Exceptional Value for the Money

This fragrance provides exceptional value for the money. Its opening notes evoke the spirit of Invictus Aqua, transitioning into a captivating villain amber scent in the dry-down phase. Initially, I noticed a slight weakness in its performance upon purchase. However, after allowing it to mature for approximately a month, its longevity has significantly improved, lasting well over eight hours with a substantial two hours of strong projection.

Although the dry-down may not be as distinctive as a blue-type fragrance, it is quite pleasant. While it is more suitable for a summer evening than a summer day, its sweetness may be excessive during hot summer days. I recommend wearing this fragrance more frequently during the fall, winter, and spring. Overall, it is a versatile fragrance that can be worn in various situations.

The Slightly Different Blue

Shiyaaka (Blue) | Khadlaj / خدلج" does not enjoy the same attention as its red counterpart "Shiyaaka for Him / شياكة | Khadlaj / خدلج," and yet it is of comparable quality.

The opening is a mix of many different well-known scents, giving one the impression of a blend.
The citrusy freshness of "Bleu de Chanel (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel," a bit bubblegum-like as in "Invictus (Eau de Toilette) | Paco Rabanne," and something sweet that slightly reminds one of "Scandal pour Homme | Jean Paul Gaultier."

The citrus from Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette comes through after a short time but with a twist.
It smells like a kind of sweet BdC, yet somehow also subtly green and sparkling fresh, quite interesting.

The further it goes into the drydown, the spicier and more distinctive the perfume becomes, yet the BdC DNA is still present somewhere.

Simply put, I would say that in the end it is a citrusy (lemon or bergamot), sweet (probably vanilla, but not clearly identifiable for me), spicy (definitely musk), and somehow slightly greener/fresher scent with a little touch of bubblegum.
It reminds very, very slightly of BdC but is neither an alternative nor a dupe of it.

Perfect for summer.
I would say it is more suited for younger men due to the bubblegum vibe, which many mature men might like less, although it stays quite within limits here.

Performance is rather average, performing like a typical blue fragrance even though it is not that blue at all.
It might need to mature a bit, but so far it is not a strong performer.
After an hour, I can only perceive it weakly, but then it lasts about 4-5 hours with a rather weak to moderate projection.
This could also depend on my skin, hard to say.

Overall, a nice scent for a small price.
Not as boring as some summer fragrances that are much more expensive.
Quality is also quite okay, definitely not too synthetic or anything like that.
It leans towards designer, and you definitely don’t perceive anything oriental here.
And IN MY opinion, it will appeal to most people, a typical crowd pleaser indeed.

Wow! What a price/performance ratio!!

I paid EUR 22.00 for this blind purchase, and that's a steal for such a fragrance.
The bottle has the cap from Boucheron pour Homme. A heavy, larger glass bottle with a super sprayer. And the aluminum is great and elegant, almost as if it were steel. Bentley could upgrade its good fragrances with its cheap lightweight aluminum.
But apparently, the Europeans can't produce these fantastic heavy high-quality bottles.
The scent is like a sweet flanker of Blue de Chanel, but it comes across citrusy fresh and elegant, and it lasts for 4 hours. A record for the top note of an aquatic fragrance. And both men and women like the scent. Many ask what it is and are then astonished when I tell them the price. Such a noble
fragrance for so little money, most people can't believe it.
The high rating here is justified.
This fragrance would be sold by our luxury perfumers for EUR 140.00 and up.
And Kadlaj proves that fragrances from the Emirates are increasingly competing with our expensive scents. Price corrections are coming quickly! If the Arabs can produce such noble fragrances for so little money, one has to wonder if YSL, Dior, and Chanel fragrances are worth their price. Nothing has come from Chanel for a long time, and among men's fragrances, only the erratic block Antaeus is worth buying, along with the fantastic lemon of Allure Sport Cologne. And Sauvage doesn't stand a chance against this fragrance!!!

Beautiful Sweet Freshness at a Great Price

Continuing with the brand Khadlaj from Dubai, which offers quite wonderful fragrances at low prices. I have already reviewed the extremely hyped "Shiyaaka Silver / شياكة | Khadlaj / خدلج". This one is a dupe of Reflection Man, which is quite well done, especially in the price range of between €15 and €20, which is about what this Shiyaaka line costs. You definitely get a lot for this price in terms of quality. Unlike the famous Shiyaaka Red, this one cannot be easily categorized as a dupe. Of course, this is not a scent that makes you feel like it’s something completely new. Those looking for a relatively fresh scent that is pleasing for everyday activities could absolutely find what they are looking for here. For a tight budget, you can find a great all-rounder if you enjoy something a bit sweeter.

As mentioned, the price is really top-notch. I bought 100ml for just under €15, and for that, you get a fragrance that is pretty much always wearable. This scent comes in a decent box that can be easily disposed of, unlike many other fragrances from the Arab region. The bottle also looks quite nice, and this silver pattern immediately catches the eye. It feels good too and slightly reminds me of the Dunhill Icon line.
In terms of scent, I often read comparisons to Bleu de Chanel. I can't agree with that at all. This one caters to a completely different target audience, as it is more semi-fresh and has that synthetic but pleasant sweetness. The blue aspect also gives a rather misleading impression since it has that mainstream DNA with a decent portion of sweetness. The pyramid does not reflect what is really in there, but this is still a fragrance that I really like and can be easily integrated into daily life. To name a few similar scents that roughly go in this direction: Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense, Scandal pour Homme, Invictus Victory. This direction is much more emphasized here than that typical shower gel scent.
The fragrance starts with a lot of creamy citrus and slightly leans towards lemon cake. Bergamot and lime provide a delicious citrus note, which is underscored by that mainstream sweet freshness often found in designer scents. It also has a slight bubblegum freshness, similar to what you get with Rasasi Hawas. There are also slightly greenish nuances with basil and patchouli that come through and fit well with the citrus. A pleasant lavender note joins the freshness. The base is quite pleasantly warm with a nice mix of musk, amber, and cedarwood that emerges quite early on. Overall, a great scent that is significantly sweeter than the pyramid suggests.
Performance is top-notch and lasts at least 8 hours. The later hours are, of course, much closer to the skin. The opening projects quite well, which is what you can expect from this rather synthetic sweet combo. It’s perfect for everyday wear with a simple composition. Those looking for a "blue" scent will likely be disappointed here.

Overall, a great cheapie that particularly suits young modern men in casual outfits.

Of Herbs, Lemons, and Fine Woods.

I already expressed my opinion about the house "Khadlaj" with "Shiyaaka Silver / شياكة | Khadlaj / خدلج". And about the feel of the bottles as well. "Grippy grater"... it feels great.
However, the scent is quite different, yet still very good. Here we have "herbaceous freshness" from aromatic basil, which is further enhanced by a slightly sour bright citrus freshness. Similar to the "Bleue" series from Chanel or Turathi (Blue).
In addition, there are the herbal scents of lavender and the earthiness of patchouli, which gives the perfume structure a slightly fougère-like quality. Woods join in quite late, but everything else remains equally present. Cedar and amber form an ambivalent duet, one being green-aromatic and the other balsamic-sweet. A hint of musk, only very subtle, conveys and unites everything in a bright manner. This "Blue" is more suited for the warmer seasons, but can surprisingly uplift in the cooler and darker months and make the wait for warmth quite "bearable".

I'm not a huge fan of sweet fresh designer fragrances but i do like them from time to time. For 12 EUR this scratched that itch.

Tommy Hilfiger Impact Intense clone. Very close one. If you like fresh and sweet fragrances, for 20$ you can't go wrong with Shiyaaka Blue.

A Scandal smart twist, less sweet as it should have been created by JPG... and yes, there's a bit of Bleu in it. Best blue I own for €14 !!!
