The review
Shiyaaka Blue scores 6.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Bleu de Chanel.
Khadlaj describes it with bergamot, lime and basil — a different vocabulary from Bleu de Chanel's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.
It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $30 it costs 83% less than Bleu de Chanel.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Khadlaj publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Chanel Bleu de Chanel is grapefruit, lemon and mint at first, ginger, nutmeg and jasmine at its heart and incense, sandalwood and cedar at the end. Khadlaj set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- grapefruit
- lemon
- mint
Heart
- ginger
- nutmeg
- jasmine
Base
- incense
- sandalwood
- cedar
For the man of every occasion. Citrus and pink pepper dry down to incense, sandalwood and cedar — the safe bet that still impresses.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
