Excellent perfume!

Wow, just wow! Bought blindly. Paid about 13.5$ for 75 ml bottle. What a wonderful perfume! Indeed it smells almost identical with PR Black XS for men, only in the late drydown they are a little bit different. Smells more expensive than its price. A little bit sweeter, but still acceptable even for a grizzled man like me, who usually don't like sweet perfumes.
Performances are very good, with heavy sillage in first two hours, then calms down gradually and projects good for 1-2 hours more. Longevity is very good, more than 6-7 hours, with an expected decreasing projection. On clothes it smells more than 24 hours.
A very, very happy blind buy. Pleased to meet you Swiss Arabian! Highly recommended!

Wonderful blind buy.

What a wonderful perfume! it smells similar to PR Black XS for men, but in the end they are a little different. A little sweeter than Black XS, but still acceptable even for a grizzled man like me, who doesn't generally like sweet scents. It smells more expensive than its price (pay about €20 for 75ml). Definite crowd pleaser, you'll smell like an ice cream van parked beside the beach - this one is being slept on for sure.

Performance appears to be very good, with heavy silage for the first two hours, then gradually calms down and projects well for another 1-2 hours. Longevity is very good, over 6-7 hours, with expected decreasing projection. In clothes it smells more than 24 hours. A very, very happy blind purchase.

Nice to meet you, Swiss Arabian! Highly recommended!

White Exzess

“Shaghaf Men” is a fruity Arabic spring fragrance close to gourmand status. Somewhere between “Black XS” and “Aventus.” And unlike what one might expect from this olfactory as well as geographical region, it is not a bombshell like its “predecessors,” but rather positively calm and balanced. Especially after the initial hit.

In the vast majority of cases with Arabic “pendants” to Western bestsellers, the respective scents are made significantly more potent, powerful, and intense. Cheaper, of course, as well. The latter also applies to “Shaghaf Men.” However, surprisingly, the former does not on my skin. Quite the opposite. While “Black XS” can come across as very youthful and somewhat intrusive to older noses, “Shaghaf Men” is clearly the more wearable and everyday alternative. No longer just for clubs and shisha bars. More like a futuristic lavender sweetheart with quickly drying synthetic facets. Very fruity, very moist, very bright, very refined. Whether one identifies it as pineapple or strawberry plays a rather minor role. For me, it’s a kind of “Light Black XS” - and therefore infinitely more accessible and elegant. Not a timeless masterpiece. Certainly not. But one that is always welcome on my skin.

Bottle: the “Arabs” always seem a bit unrefined, cheap, and clumsy here.
Sillage: very sweet, but not overly strong. Good.
Longevity: 7-9 hours - oriental cut.

Conclusion: a transparent-synthetic praline full of fruit and (initially) impact. Strongly reminiscent of the Paco Rabanne hit. Becomes increasingly subtle and beautiful over time.

Citrusy, warm-peppery feel-good blind buy. However, not an aquatic!

The top note starts slightly citrusy-bitter. Fortunately, it is completely pleasant, without any monk stone vibes, as is unfortunately often the case. Instead, you are greeted here with an olfactory mix of freshly washed laundry paired with pure lime! This comes across as extremely natural and like freshly cut.
After one to two minutes, the scent becomes warmer, fuller, denser, and almost opulent. A spicy-warm freshness sets in.

In the scent development of the heart note, it remains citrusy-fresh-warm. Only the spiciness diminishes a bit and remains pleasantly in the background.

The base sounds a bit shallow, but consistently pleasant with a sweet-warm, slightly peppery note.

Overall, especially considering the low price, an absolute blind buy candidate for me! Even though this is not the case towards the end, the scent is particularly profound and multifaceted in the first third. Very unusual for a designer!

However, caution: The scent is hard for me to classify/restrict, but it is definitely not an aquatic, in my opinion! Aquatic notes can, with a lot of imagination, be discerned at most in the background.

H/S Average.
