Opulent Shaik Classic No 33

GATEKEEP Y'ALL👀 Like I know it's wrong, but this fragrance will stand you all from the rest💁♀️It's like if vanilla could be a second skin. The way the warmth from the gentle sandalwood transforms on the skin after a few minutes🥵 but don't judge the powderiness at first spritz! The florals somehow enhance this natural sweet musk - I'd describe it as a buttery bouquet of goodness. This fragrance is truly mesmerizing. Also, the packaging and little note about history is creating a nice experience to wearing this perfume. You don't need a lot to notice its beauty. Very unisex and wearing it brings out this authenticity within one self. I've been wearing it as a night time fragrance - and somehow, I had one of the deepest sleeps ever with its hypnotizing aroma. However, if you dont like gatekeeping, at least get a tester - truly mind-blowing and worth the buck. Zodiac Trio ⬆️Taurus☀️Capricorn 🌜Aquarius

A beautiful perfume! Classy fresh powdery vanilla with spicy undertones. Complex and long lasting. I will buy this one again. My signature scent. I really love it.

its an amazing fragrance and believe me you can not compare it to burberys body as some one mentioned above maybe she got confused because she smelled both of them simultaneously..any way back to shaik it isa sweet mellow and ultra feminine fragrance that actually lasts until the next day yet its not over powering .it doesnt give you a headache.its very nice that's the least i can say from my humble point of view.it has a magical vibe to it and its not so oriental nor does it represent arabin taste in perfumery it has a more rounded international scent to it its cosmopolitan with a bit of lushness and richness,,it has vanilla musk and sandalwood mixed with soft flowers it turns powdery perfume rating 4.6 out of 5 bottle rating 4.2 out of 5 edp 50 ml i just sprayed it tody after 3 years i had it on a far shelf and i never reach to it..i usually spray it when i am out perfume smelling for it goes well with most of my blends and lasts forever.. i almost forgot how beautiful it smells its a truly unique perfume very stylish very feminine very sensuale ..mysterious ..smells like a heavenly medely of strange flowers or musks and vanila and some tropical unique notes its warm yet shere its bright yet comforting..something about it makes me want to cuddle every time i ware it its not too pungent or in your face its a skin scent and mellows down and blends in with you as one and develops beautifully not the normal baby powder but very fine sophisticated full of bliss..just use it within a year or 2 max from buying it it tends to change unlike other oriental dark jewels that get better with age..

(2005 edp version, from fb bottle) On me this opens as a spicy cloud of vanilla, heliotrope, and cashmere musk. I haven't quite put my finger on what's so spicy about it but I have to suppose it's a certain coriander mixing with tonka and cashmeran. It's a perfect blending of dry aromatic and powdery soft textures. It has something spicy (and ambery) in common with the vintage Tocade, now that I think of it, and also a sweetish baby powder talcum feel, especially from a distance. More toned down here though, to me it's definitely a HELIOTROPE and CORIANDER dominant scent, on me. After an hour or so the spicy top calms down and heliotrope rises even more. If you're a fan of Montales, think of this in a similar way you would their openings - spray it, go about your business, and come back in an hour or so. If you're a fan of cashmeran, heliotrope, or spiced, drier vanillas, this could be a huge hit! The longevity and the presentation are what justify the high prices here for sure. Also the transformation through the stages is fun. To make it less intense, I suggest spraying legs to let the wafts come to you! (Inner thighs/ankles work well with juuuust a touch to the wrists.)

Sweet, lovely, interesting, complex, intense, zesty and oriental. All these things fit Shaik classic no 33. I thought the bottle was amazing, but now I take a good look at the picture; it looks like an alien-mermaid! What? It didn't look like that in the shop... Anyway, the perfume is great, though I have to say it reminds me so much of another perfume! And I don't know which one it is... Am I utterly mistaking if I'm guessing 'Delices de Cartier'? It has some smooth fruity gourmandiness that delices the cartier has too. Like it a lot, could say I almost love it, but that pricetaaaaaggg! 40 ml, 270 euros! Guess most of the price goes to the bottle though... Anyhow, not likely I would ever buy it for so much, but it ís a good perfume. Really.
