Zimaya Sharaf vs Lattafa Khamrah
Is Sharaf Blend finally an Angel's Share dupe? Because Khamrah may have caused a real hype around AS Dupes, but unfortunately it wasn't a real clone.
The answer is no!
Just like Khamrah, Sharaf Blend was at most inspired by Angel's Share, nothing more.
However, Sharaf Blend is a dupe of another fragrance.
As you can easily see from the statements, this is a dupe for Khamrah.
But is it really Khamrah 2.0?
Opening :
The Sharaf is clearly ahead in the opening.
Khamrah smells more synthetic compared to Sharaf, I notice the alcohol more clearly here.
The Sharaf is an extrait de parfum and you can tell.
It immediately comes across as higher quality and although the Khamrah doesn't smell blatantly synthetic, there is still a clear difference in quality.
Apart from that, the opening of both is quite similar, also in terms of the notes.
However, the dates are more present and realistic in Sharaf, which I definitely like better.
Sharaf also has the edge in DD.
It simply smells higher quality, darker, spicier and, compared to the Khamrah, it is definitely slightly boozy.
Not as blatant as the Angel's Share, but I still notice it.
But the differences aren't huge, it has to be said.
With both, you smell like a dessert from the Christmas season.
Dates, vanilla, cinnamon, praline, etc.
But the cognac note is completely absent in Khamrah, whereas it is very slightly perceptible in Sharaf.
On the other hand, I perceive the baked apple note more clearly in Khamrah, while Sharaf focuses on the date note and the praline/cinnamon note.
In general, all the notes in the Sharaf simply smell more natural, fuller and of higher quality.
The Khamrah can't keep up with that.
Until the end, there are small differences here and there, but the Sharaf is simply always and everywhere ahead, yet they smell 90%+ the same.
Untrained noses probably won't even notice any difference.
In terms of performance, you won't be disappointed here.
Although my Khamrah has had almost 2 years to mature, it is slightly inferior to the Sharaf Blend in the first hour.
After that, the Khamrah catches up and both are about equally strong, with a slight advantage for the Sharaf.
If you give the Sharaf more time, I'm sure this difference will also become clearer.
Basically, they perform quite similarly, I wouldn't describe either fragrance as a beast, but you can expect above-average longevity and sillage from both fragrances.
My conclusion :
You really don't need either of them in your collection.
If you have the Khamrah you don't need the Sharaf and vice versa.
But if you don't have either of them yet, then my opinion is quite clear: the Sharaf is the better choice.
I simply like it better. Some sweet, synthetic note in the Khamrah bothers me, so I've already swapped it for the Khamrah Qahwa.
And with the Sharaf Blend I now simply have the "better Khamrah" that I will keep in my collection, whereas the Khamrah can go after almost 2 years.
The answer is no!
