Like it a lot!

This is amazing for the money. I don't get much of a blue "BDC" vibe at all. I sprayed JPG Scandal and this side by side today. It is very similar to my nose. I can't stand the coconut note in Scandal, so this is the perfect sweet, yet a bit fresher alternative (for a fraction of the price, I paid 13€).
There is a bit of lemon, but more of the sweet candy type. Definitely not the sour or juicy type.
Don't get this, if you think you are getting a blue, shower gel type of fragrance...this stuff is sweet!
I was pleasantly surprised and can't stop sniffing my arm when I wear it.
The bottle looks awful to me and is annoying to transport in case you want to take it somewhere, but that's fine for the price.
I might get a back up bottle, since it seems to be discontinued.

Wow! What a price/performance ratio!!!

I paid EUR 22.00 for this blind purchase and that is a gift for such a fragrance.
The bottle has the lid of Boucheron pour Homme. A heavy larger glass bottle with a super sprayer. And the aluminum is great and classy, almost as if it were steel. Bentley could upgrade its
good fragrances with its cheap lightweight aluminum good fragrances. But apparently the Europeans can't manage these great, heavy, high-quality bottles.
The fragrance is like a sweet flanker of Blue du Chanel, but comes across as citrusy, fresh and classy and lasts for 4 hours. For an aquatic fragrance, the top note is a record, and both men and women like it. Many people ask what it is and are surprised when I tell them the price. Such a noble
Fragrance for so little money, most people don't even believe it.
the high rating here is justified.
This fragrance would sell for upwards of EUR 140.00 at our high-end perfumers.
And Kadlaj proves that the fragrances from the Emirates are more and more competition for our expensive fragrances. Price corrections happen quickly! If the Arabs produce such fine fragrances for so little money, you have to ask yourself whether the YSL, Dior and Chanel fragrances are worth their price. Chanel hasn't come up with anything for a long time, and the only men's fragrances worth buying are the erratic block Antaeus and the fantastic lemon of Allur Sport Cologne. And Sauvage has no chance against this fragrance!!!

Nice sweet freshness at a great price

We continue with the Khadlaj brand from Dubai, which sells really great fragrances at low prices. I had already reviewed the extremely hyped Shiyaaka Silver. It's a dupe for Reflection Man, which is quite well made, especially in the price range between €15 and €20, which is about what this Shiyaaka range costs. You definitely get a lot for this price in terms of quality. Unlike the famous Shiyaaka Red, you can't really classify it as a dupe. Of course, this is not a fragrance where you get the feeling that it hasn't existed before. If you are looking for this type of pleasant, relatively fresh fragrance for everyday activities, you could absolutely find it here. For a small budget, you will find a great all-rounder if you like to be a little sweeter on the go.

As I said, the price is really great. i bought 100ml for just under 15€ and for that you get a fragrance that is pretty much always wearable. This fragrance comes in an attractive cardboard box that is easy to dispose of, unlike many other fragrances from the Arab world. The bottle also looks quite good and the silver pattern immediately catches the eye. It also feels good and is slightly reminiscent of the Dunhill Icon range.
In terms of scent, I often read similarities to Bleu de Chanel here. I can't go along with that at all. It is aimed at a completely different target group, as it is rather semi-fresh and has this synthetic but pleasant sweetness. Blue also gives the wrong impression as it has this mainstream DNA with a good dose of sweetness. The pyramid also doesn't reflect what's really in it, but this is still a fragrance that I really like and can be easily incorporated into everyday life. To name a few similar fragrances that roughly go in this direction: Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense, Scandal pour Homme, Invictus Victory. This direction is taken here much more than this type of shower gel fragrance.
In terms of scent, this fragrance starts with a lot of creamy citrus and goes slightly in the direction of lemon cake. Bergamot and lime provide a delicious citrus note, which is accompanied by that mainstream sweet freshness that you often smell from designers. This also has that slight bubblegum freshness that you get from Rasasi Hawas, for example. Slightly greenish nuances with basil and patchouli also come through easily and go well with the citrus. The freshness is joined by a pleasant lavender note. The base is quite pleasantly warm with a beautiful blend of musk, amber and cedar wood that flashes up much earlier. Overall, a great fragrance that is much sweeter than the pyramid suggests.
Performance is top and lasts for at least 8 hours. The later hours are of course much closer to the skin. The start radiates quite well, which is to be expected from this rather synthetic sweet combo. Top suitable for everyday wear with a simple style. Those looking for a more "blue" fragrance will be disappointed here.

All in all, a great cheapie that is particularly suitable for young, modern men in casual outfits.

Chanel level for 15 euros?

I'm currently testing a few Khadlaj fragrances because I've already found a few gems that I'll describe here one by one.

The bottle is a bit clunky and not exactly pretty. However, the sprayer does a good job and the "tin" also looks solid and stable.

I've already worn it several times and also compared it side by side with Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum, as this is often mentioned in this context, but not as a clone. And yes, it definitely goes in the same direction here, but in comparison it already seems very synthetic and doesn't come close to the sophistication of its distant role model.

I once tried Scandal pour Homme, which is also often mentioned, but didn't like it. Maybe that's also the reason why I was bothered by a note right from the start that constantly pinched my nose throughout the entire fragrance. It was the same with Scandal back then.

Longevity and sillage are good.

For around 15 euros, you definitely get a good fragrance that doesn't have to hide. In terms of quality, it doesn't come close to the level of Chanel, but it doesn't have to, because most direct clones, which often cost even more, don't manage that either.

Freshness for the cold

Shiyaaka Blue is a really strong everyday fragrance for me. It's especially perfect in fall, winter and spring. As I prefer fresh fragrances, which often don't last as well in the colder temperatures, this one is ideal. It has a lovely sweet note that even I really like to smell. The longevity is solid and lasts throughout the day without any problems. Sure, it's not a completely new or unusual fragrance, but it's a very safe one. I smell similarities to One Million, only fresher. In contrast, I don't recognize Bleu de Chanel at all.
