The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Lemon verbena, bergamot and mandarin open the perfume. FragranceGems describes the citrus oils as sharp and sparkling and the verbena as slightly spiced. The start is meant to feel refreshing and energetic, a clear signal for whether you like this house's fresh side.
The heart combines a green accord, neroli, orange blossom and geranium. The description sets the sunny, honeyed nuances of the blossoms against the crisp green accord and the rosy geranium. It sounds layered, and the green part is what stops it from becoming sweet.
Musk, ambroxan, sandalwood and vetiver form the base. The description calls it solid, modern and molecular, with dry, earthy vetiver and creamy sandalwood. Ambroxan gives a clean glow, and the sensual musk is what you will notice on your sleeve afterwards.
Testing it
Wear one spray on bare skin on an ordinary working day, since daily use, work and sport are all tagged. Note the verbena in the first minutes, the orange blossom after a while and the dry vetiver later on. Because all four seasons are listed, try it on a cooler day too before you decide.
It is listed for men, as moderate, for daily wear, work and sport at any time of year. It suits people who want a fresh citrus-and-flower perfume that finishes dry and clean instead of sweet. If you like heavy, warm perfumes, this will feel lighter than you expect.
Fresh perfumes with a green heart are easy to like in a shop and harder to judge once the first minutes are over. A 10 ml decant lets you live with Shiyaaka Sky through several ordinary days before you look at the 100 ml bottle FragranceGems also sells.

Summer is listed, but so are spring, autumn and winter. A decant lets you see how the fresh citrus and green accord behave in cool weather.
The description mentions honeyed nuances in the blossoms, but the green accord and dry vetiver balance them. How that comes across depends on your skin.
No, it is not an official brand sample: the vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and carries our own label, and there is no involvement from Khadlaj.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
