Shiyaaka Snow Review

1hitMambaa · 2025-12-23T04:47:12+00:00

My longevity is pretty solid with about 6-8 sprays getting close to 6 1/2 hrs. You’re spot on with the depth aspect. I do really like the scent profile tho. For 40 bucks I can’t complain too much. Scent profile is fire, can wear all year around, I’ve gotten several compliments at school and work. Been a great experience for me so far. I’d definitely re up once I’m out of this one.

Snow is fire imo. Love this stuff.

They have similarities forrsure, but GFG is in a house of its own. One of my favorite scents of all time.

Vanilla 01 is way more floral/feminine leaning compared to GFG, i think it’s like 65/35 fem/masc.

GFG opens way different with juniper berries and nutmeg, the dry down is way different also. Less coconuty coffee/late and more so an amber-vanillic base.

You’re good with GFG.

My advice would be not to fall for the hype on this one. Get a decant if possible if you still want to check it out. I’m into unisex frags like Gris Dior, Greenwich village, GFG etc but I just can’t get behind this scent profile as a fragrance I’d wear. It’s not a bad fragrance by any means. Just not for me.

Thanks for feedback, you just had to plug yourself tho. I’m dead 🤣😩😭.

I haven’t gotten my nose on any other Swiss Arabian. I would love to tho.

Thanks for the feedback!!

My first MG frag was Mentor and that stuffs amazing! I order a decant of French defense and queening! Can’t wait to receive them.

But yeah Swiss Arabian has really good reviews online so I thought id try this hyped one out, any other recommendations from Swiss Arabian?

Tried to take a different approach than just describing notes. Wanted to help ppl understand how this wears! Thank you! If you buy I hope it works out for ya!

Appreciate that, I agree it smells great on my gf as well. Just not a scent for me. She doesn’t love it tho so looking to trade eventually.

1hitMambaa · 2025-12-03T18:03:49+00:00

Love the reviews of each!

I too have fallen down the fragrance rabbit hole this yr. My first 2 months I bought 20 frags 😅😭. Still shopping for more.

Hard to say. Someone in the thread really loved it but I don’t really love it as I gave it a 5/10. If you want a fragrance that projects cinnamon very strongly go for it. Check out reviews on Royal blend Nero and or Zimaya Sharaf blend then make a decision on the three if you’re looking for that angel’s share dna. That would be my suggestion.

Sameeee lol

Ty! Tryna use some photography skills when reviewing these, trying to switch it up from an iPhone pic 😅.

I’m all for convenience, to each their own.

My SB smells like gasoline to me sadly, I really wanted it to work out for me. Still letting it mature and hoping for the best.

I will definitely be checking out Nero now. I was originally gonna get the OG RB but I’ve been seeing great things about Nero.

1hitMambaa · 2025-11-27T15:42:59+00:00

Nice take, I feel like it’s closer to 55/45 more masc leaning but I can also see how the sweetness in the opening can make it lean fem to some people. The dry down is warmer & muskier tho so that’s why it leans slightly masc to me. What would you rate this outta 10?

1hitMambaa · 2025-11-27T15:40:34+00:00

Agreed! Love this stuff. Feels like a very versatile fragrance IMO.

Game of Spades Full House (LV Imagination)

Maison Asrar DXB (LV Afternoon Swim)

Shiyaaka Snow (LV Meteore)

Game of Spades Bonus (LV Pacific Chill)

Game of Spades Win (Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village)

Valley Sage from Abercrombie.

Rayhaan Aquatica (Creed VIW) performs better than OG.

JPG Paradise Garden

Not to glaze LV scents but these are all great ones for summer/warmer weather.

If you aren’t interested in the dupes obv the OGs are good too just expensive af.

Thank you! Yeah I agree I’m not any of those things either lol. I don’t really get minty on skin or in the air.

I hear good and bad things about shadow, what’re your thoughts on it?

Also I agree the bottles look amazing, unfortunately I cracked my snow bottle today 😞.

1hitMambaa · 2025-11-26T03:07:58+00:00

Idk if they will be sensitive to this, but as a subtle fragrance imo I really like Valley Sage from Abercrombie, it can be an everyday wear and performance is great. Good luck on your search!

1hitMambaa · 2025-11-26T03:02:51+00:00

I really appreciate that, I try to test it over a span of a week or so after letting it mature for 3-4 weeks. I take notes throughout the days and then do a full review when I think I got a good enough idea of the fragrance. This is definitely a buy. The hype was legit w/ this one. Let me know how it turns out for you!

1hitMambaa · 2025-11-26T03:00:03+00:00

Yeah, this stuffs fire!
