What Is Lattafa Pride Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold a Dupe Of?

What is Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold a clone of?

Lattafa Pride Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold is a clone of Rosendo Mateu Nº 5. If you've seen both names come up while looking for an amber and vanilla fragrance, that's the connection. The shared amber, vanilla and musk base is a good place to start, but Gold also brings caramel, saffron and leather into its listed profile.

Why Rosendo Mateu Nº 5?

Nº 5 carries the description “Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk,” which gives you a useful starting point. Its pyramid here lists spices and exotic floral notes, then carnation and lily-of-the-valley, with amber, vanilla and musk underneath.

Those last three notes also make up Gold's listed base. We'd look at that combination together when deciding whether this pairing interests you. A shared vanilla note alone wouldn't tell you much; the amber and musk are part of the comparison too.

What does Gold bring to the mix?

Gold lists caramel and saffron at the top, followed by suede, leather and tonka bean. That's quite a different set of labels from the flowers and spices in the Nº 5 pyramid. It gives you something more specific to consider than a bottle name or a claim that they're identical.

If you enjoy the idea of vanilla and amber with caramel and leather, Gold is worth a sample. If it's the floral side of Nº 5 you care about most, pay attention to that when comparing them. Note lists aren't complete formulas, so an ingredient missing from one list doesn't prove it's absent from the fragrance.

Gold or Silver?

This guide covers Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold from Lattafa Pride. Ishq Al Shuyukh Silver is a separate fragrance, so check the full name when shopping. Our reference here is Rosendo Mateu Nº 5, rather than another numbered release from the brand.

Is it worth trying?

We'd put Gold on your sample list if that amber, vanilla and leather combination sounds appealing. Try it alongside Nº 5 if resemblance is your main reason for buying. The retailer cards show the available options; compare bottle sizes and packaging before choosing an offer.
