Oud monster at a low price!
This is one of those fragrances that leaves no doubt from the first spray: It's straight to the point. The combination of oriental, woody and spicy notes unfolds a powerful presence that does not dissipate quickly.

The top notes of saffron and lavender create an exciting contrast. The saffron adds a slightly tart spiciness, while the lavender provides a hint of freshness that gives the fragrance some air - just enough to prevent it from being too overwhelming.

At the heart, the oud takes over - and with full force. The oud is very medicinal and accompanied by strong nutmeg, it becomes smoky and spicy, almost edgy. This reveals the dark, unpolished side of the fragrance, which makes it very distinctive.

The base of musk and patchouli rounds off the whole thing without adding too much warmth or sweetness. Instead, the fragrance remains dry, powerful and with a slight spiciness that makes it quite edgy.

Be careful, this is not a cozy cuddly fragrance - it's more of a statement. If you have a soft spot for powerful, spicy and dry creations that don't sink into a sweet mishmash, you'll be delighted. This fragrance leaves an impression - not through its pleasantness, but through its character.

At the zoo in front of the...
... Koala bears are just getting their food, the eucalyptus leaves smell right up to the zoo visitors. These little bears are not deterred from eating these leaves with relish.

When applying this perfume, a eucalyptus note enters the nose even if it is not in the fragrance pyramid. A green grassy note is then slowly added from behind, which I assume is due to the oud. Gradually, floral and spicy accords follow. After a while, this fragrance becomes creamy and darkens slightly.

The longevity and silage are very good.

This unisex fragrance is very suitable for the office, leisure time or even in the evening. This fragrance can also be worn by younger people.

If you like that the fragrance has a eucalyptus note, you are in good hands here.

Another good fragrance (clone) of the house for a small price/ + personal opinion!
Hello everyone,

how do I start this review = good question ...!
Foreword:

We are talking about a house that somehow feels like it only clones fragrances! Do I think this is good?
NO!

Do I find it reprehensible?
Rather no!

Why?

Personal opinion on this!

Designing a fragrance, bottling it, designing bottles (etc.) very often runs into hundreds of thousands (roughly) of euros. I call it resources x, if I had those to create a fragrance, then I would use these resources to create something new, + something else that does not yet exist in the best possible combination today..., but nowadays all companies (99%) always think that a fragrance must generate maximum success and sales. In part, I lack the courage to take risks...

At the end of the day, this is also perfectly correct/ economical and with the cloning of "successful" fragrances for a fraction of the money...., it is an approach but certainly not the one I would choose, but that is a personal point of view...
_____________

About the fragrance:

It is 98% in the direction of "Oud for Greatness | Initio" and Haltane. Woody, spicy, oriental, slightly green, some lavender and a soft, fluffy drydown are what we have here.

A non-professional will hardly or NEVER (!) notice the difference to the expensive pedant and that alone is really frightening and shows how good some of those clone houses have become.

Of course, trained noses notice a certain difference and to dismiss this out of hand is nonsense in my opinion. So if you are looking for something like this, you want and need to go for it!
It is very well received when sprayed discreetly!
Its biggest plus point is its price! Because it costs around 150€ less
like the "Oud for Greatness | Initio" or the Haltane ...
with a similar performance and somehow this is almost frightening...

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you are reading this review, LG the Benny

Ever since I discovered the Shaghaf Oud Royale online, I've been lurking around it and checking from time to time to see if it was finally available to order from Germany. Now the time had finally come and it arrived quickly. Then the first spray, I smelled it and 'oh no, I know that scent'.
In the opening, it smells one to one like the "Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory | Lattafa / لطافة".
I immediately tested both next to each other and have to say that the Shaghaf Oud Royale is a little softer and rounder right from the start. The squeaky sweetness that I know and like from the Oud for Glory is weaker and quickly wears off in the Royale. The lavender comes through more here and the saffron remains somewhat in the background.
After that, it becomes a very beautiful fragrance that is suitable for everyday wear and that I no longer have to sneak around. ️
