An affordable "blue" fragrance
Nothing new here, your nice mainstream smelling perfume, one you smelled a thousand times before, to put it simple, a mainstream blue "masculine" fragrance. To be fair, I do think Epoque Artistique is actually better than 90% of the blue style fragrances on the market, it’s a bit smoother all around, and there's this Khadlaj touch that I love, a creamy vanilla in the base, although buried under this deodorant profile. 

It’s a fragrance for younger guys and more mass appealing public, those who wear fragrances to smell nice and clean. For the price and quality you get here is well worth the money. I love what this brand is doing, and the quality is amazing for a fair price, and I totally see why the need for fragrances like this, they sell well and are indeed, practical fragrances considering the majority of people who wear fragrances, wear it for a practical function, and that’s perfectly ok, just not me, but the younger me would be happy with it.

If you enjoy mass appealing fragrances, mainly designer “blue” fragrances, do give this one a try, surpasses in quality most of your favorite brands, apart from Bleu de Chanel, which to me is still the best one from this style of fragrances.

Rating expresses my taste and originality, most blue generic fragrances I would give a 4 or less for reference.

Better than the original (Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir)
It's really rare that I find the dupe or the alternative better than the original.
This is definitely the case with Epoque Artistique.
Tested the original today and found it to be worse.
I can say that they are not 1:1 similar.
There are already differences.
Something about "Invictus Victory Elixir | Paco Rabanne" bothers me, it's something I can't smell at all in Khadlaj.
I would put the similarity at 75%.
The Khadlaj is a little sweeter, a little less spicy, creamier and slightly less synthetic.
Although it has to be said that both are quite synthetic, but the Khadlaj is still more pleasant on the nose.

But enough of the comparisons, I'll come straight to the opening.
This is super sweet, and very heavy, just like the whole fragrance actually.
In the air, it smells almost like caramel.
But if you smell it up close, you can recognize cardamom and pepper in particular.
I can also detect the lavender.

I have the feeling that the fragrance jumps directly from the top note to the base note without taking a long time.
Because I notice vanilla and tonka bean after a short time after opening.
The lavender is also prominent, it tries to give the fragrance a freshness, but in vain.
Together with the cardamom, it only gives the fragrance a light, fresh spiciness, but this is almost lost, as the vanilla and tonka bean are simply far too present.
This is also what I perceive in the air, vanilla and tonka and a creaminess that is almost reminiscent of coconut.

Towards the end, it remains a syrupy-sweet, spicy, creamy, slightly synthetic vanilla/tonka bomber.

You have to like it very sweet.
It's about as sweet as Khamrah or even slightly sweeter.
So a headache candidate if you overspray.

I find the performance very strong in the first 60-90 minutes.
After that it breaks down, but the charisma is still above average after about 2 hours.
But noticeably weaker, or it's just my nose.
The longevity is also above average.

A strong fragrance for the colder months.
It's not for warmer days, it makes you feel sick.
Perfectly unisex, even if I see it more on a man, but still unisex.

My conclusion: Anyone who loves this combination of vanilla and tonka bean and also likes it super sweet is in the right place.
All others should perhaps pass.
I like to layer it with other fragrances that are not so extremely sweet, then it is more bearable.
I like it but it's definitely not a blind buy candidate.
Nevertheless, I really like having it in my collection and will sometimes wear it on colder days.
