SHAGHAF OUD:
Unfortunately my bottle was a little dented on a few sides and I received the English-font version, but you don’t have an option to choose.
Fragrantica & Reddit brought me here with tantalizing promises of gourmand and an oud for beginners. Longevity and beast-mode silliage that had notes of sweets intrigued me for MONTHS.
At first spray, the scent punches you in the face with a stingy, cold, medicinal and petrol-like layer. After it mellows, the notes mute down to a warm and powdery praline.
Awesome!
***This is a review for BOTH Shaghaf Oud and Oud Aswad (gold bottle, black bottle)***
Shaghaf Oud (gold bottle) is a perfect fragrance for women like myself who aren't into the fruity florals constantly being marketed to us. Smooth, rich, warm, and definitely gourmand, this is a beautiful addition to my accumulation of Arabian oud-based perfumes. I can't stop smelling myself when I wear this. The saffron opening and subtle oud in the background add depth and keep you from smelling completely like a bakery, but you WILL smell edible nonetheless. Apparently the sillage and projection aren't bad either, since strangers have walked up to me in stores and complimented me on it. As to longevity, I can wear this all day, jump in the pool for an hour, and still catch whiffs on my skin afterward.
Nice if you like this type of scents
Ok let me be honest here, if you are not into this type of scents do not blind buy. You need to be drawn to this style of scents to enjoy it and understand it. It is not a top of the line perfume, cologne, it’s an affordable fragrance that it is very good. First thing you will notice is that it is strong on the first spray but it will start to tone down after 10-20 minutes. You get a woodsy semi sweet floral scent with a touch of smokiness. Once it settles it becomes more dense and woodsy but still has some of the opening scents that are slowly fading. It can be a unisex scent but it leans more to the masculine side. Do not over spray 2-3 applications on preferred points should be more than enough to last the whole day. This type of scents are not your tommy, n谩utica, Ralph Lauren type of scents, these are very different. Dollar for dollar it’s worth it’s price $29 you can’t beat it.
Smells okay
Smells good. I was expecting more based on the reviews. As it dries down the smell gets better. Smokey and old ladyish as it wears out throughout the day. Everyone's scent pallet is different. It is a unisex scent, however, as a male, my lady friends say it smells more like a perfume. I like what I smell when I'm wearing it. As far as Arabian scents go, I'm all about the Al Harramain line of unisex parfums I don't think I will buy this Swiss Arabian again. If you're looking for really good Arabian type fragrances, try Al Harramain Amber Oud Tobacco and Al Harramain Amber Oud Gold. I get a lot of positive compliments with these.
Nice
I wouldn’t say this is my favorite fragrance ever, but it does smell quite nice after the dry down. The opening smells like BURNT TIRES AND PLASTIC. Then it dries down to a nice powdery, vanilla, rose scent. If you own Casablanca try layering this with that. Smells amazing together and will get your compliments.
Not the best
I saw a lot of videos on how good this smelled and maybe my nose just doesn’t think it’s all that. I don’t know… it smells good paired with another perfume but by it’s self, it smells like an old church lady.
Amazing scent with a caveat.
I love the scent!! It’s deep, resinous and loud! The sillage and projection is ENORMOUS! You can smell it from over 6 feet away, and is the longevity is 12+ hours on my skin. It’s high quality in general, even more so with the price. My friends said I smell like fruit loops (in a positive way). Lastly, the oud is VERY nice, smooth and not stanky or medicinal. This makes you feel very sexy and masculine.
Sophisticated
This perfume is like aristocracy in a bottle. With the initial scent of powdery roses it's dries down to a woody spicy scent. I usually layer it with my billie Eilish perfume to create the sweet undertone I appreciate. This is a very mature scent. I would recommend this perfume to anyone who appreciates smelling like high society. Lasting for hours, you only need one spritz to smell expensive for over 12 hours.
