Khadlaj Empire Victor Eau de Parfum Spray for Unisex, 3.4 Ounce

This perfume lived up to the Tik Tok hype. It was a blind buy so I was a bit nervous about how it would smell and it did not disappoint. I was skeptical on first spray but after the dry down it smelled so soft, warm, and inviting. The notes as described on Fragrantica were : vanilla, citrus, caramel, powdery, sweet, musky, aromatic, white floral, and balsamic. On my skin I could definitely smell the first five notes hours later and that was just from a test spritz. The bottle has some weight to it and is beautiful just like this scent. It was secured safely in the packaging no cracks or leaking.

If you are a gourmand lover, this is for you! The fragrance is soft but also projects well at the same time. It is vanilla forward, but not like vanilla extract - more so a creamy and laconic vanilla. The jasmine adds a layer of elegance so that it doesn’t present as some type of cheap and synthetic fragrance. It reminds me of a vanilla latte without the coffee note.

So if you’re like me, you’re interested in this perfume because of all the TikTok’s. This, in my opinion is a very good safe blind buy. It is light vanilla and lemon perfume (with a hint of caramel and musk) as the notes imply. The initial spray you get a good initial dose of the lemon and then it dries down to a very soft, sweet vanilla on the skin. On the clothes the lemon lingers longer :) There is no harsh musky Middle Eastern incense notes at all in this. It’s truly a beautiful simple vanilla scent. I would say the longevity on my skin is maybe two hours three hours- but that was the first initial spray. It hasn’t had any time to macerate. You could layer this or use by itself. The bottle is gorgeous and heavy (very expensive feeling). I know smell is subjective but this is a 10 out of 10 for me! It’s a good value for the price.

I’ve tried a bunch of ME fragrances this year, with some good finds. Empire Victor is my favorite of the bunch, it reaches the balance between buttery lemon pound cake and real perfume. This never crosses into too sweet or too realistic of a gourmand- it still feels and smells like a fragrance. It is super comforting and I love wearing it to bed as I find it a relaxing scent. So far, it doesn’t last as long as I would like- but love it and will definitely repurchase. Beautiful bottle and quality atomizer as well!

If you’re craving a cozy, feminine vanilla scent that’s ready to enjoy right out of the box, Empire Victor is the one you’ve been waiting for. Unlike many Arabian fragrances that need time to macerate, this one is perfect from the first spray so it is easily one of my favorite middle eastern scents. It opens with a refreshing burst of bergamot and lemon, instantly uplifting your mood. As it settles, the heart reveals a warm, sweet caramel that blends beautifully with smooth vanilla. The dry down is pure cozy bliss. It’s not an excessively sweet sugary vanilla, but more of a cozy, soft embrace-think of a vanilla bean latte on a crisp afternoon, or the warmth of a soft sweater. I get tons of compliments when I wear it. As for longevity, it lasts about four hours on my skin and about six hours on my clothes, but at this price point, I don’t mind reapplying as needed, so I still consider it a good value for the money spent.For even more of a cozy, vanilla-forward experience, I layered it with EOS vanilla cashmere, Angham and Burberry Goddess-and I could not stop smelling myself all day and it was the perfect scent combo! If you love vanilla with a touch of sweetness, Empire Victor is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss!

First off, the bottle is stunning! It's giving Royalty. This fragrance smells to me like marshmallows, creamy vanilla with hints of powder, freshness & lemon. This scent is intoxicating. Great price too! Glad I purchased!

Smells nice and lasts. To me I smell milky coconut.

The media could not be loaded. DELICIOUS! Not the strongest scent but definitely lasts a good while on clothes. Smells like lemon cream pie with marshmallows and whipped cream. So good!
