Khadlaj Perfumes Shiyaaka Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Shiyaaka Gold opens with Musk, Bergamot, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Pear, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Khadlaj Perfumes's Shiyaaka Gold carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This budget-friendly scent can be a creamy, refreshing floral-fruity-musk that's easy to live with for everyday wear. But for some, it's a bit too generic, verging on hotel air freshener, so sample before committing - its divisive nature makes it an acquired taste.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its clean, fresh, and slightly creamy character makes it highly versatile for everyday wear, including the office and casual outings, leaning into its 'wearable' reputation. While some find its performance moderate, its generally unobtrusive nature keeps it from being too much for closer settings, though its lack of gravitas makes it less suited to formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shiyaaka Gold opens with a bright burst of bergamot, softened immediately by a creamy gardenia and a clean, almost powdery musk. As it settles, juicy pear and sweet peach emerge, blending seamlessly with the white florals. The dry down is a warm, enveloping cloud of amber and soft sandalwood, maintaining that underlying fresh, musky cleanness throughout.
