Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Al Shams EDP Perfume lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Elysium.

Lattafa sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Elysium's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $45 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Elysium — the 8th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.

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 Lattafa 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

What it is chasing: grapefruit, lemon and bergamot up top, blackcurrant, juniper and cypress in the middle, vetiver, cedar and ambergris underneath — the shape of Roja Parfums Elysium.

Top

  • grapefruit
  • lemon
  • bergamot

Heart

  • blackcurrant
  • juniper
  • cypress

Base

  • vetiver
  • cedar
  • ambergris
For the golden hour. Sparkling grapefruit and blackcurrant meet vetiver and ambergris — fresh, luminous and quietly seductive.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
