Better than Khamrah
So i own this and Khamrah, i honestly couldnt tell any significant difference. It's redundant to buy if u alr have Khamrah.

Scent wise, no boozy note that i can detect in here. Everything just smells like Khamrah, Sharaf is a lil bit fresher and less sweet, but not by significant margin.

The performance is 1 level above Khamrah, totally worth the money while Khamrah is more expensive nowadays bc of the hype. It lasts more than 6h easily on my skin, havent tried it on the clothes. Sprayed this at 6pm on my back neck, and at 7am the next morning i could still catch a small whiff while moving, even tho it was alr got rubbed on my pillow. The concentration on the box is extrait, while Khamrah is only EDP. So it should perform better i guess.

Packaging wise, i prefer this over Khamrah. The box and the bottle are so much better than Khamrah's. I like that they put the label on top of the cap, makes the bottle looks clean without cheap or misplaced label like on Khamrah's.

Well noth much to say, its cheap, performs great for the price, and smells good. And ofc it smells a lil synthetic, but "wow u smell so synthetic," said no one ever.

A more delicate version of khamrah
Having Khamrah in my collection, I wasn't particularly eager to test Sharaf Blend, but I was curious about the conflicting opinions about the Zimaya release. Some said it was a more feminine version of Khamrah, others said it was more masculine.
I finally decided to test Sharaf Blend and I agree with the opinions that the composition from Zimaya does not veer in any direction. Sharaf Blend is a Ideal middle-of-the-road unisex. The scent is very similar to Khamrah, almost identical. It differs in that it is slightly less sweet, more subtle and smoother, maybe it also has a bit more of an alcoholic nuances.
Despite its greater sweetness, I like Khamrah more, it has a more pronounced accord of baked apple pie with cinnamon, the composition of Lattafa is also more expressive and, over time, tends to be more masculine. The apple pie in Sharaf Blend smells as if they forgot to add apples to the dough and didn't add vanilla instead.
It's hard to decide which scent is better, they are so close that there is no point in having both. I don't need Sharaf Blend as Khamrah suits my taste perfectly, but the beautiful bottle finally convinced me to buy it. It is really well made and will look phenomenal on the shelf.
Great parameters, although weaker than Khamrah. Longevity is similar, it is a long-lasting scent, but the projection is much more delicate. Sharaf Blend is a more subtle version and if Khamrah is too strong and sweet for someone, Zimaya will be perfect.

The epitome of holiday gifts
Although the presentation of many middle eastern clones surpasses that of most designers these days, this one is honestly on another level. Soft touch faux leather box that closes magnetically, a golden coloured inlay that reflects daylight towards the bottle, and an incredibly heavy glass bottle with a cap that outweighs the original. The gold metal plate on the top of the bottle (not the cap) is beautiful too, with a solid, albeit stiff atomizer - but that can be overlooked given the price.

Fortunately, the scent is about what you would expect. Take your standard caramely woody amber base, add the characteristic boozy apple from Angels' Share and surround it with a strange kind of woody muskiness that I can't quite place. No oudy funk, no sharp nose-tweaking isopropinol, just penetrating ambery goodness.

The opening is easily the best part. That quality boozy apple accord really kicks for a good hour but it's nowhere near as sparkly as the original Kilian. Not as much spice as I expected either. What really dominates the fragrance is that woody caramel base that literally goes on for decades. I haven't smelled Khamrah, but from what I've heard about its strength, I would imagine the two are not that dissimilar. In fact, it's one of those fragrances that, if you spray some on skin and immediately throw a piece of clothing over it, that piece of clothing will smell of it for weeks, possibly months. No jokes. Sillage and longevity are well above average, borderline nuclear with more than 4 sprays.

For anyone not familiar with the scent profile, it's in the same genre as PdM's Oajan/Habdan/Layton/Carlisle, as well as Ferragamo's Uomo or something from the Stronger With You line. Syrupy-sweet, but woody and fruity very much appropriate for the holiday season. In fact, combined with the stellar presentation, I can hardly think of a better gift for someone who loves sweet fragrances (perhaps even a drinker?), unless the recipient is dead-set on a designer name. It's strong, attention grabbing, inexpensive and cuts through the cold like most other nuclear syrupy fragrances. It's even double the volume of the Kilian so that's a plus.

The only con is that it'd likely be a redundant buy if you already own some of the more popular Angels' Share clones out there (with undoubtedly more to follow). Could use a bit more booziness on the back end too. But overall, it's a very pleasurable and well performing scent. Not quite a perfect clone, but close enough. Can't wait to give this one more wear in the cooler weather. Christmas time here we come!

Boozy Apple Pie
Wow! That was my first impression putting my nose to this. In love.

I usually don't layer but this one plays well with my other fragrances, as I like the boozy-sweet-spice combo. There was kind of a woody base left from this morning and I put The Extreme (AF) over it and WOW again. I know that's not necessarily a true 'layer' but I'm actually going to try it.

I have to spray quite a bit of this (3x to each side of the neck, 1 to each hand or wrist)...to some that's not much. I'm just used to heavier beastmode fragrances where 3 sprays is all that's needed. No need to be shy with this one. 5-8 sprays seems to be the sweet spot for me.

This is super smooth and versatile. Very unisex. The scent profile probably isn't very unique at this point but I don't really care. I've only had this stuff for 2 days and have put a dent in it!

Very feminine… old lady-esque
This perfume smells like old lady setting powder. So powdery. Not as advertised at all. I couldn’t stand it and I usually love sweet creamy scents.

This was a huge disappointment. I returned my bottle the same day I received it. I could not believe that this is what angels share smells like if it really does. It’s so disastrously bad I would not recommend this to either gender to wear.

2/10

Wow! Much better than Khamrah. Less sweet, less spicy and in general more balanced. But is still very sweet and feminine for me. 9/10 anyway

Overrated, too sweet, the kind that will choke you and everybody else within a few meters distance. I don't get the hype.

Buy Lattafa Khamrah instead.
This is lighter and weaker than Khamrah and on top of that it smells quite synthetic to my nose.

Overrated. Caramel and dates dominate, too sweet for me. It smells just as expected for the price. Nothing groundbreaking.
