However, its discontinuation has created significant frustration, with many unable to find satisfactory replacements despite trying numerous suggestions like Zoologist Musk Deer, Molton Brown Milk Musk, and Santa Maria Novella Muschio.

Chergui is a well-crafted but divisive fragrance with a distinctive powdery tobacco profile that appeals strongly to its admirers but isn't universally loved. The community consensus leans positive overall, though most agree it's not a safe blind buy given its niche character and high price point, recommending sampling first, especially if coming from different fragrance families like Ambre Sultan.
