Shiyaaka Blue pairs a bright citrus-aromatic opening with a warm, powdery amber-woody base, giving it more structure than a typical everyday citrus. Fragrantica's community voting rates it strongly on value, with the majority of respondents calling it good or great value, and Khadlaj places it within the 2023-launched Shiyaaka line. It suits regular rotation across spring, summer and autumn, with moderate-to-strong sillage and long-lasting performance backed by a sample of over 200 Fragrantica votes.

Shiyaaka Blue opens on bergamot, lime and basil, settles into a lavender-patchouli heart, and finishes on cedarwood, musk and amber. Shiyaaka Blue sits in the citrus-aromatic family with a warm, ambery-woody base. On Fragrantica, just under half of wearers rate its longevity as long lasting or better.
Shiyaaka Blue is built around a citrus-aromatic accord: bergamot, lime and basil up top, a lavender and patchouli heart, and a base of cedarwood, musk and amber. Fragrantica's own accord breakdown puts citrus as the dominant note (100), followed by amber (79), fresh spicy (68), aromatic (58), lavender (52), woody (52), musky (48) and powdery (47) — a fragrance that reads bright and green at first, then turns warm and slightly powdery as it settles. Khadlaj classifies it within the Citrus family, released in 2023, and the accord spread is broad, with eight named accords all scoring above 47, rather than one single note carrying the whole thing.
The opening is sharp and green — bergamot and lime cut through basil's peppery edge. Through the middle hours, lavender and patchouli round that citrus out into something more aromatic than sweet, pulling the fragrance away from a straightforward citrus cologne. By the base, cedarwood, musk and amber take over, leaving a warm, slightly powdery finish that sits close to the skin rather than projecting outward. Fragrantica wearers split it fairly evenly between day and night use — 56% wear it during the day, 44% after dark — so it holds up in either setting rather than needing a specific time slot.
Across 203 Fragrantica votes, just under half (49.75%) call Shiyaaka Blue's longevity long lasting, with a further 7.39% rating it eternal, against 36.45% who found it moderate and a small minority at weak or very weak. Sillage runs more restrained: of 197 voters, 60.41% describe it as moderate and 29.95% call it strong, with only small numbers at the intimate or enormous extremes. In practice that reads as a fragrance that stays close to the skin but holds its ground for hours, rather than one that fills a room. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Of 601 season votes on Fragrantica, spring (32.11%), summer (29.62%) and autumn (26.62%) all score close together, with winter trailing well behind at 11.65%. That spread points to a fragrance suited to the three warmer seasons rather than one built for cold weather, though its powdery amber base keeps it from feeling thin in the heat. Price-value voting on Fragrantica leans strongly positive too, with the great value and good value bands together taking the large majority of the 200 votes on that axis.
Shiyaaka Blue is marketed as a men's fragrance, and Fragrantica's gender voting agrees decisively: 50% of voters mark it male and a further 41.09% male-leaning, against a small unisex and female showing. Both the product record and the wider community read point the same way, so it is presented here as a men's fragrance rather than unisex.
Fragrantica's community-linked comparisons for Shiyaaka Blue point most often to Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum, from Chanel, as sharing its citrus-aromatic opening and ambery woody base. It is a useful reference point for shape and character, not a claim that the two are the same. Within the FG range, Shiyaaka Snow is the closer in-stock alternative if you want to stay in the same Khadlaj line.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
