What wearers say

“I have a tester from 2017 batch and a retail bottle from 2016 batch.. Is there any difference between both the batches as 2016 batch seems to be deeper than the 2017 batch and 2017 batch is kinda fresher?? Oil content also seems to be more in the 2016 batch. I just want to know if the bottles are authentic as these are bought from the community and not retail.”

“I read that the older batches were going bad so decided to check the open 300ml I have batch code (62ND0V5) from December 2016 still smells great. My back up from February that same year batch (38N21M) can’t be checked but it’s sealed and stored properly. Just wanted to say it is not effecting all batches. Performance is still beastly and smells fantastic 👍 still smell the aquatic DNA in the opening like the first time. To the smoky incense in the dry down.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I like this more than the original.The original feels boring.this one is more interesting.it's aquatic with spices dan woods.also the incense in more enjoyable in this fragrance because it gives depth for the freshness. (I usually don't like incense in fragrance because of it's bitterness).last incredibly long for the earlier batches.the lastest one is moderate.”

While Jazaab Silver maintains the aquatic-woody DNA, it projects slightly less intensity than the Armani original and develops a marginally warmer amber undertone in the dry-down. The longevity is respectable but falls shy of Profumo's exceptional 12+ hour wear.
