Shaghaf Oud
Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2018 in the budget price tier. It opens with saffron and rose, moves into oud and praline and dries down to vanilla, amber and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
