Raspberry Juice (Inspired by Ramon Monegal Flamenco)
Looking for a fruity perfume for summer? "Khadlaj 25 - Loyalty | Khadlaj / خدلج" could be just the scent.
Over the years, I've sniffed a lot, but nothing has come close to the scent of Loyalty.
No wonder, as the original is a niche fragrance that probably very few have ever tested.
We're talking about Flamenco Eau de Parfum.
Now to the most important part, the fragrance.
In the first few seconds, I advise against smelling too closely where you just sprayed, as the synthetic note at first is not exactly pleasant, to put it nicely.
Shortly after, the synthetic aspect fades away, and you perceive a super fruity cloud of fresh green apple and sweet raspberries.
A bit synthetic overall, but luckily you don't notice that much in the air.
In the dry down, it becomes floral and clean.
Jasmine and musk are clearly recognizable.
They also make the scent somewhat lightly feminine.
For some gentlemen, it might smell a bit too feminine from that moment on, but for me, it's still acceptable.
The apple note slightly recedes into the background, and the raspberry, along with the jasmine and musk, ultimately forms a sweet, fruity, floral, clean mix that simply smells nice.
Of all these notes, the raspberry dominates for me the most.
It has a gummy bear quality or a kind of raspberry soda.
Sometimes, the whole thing also reminds me of a cold raspberry drink.
I find this raspberry note makes the scent very youthful and playful.
I only know something similar from
"Bade'e Al Oud - Sublime | Lattafa / لطافة", where the fruity notes also smell somewhat similar to the raspberry in Loyalty.
However, they are not alike, so it's not a dupe or anything like that.
The performance is strong.
When I layer it with other summer fragrances, it completely dominates them.
5-6 sprays are enough to stand out.
The longevity on MY skin was around 8.5 hours.
Perfect for summer.
But I think it could also be worn in autumn or spring.
A little tip at the end: the scent is currently available for 75 euros at N.... I didn't pay that price myself.
If you do a little Googling, you can find it for less than half.
And for that price, it's really a great deal.

I've been looking for a raspberry scent for a long time! Is this the one?
Luckily, I wasn't disappointed.
The raspberry note is quite prominent.
It's sweet but somehow also refreshing and clean, really great for summer.
But maybe it's better to test it first 😄
