Mazaaji

Scent Breakdown

Mazaaji attempts to capture the regal spirit of Elie Saab's Le Parfum Royal, and it gets surprisingly close, maybe 89%. The opening bursts with a juicy mandarin, but it lacks the refined sparkle of the original. The heart features a strong rose duo, Turkish and Bulgarian, supported by a touch of neroli. It's a potent floral mix, but the rose leans slightly more synthetic here. The base offers a comforting patchouli, sandalwood, and amber blend. The drydown is where it deviates most from Le Parfum Royal, becoming slightly sweeter and less woody.

How Long Does it Last?

Longevity is decent. I get around 6-7 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first hour. It projects well enough to get you noticed but won't fill a room. On clothes, it lasts even longer. Nothing groundbreaking, but perfectly acceptable point. It won't fool anyone who knows the original intimately, but for everyday wear, it's a great option. If you enjoy rose-patchouli fragrances and don't want to drop serious cash, this is a winner. Is Le Parfum Royal worth 5-6 times the price? Only if you demand ultimate refinement and natural ingredients. For value-conscious fragrance lovers, Mazaaji delivers a satisfying experience.
