still I decided to buy all its clones by Zimaya, Lattafa and Royal Blend. Unfortunately this initially smells like playdough to me, very sharp. The dry down is like berry tea (not raspberry) which is ok but smells nothing like AS. I used it a few times already but I am unimpressed so far and don't understand where all the great reviews come from. I will let it sit for a while and come back to it but I don't see myself loving this one.

Absolutely test/decant this before buying, as this one seems to be really inconsistent across skin types. On clothes and paper it smells great, but on my skin it turns excessively powdery. Update: I've since tried Lattafa Fire On Ice and Rayhaan Valhalla, and this was my least favourite of the three. The powderiness never went away, even after leaving my decant alone for over a month. Fire On Ice was less strong but felt more well-blended, while Valhalla was easily the best of the three with a very rich raspberry note.

honestly i like this more than royal blend sequoia, in royal blend sequoia the raspberry its smells like cough syrup, and for performance wise its way way better than RBS

Looks to be another Angel's Share clone but as the last Sharaf clone was missing the boozy quality this one made a point of adding a cognac note

definitely getting this. saving space for a review here. sharaf blend is my favourite zimaya perfume. i was waiting for paradis clone
