Shiyaaka Snow opens with bright bergamot and mandarin, moves into a spiced heart of pink pepper, nutmeg and neroli, then settles into a dry cardamom and vetiver base. Of 413 Fragrantica votes, 60% rate its longevity as moderate, with a further 19% calling it long-lasting.
Shiyaaka Snow is a 2025 Citrus Aromatic release from Khadlaj. It opens on bergamot and mandarin — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts citrus at 100% strength, the dominant note in the whole composition. Fresh spicy (87%) and aromatic (83%) accords sit right underneath, carried by pink pepper and nutmeg in the heart, with neroli adding a white floral lift (46%); floral overall sits at 48%, well short of a heavy floral presence. The base brings cardamom and vetiver, showing up as warm spicy (70%), soft spicy (68%), woody (53%) and earthy (46%) accords, with a trace of green (47%) running through the dry-down. Read together, this is a bright, peppery citrus built on a dry, aromatic spice base rather than a sweet or floral one.
The opening is sharp and citrus-led — bergamot's zest with mandarin's rounder sweetness. As that fades, pink pepper and nutmeg push the fresh spicy and warm spicy accords forward, and neroli keeps a bright, slightly green edge over the spice, stopping it from turning heavy. The dry-down is where cardamom and vetiver take over, settling into the woody and earthy character that Fragrantica's accord data shows as the composition's quieter, longer-running half. Fragrantica's daypart voting leans toward daytime wear — 70.89% of 608 votes log it as a day scent against 29.11% for evening.
Of 413 Fragrantica longevity votes, 60.05% rate Shiyaaka Snow's staying power as moderate, 19.13% call it long-lasting, and a further 11.62% find it very weak. Sillage tracks similarly: of 406 votes, 67.00% describe its projection as moderate, 21.18% as more intimate and skin-close, and 10.34% call it strong. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the warmer months — summer leads at 38.84%, with spring close behind at 33.15%, of 1,246 total votes. Autumn (17.74%) and winter (10.27%) trail well behind. It reads as a bright-weather scent first, with spring and summer carrying nearly three-quarters of the vote.
Khadlaj markets Shiyaaka Snow as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting backs that framing: of 438 votes, unisex is the single largest bucket at 43.84%, ahead of every gendered label on its own.
Fragrantica's community voting links Shiyaaka Snow most closely to Game of Spades Double Bonus by Jo Milano Paris, suggesting the two share a similar bright, spiced-citrus accord profile. If you're drawn to sharp, peppery citrus fragrances more broadly, this sits comfortably in that same territory. Within Khadlaj's own range, Shiyaaka Gold is the closest FG-carried alternative, sharing the same line's DNA if not the same accord profile.

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.
