Green and Blue Wears the Pig
Shiyaaka Shadow. I must say, the name and the bottle do draw me in quite magically. I was a bit skeptical due to the fact that it is supposed to be a dupe of Bad Boy Cobalt and the original doesn't come off very well (neither in the reviews nor with the fragrance influencers) and this dupe is said to be quite close. But with a description of "woody, fresh, sweet/floral" - I was curious enough to at least order a sample.

Now to the scent:
To me, it does smell a bit like fresh "shower gel scent" - especially in the opening. In the opening, it smells relatively light, fresh, sweet, masculine. Not a bad first impression.
In the drydown, it reminds me a lot of the opening of Essence de Blanc - spicy, fresh, actually even a bit green (and herbal). And thus, it is not quite what I had hoped for. The opening is the weakness of Essence de Blanc and here it is the drydown of Shiyaaka Shadow. However, one only has to live with the opening for 30 minutes and with the drydown until the bitter end.

For me, the scent is unfortunately nothing. It is certainly "OK" - but I wouldn't wear it.
I hope this helps :)

Another Shower Gel Freshie
After a long wait, the "Shiyaaka Shadow | Khadlaj / خدلج" arrived today. After showering, I sprayed it on properly and thought, well, it’s not as special as advertised. Not that it’s bad; it is nice, but it actually reminds me very strongly of fragrances that most people already have in their collection, such as: "Bleu de Chanel (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel," "Versace pour Homme Dylan Blue (Eau de Toilette) | Versace," "Sauvage (Eau de Toilette) | Dior," and "Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir | Carolina Herrera." It starts off slightly citrusy and peppery, followed by a lightly smoky amber note that comes across as slightly earthy and mossy in the dry down. Nice, nothing special, it doesn’t offend and is, as they like to say, easy to wear. It is suitable for everyday use and also good for the gym. Would I recommend it? Yes and no; if you already have one of the fragrances mentioned above, you don’t need this scent unless you like this DNA. It’s nice, but that’s about it.

fresh woody scent with grapefruit and some sweetness, pretty linear but not bad

Bad Boy Cobalt for a lower price but still great quality. Addicting to be honest. No apple note listed but the fruits come off as apple to me. Lasts!

I receive at least one compliment from a stranger every time I wear it. The epitome of what you think a blue scent would/should smell like.

I don't know the original, but I and especially my wife loved the scent right away!
Fresh and woody notes are a great combo.

Nice fresh-woody freshie that smells to me like a mix of Aventus, Sauvage, and Bleu de Chanel. Strange: I smell pineapple at first.

Solid linear 0815 shower gel freshie with pretty good longevity/sillage. No one needs this, just go for the nicer Bleu de Chanel EDT.

Citrusy-fresh start, followed by subtle woody notes. A versatile everyday scent in a matte black bottle in Batman style. TOP!
