Shaghaf Oud Marine by Swiss Arabian is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with marine accord, bergamot and black pepper, moves into geranium and dries down to cypriol, akigalawood, amber and oud. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
