SHAGRA

I love all of the fragrances I own from this perfume house, including this one! It opens spicy and warm with amber underpinning the journey from beginning to finish. The amber also rounds out the floral notes to create a 3D experience. The finish is soft and a bit woody with a hint of smooth oud. This perfume is warm, romantic, and to my nose, feminine.

This bold and heavy fragrance opens with an assertive blend of saffron, anise, and cinnamon, reminiscent of fragrant potpourri or those soaps often found at World Market. A grand bouquet of jasmine and rose adds a blast of floral sweetness, while a powdery iris introduces a unique nuance. While undeniably captivating, this fragrance possesses a significant projection and should be applied with a light hand to avoid overwhelming those around you. This is a fragrance for the bold and confident individual who enjoys making a statement. It's best suited for evening wear or special occasions where its powerful presence can be fully appreciated. Although unisex, it definitely leans feminine.

the darkest spicy perfume i’ve yet to try, sometimes i’m scared to even wear it lol it almost feels like it weighs me down! heavy and aggressive initial alcohol smell, and the dry down smells a bit cheap :(

Trying to find something nice to say about this one. Opening notes have the teensiest spice but chocolate baby wipes is what I'm getting and it's the first time I've been compelled to shower a scent off barely within the drydown. Not bold and assertive but rather clingy, whiney and screeching for attention. The worst however was the sprayer which didnt but rather sputtered rancid blobs of pink brown oil everywhere. CANNOT PASS ON THIS ONE FAST ENOUGH but it follows me everywhere like a nasty little banshee. I swear I can still smell it after two showers.
