I like it better than the more expensive original
The Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud line is already very hyped. It all started with this original, which went viral on social media. The subsequent releases are also very popular, especially "Shaghaf Oud Tonka | Swiss Arabian," "Shaghaf Oud Azraq (Eau de Parfum) | Swiss Arabian," and also a bit of this Ahmar. The line manages to offer great performance and stylistically comes very close to its inspirations. There is also something independent included to some extent. On top of that, there’s this really good price. These limited editions Azraq, Ahmar & Tonka are not quite as cheap as, for example, the original, but absolutely affordable. Additionally, these editions come in a niche-like elegant packaging that opens up. With this great brand from Dubai, you get a very, very good price-performance ratio.
This Ahmar was launched last year and it was quite well received. As is often the case with these fragrances from Dubai, they arrive in mainstream shops quite late, as they are initially sold out quickly and often overpriced due to the hype. Currently, there are quite a few circulating, and you can even find better prices in some cases.
The Ahmar clearly goes in the fruity Erba Pura direction. This direction has been very trendy in recent years, and the dupe market was quite full of this DNA. However, this Ahmar does not go 1:1 into that of Xerjoff's. From the very beginning, this fragrance is milder, and the musk component in the scent is by no means as overpowering. The base is also somewhat more independent and leans towards Oriental. The opening is extremely pleasant with a fruity melon-peach note, and apple comes through quickly. A great fruit mix that feels very harmonious and juicy. It also has a slightly exotic-fruity quality and quickly reminds one of Erba Pura. The fruity sweetness is simply pleasant in this fragrance. Even though vanilla & tonka are also included here, it is more of this fruit cocktail in the opening. The sweet notes become active more from the base along with sandalwood, amber, musk, a light rose note, and subtly Oriental. Even though the name suggests it, I don’t really get Oud. Overall, everything is very coherent, harmonious, and extremely pleasing. Whether man or woman, this fragrance always fits if you like this exotic-fruity direction a la Erba Pura. It is also quite versatile in terms of occasion, especially in leisure time.
Performance is really good, like most "dupes" of this well-known style. It seems to be doing well with this DNA. Here you get longevity in the double-digit range and a sillage that radiates extremely well. You will definitely stand out with this fragrance, even without overspraying.
Overall, a great option if you like these fruity notes. For me, the best fragrance with this DNA in this price category. I like it even better than the "original" from the niche department, as the title suggests.
