Luxury Vibes, Low Price
The Scent:
I love this fragrance for many reasons. First, the quality is amazing for the price point. After a few months of maceration, I get a pretty good performance out of it. It's a clean and professional scent ideal for office and school. I even wore it to the gym because it's pretty inoffensive. There’s also a subtle Middle Eastern vibe running through it, which adds character. I also love the floral and powdery nature of this perfume. Not only it doesn't make the scent feminine, but also it makes it luxurious and classy.
Comparison to Amouage Reflection:
As a clone I would give Shiyaaka Silver a 7, but as standalone fragrance, I give it a solid 8. It's not as bright as reflection in the opening and the drydown is a bit more powdery. Of course, the original Reflection has superior quality. So don't expect Shiyaaka to be as clear and complex as the OG.
The Bottle:
Honestly, one of the ugliest bottles I've ever seen. It feels heavy and solid in the hand but the design is horrible.
Conclusion:
Shiyaaka Silver by Khadlaj is one of the best Amouage Reflection alternatives, especially now that the price has dropped significantly. It’s definitely worthy of being a signature scent.
