Shaghaf Nectar Blush
Shaghaf Nectar Blush by Swiss Arabian is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with yuzu, pear, neroli, apple and blackcurrant, moves into gardenia, orange blossom, magnolia, cedarwood and watery notes and dries down to patchouli, tonka bean, musk, vanilla and peru balsam. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
