Shaghaf Oud

#Shaghaf_Oud from #SwissArabian fragrance house. This perfume is an EDP concentration. This perfume has a lot of reviews and love from the users so far. Mostly everyone who reviewed #SwissArabianPerfume house had mentioned shaghaf oud at some point. #Presentation: Gold bar kinda bottle with finger print magnet and not a high quality bottle yet decent for the price offered. This perfume stands for its juice more than the bottle as well. This looks similar to Scentstory 24 Gold. I havent seen it visually but the images kinda remind me of that. Nice squirter of juice and I have a 75ml bottle. #How_Did_I_Felt: This is a sweet oud. The smell of Rose, Saffron, Oud perfectly blended with the Vanilla. This scent is one of a kind. Amazing and gives a nice gourmandish heavy sweet rose feel the whole day. The transition from the top note to base for me its remains the same I guess. There is no much change after the top note. I feel it the same till the end. I felt like to eat myself smelling the vanilla. At first I thought this gonna smell like Mancera Roses Vanille with some oriental oud touch. But this is different with not a dominant rose notes alone instead the vanilla is amped up as well as the oud. #Performance: #Sillage/#Projection: Best to be said is Beast Mode. A head turner for gourmandish lovers. It can fill a room for sure. I used it in summer and yes I went with more sprays even after warning so I felt cloying after a while. #Longevity: No doubt... its a #Beast when it comes to Longevity. It stood for me around 10hrs and I didnt feel the olfactory fatigue that means it was pretty heavy as my nose easily goes blind after few hours if I sprayed a heavy fragrance. Go with limited sprays as I didnt sweat on that summer hear and mostly I was in Air conditioned room. Cant assure the heat and sweat mixed with that as it can boom a bomb. #Occassions: This is for casual evenings or night outs. Formal occasions or for business meets not a wise choice. #AgeGroup: Its unisex. Young bloods with mature minds can give a go but not too young people. Mid aged men and women can always have a go. #Compliments: It can fetch u compliments. I received one unsolicited. #versatility: The website advertise for summer and I used in summer as well but not everyone will love this oriental gourmandish kinda sweet and oud especially on a summer or spring. So winter and fall takes the go with this one. #PriceValue: Worth the penny. Its so affordable like 2000INR/115SAR. #Overall_rating: I can give for this fragrance is 9/10 if u dont love sweet or oud in summer. 10/10 for a daring sweet oud fragrance lover like myself. The review is totally on my personal experience with the fragrance. - Thank you.

When I first smelled this fragrance I truly didn’t know how I felt about it, it was just so different and so much stronger than anything I had ever smelled. I attribute this to the fact that I was only just beginning to start my collection and that my palette was very limited. I was also very clearly smelling a fall/winter perfume in the middle of the summer; this was before I understood how important the seasons were when smelling perfume. But as I’ve learned and grown I can confidently say that this perfume is worth all the love that it recieves. For the price, its projection and longevity is absolutely fantastic. You really only need 2-3 sprays of this if you're looking for a perfume that people will notice and have a nice spicy aroma around you (1 or 2 sprays more if you're looking to fill a room). This will stay on your skin for hours and it's one of those fragrances that you’ll smell on your clothes for days after. This is certainly not a light and airy perfume. I will say that it leans on the heavier side but some of the notes give it a lift so it doesn’t feel like it's weighing you down like some gourmands tend to do. On Swiss Arabians website they cite Saffron and Oud as top notes. Although Oud is a through line in this fragrance that appears in the top, middle and base notes, when you first spray it and the fragrance is wet, you get an instant punch of saffron that fills your nose. When I first smelled it, it was like an attack on my senses. Once again I know now that this was because I had no experience with the power house that saffron truly is. Now as I smell it again for this review, I can appreciate how beautifully the saffron was done. As it dries down it mixes with the oud and gives it a warmth that really brings it back down to earth. They say that the middle notes are rose, praline and oud but honestly I don’t really get rose at all. I have a feeling that it may be getting lost in the saffron for me. But if that's the case, it works great in helping the saffron brighten up the fragrance. The praline mixes with the vanilla in the base to give the dry down a certain spicy creamy sweetness. For me the Praline gives a slight nuttiness that mixes with the warmth of the oud and rounds out the whole perfume. I’ve really come to enjoy this perfume but for my personal tastes, I don't often wear it on its own. I’m more of a smokey ambery person myself but I’ve found that it pairs beautifully with my other scents (with Shaghaf oud being the star of the show). Although I have to wear it more in order to really decide if I want to repurchase I will treasure, love, use and abuse the bottle I have now. <3 (swiss arabian please make better bottles though i'm BEGGING)

Scent: Wonderful, wonderful Scent. This fragrance is lovely and very good! The fragrance starts off with a blast of that praline and oud. The oud here, at least to me, is not very potent, but subtle. The praline and vanilla will definitely overpower the oud. Keep in mind that it might be different for you. After this, the vanilla starts to emerge and you'll get this creamy and smooth vanilla. The vanilla does not smell synthetic to me, but natural. The scent is great, but if you don't like sweet fragrances, then this is not for you. To me, the scent also has this "bubblegum" vibe to it. It kinda reminds me of Juicy Fruit gum at times lol. Anyhow, lovely fragrance! One of the best fragrances in my collection. Performance: Ok, so when it comes to performance this fragrance is Beast Mode. When I say 'Beast Mode', I definitely mean Beast Mode! This fragrance filled up my room in no time and it kept filling it for more than an hour. After that it still kept pushing for another few hours. So the projection on this is definitely Room filling. The sillage on this is also pretty dense and you will definitely smell yourself as you walk. I applied the scent a few times on both wrists, and as I walked I kept smelling the scent in the air even after a few hours of application. When it comes to Longevity this is definitely 12hrs+. One of the few fragrances I have that actually keeps giving me whiffs close to the 12th hour mark. Very, very, very good performance. Please do not overspray this, because it's very, very loud for the first hour or two. I have a 10/22 Batch, so I don't know about the performance of newer batches. Seasons: Definitely not a summer or even late spring scent. Maybe early spring at night if you spray lightly. But this scent is for late fall and winter. It does have the performance to survive cold nights and days.

As soon as I walked into this shop, I thought I heard someone calling my name. Turns out, it was this fragrance. As I approaches Shaghaf Oud Swiss Arabian, it began to whisper to me in almost an angelic and godly voice. I picked up the bottle and immediately noticed the sophistication that wasn’t just put into the fragrance, but as well as the bottle. It gracefully caressed my hand and replenished my palms with the scent if utter holiness. You wake up in your favorite mega mansion with a beautiful woman or man by your side. You walk down the red and gold velvet stairs that take you down from your enormous silk sheeted bed and onto your silk carpet along with your heated floors. The hunger that follows with waking up strikes and your stomach forces you to stride to the kitchen to make yourself breakfast. However, you are too tired from the previous night to make it down the stairs, but then you remember your many maids who are both cleaning and cooking your favorite breakfast. You remember how amazing your life is as you delightedly saunter down your warm and silky steps. The vast window that accompanies this majestic staircase shows the most beautiful sunrise you have ever gazed upon. With colors of a warm and vibrant magenta complemented by the glow of pink that strides across the sky and through the clouds just over that one distant mountain that has no detail to the eye besides the outline it creates. You then arrive upon breakfast and donate millions of dollars to well respected and crafted charities that make lives better. You are the happiest person alive with endless potential and freedom. This is Shaghaf Oud Swiss Arabian.

This is everything I wanted Rebecca Minkoff to be. I have a purse spray of that, which also reminds me of BR Tonka and Tobacco, and I decided I love tonka and tobacco notes, like a sweet but sultry smell. Not for the weak of heart, a scent that women find sexy on other women. The Minkoff is more complex than BR but to me barely noticeable and fades quickly. I resigned to finish it and move on. This, this is the notes I love with more personality. This has a chill to it like the feeling of standing at the edge of a bonfire and feeling the night on your back. Like going to a cozy place in late fall, when you still feel the cold on your ears and fingers minutes after you've come inside. The rose is romantic, it reminds me of the lingerings of Cacheral Amor Amor. A little hard rubber/gasoline and earthiness on the top note, like the smell of a car outside. I thought I did not like oud because I had only smelled it in men's fragrance but in this it is weaving in and out of the sweet praline vanilla (giving me my tonka type of scent I love). The oud leans metallic but not in a manly way, although this could easily be unisex for any man who feels comfortable with the praline. I am femme in style and I normally don't love unisex unless its a jeans and tshirt day, but this makes me want to do big sexy curls in my hair and lipstick. If your Venus is in Leo and you love mysterious, oriental gourmands, give this a try.

This is my very first oud. I was always afraid of oud because I couldn't get a handle of what it would be like. I expected that it would be overly masculine or incense-heavy. I am still having a hard time describing this fragrance, but I do like it. I like it a lot. Here are my impressions (and I am not educated in perfumes or notes): - It's not super-sweet to my nose, but that might be because I wasn't expecting any sweetness. - It comes off soft & femme, but also VERY unisex friendly. - Because I'm ignorant about it, I don't know if that is what I am smelling predominantly or if it is the praline. To me, it smells more of praline. - I'm not very familar with saffron scents but, under the predominant scent, I am getting more vanilla than rose, for sure. I know the rose (or something floral) is there, but it doesn't interfere (?) - This scent is one for someone like me - my skin "eats" perfume & I have to work hard at getting longevity. I don't think that is going to be a problem here. - I layered this with a spritz of Junoon and, yep, that pairing is nice. Wow. Now I feel like I can explore more oud fragrances. I just got this today so I will probably need to do an update, but I am SO happy I risked the blind buy!

allow me to preface this by saying, when its cheap & has any bad reviews it definitely compounds the doubt when contemplating blind buying..but as i've learned through the years..listening to pple will have u miss out on good experiences so my intrigue got the better of me & I took the plunge..although $30 hardly constitutes a "plunge" more like a belly-flop in the kiddie pool..but u get my point. SOME PEOPLE COULD NEVER BE SATISFIED..what do u want longevity?? its been on my jacket for 3 days & counting..projection? its filled my entrance area where its hung for 2 days to the point i thought I had a Glade plug-in installed..scent? initially, I had the its familiar but couldn't quite put my finger on it disposition..but then it came to me Oud Satin Mood combined with Nestle chocolate powder the type from back in the day that came in the can used to make chocolate milk. The friendly oud, the non-overpowering rose, the playful chocolate has become somewhat of an addiction for me, when do I not spray this stuff!? Feels exactly like that commercial for Franks Red Hot sauce " i put that **** on everything"

This fragrance is lovely, and royal for sure. Absolutely eternal, and truly only for cold weather. The juice is extremely dense, rich, and refined. It's a combination of resinous woods with a dark rose to my nose. It hints at oud for sure, and that dark nature of it makes this unisex to me. This is my first rose scent, and it definetly is appealing ( I don't really gravitate towards it). Since my lady likes rose a lot, I wanted one scent we could share. The scent does not really change in my opinion. I sense all the same notes throughtout the duration. I feel like a prestigious prince when I wear this. I can see this being challenging to some Americans because it does have a distinctive arabic aroma to it. The scent is fairly "soft" overall and can't really offend people unless you overspray (4 sprays is a lot). Bottle is elegant and fancy as well. Only problem is it's solid, so you have to guess on your remaining amount. For the price? A MUST buy if any of the notes sound appealing to you.

I own both this and the real Oud Bouquet. Yes, this is absolutely an Oud Bouquet clone, and yes, this is a very well made one. It'd be a lie to say they're in the same league though. Oud Bouquet has a much, much higher quality. Which of course makes sense considering the massive price gap. Oud Bouquet feels smooth through the opening to the dry down, it feels perfectly blended and definitely niche. This feels like they took Oud Bouquet and replaced the real rose and the real oud with cheap synthetic ingredients. The first 30 mins are worst when comparing both, this is synthetic and agressive. But after 30 minutes it smoothes out and they get closer. I'd say they're 90% similar on smell alone, 80% similar when you start smelling side by side and realize the quality differences. Absolutely worth owning if you like that DNA, so you can wear this a lot and wear Oud Bouquet only for special occasions. Very good performance as well !

Shaghaf Oud is your basic, beautiful, cold, sweet, traditional rose oud fragrance. Built around classic mukhallat notes, it has that Middle Eastern character, but made to be mass-appealing. It has added sweetness from vanilla and praline. The strong jammy rose is the main star of the show here. The oud is in the background, supporting the rose. It's a classy oud, smooth, resinous, muted, not too animalic and is more sweet‐woody than smoky, making it approachable even for people who don’t usually wear oud. Performance is strong: excellent longevity and projection, especially in cooler weather. This is not a subtle fragrance - it’s designed to be noticed, and it absolutely is. If you enjoy simple, yet classy and elevated, sexy, sweet rose ouds, Shaghaf Oud delivers a luxurious, crowd‐pleasing experience. Whilst basic in composition, the agarwood used here is nice and elevates the fragrance. It is a must have fragrance for me.

Yes, it's an almost perfect dupe of Oud Bouquet, amped up on the warm chocolatey side while OB is more rosey and perhaps more elegant. You must like gourmands to wear this one, and you must love loud, beast mode frags (i do). This is not for the shy ones, it will get you noticed anywhere, so beware. I wouldn't call this particularly elegant or classy (there are chypres or irises for that purpose) but I do call it sexy and comforting, in a perhaps cheeky way, buy it makes you feel like a million dollars. Absolutely perfect for cold nights out (or in) and important occasions, please do not wear this in hot temperatures unless you need to clear a room...... it can be super cloying to others in the heat, while your nose gets only whiffs of an adorable praline oud with a hint of caramel and roses. Very comforting and giving you a 100% self assured mood. Lasts forever and a day. Compliments getter. Guaranteed.

I used to own a bottle of oud bouquet but I had to declutter it because I had a really weird/bad sinus reaction to it whenever I wore it (after wearing it for a few hours it would start to feel like I developed a sinus infection and it would take about 2 days to go back to normal) and I am happy to report that this smells basically the same without giving me that terrible reaction! Performance is not as good as oud bouquet but it still outperforms most of my designer perfumes, and its also a new bottle so if may get stronger over time. So happy to have this scent in my collection in a form that is actually wearable to me. This is a very sweet perfume, I pick up the most on the praline and vanilla followed by a jammy rose, and while I do pick up on the oud for the entire wear its a very tolerable woody type of oud that keeps the fragrance from being overly cloying.

I am obsessed with the dry down on clothes! The most beautiful vanilla. This perfume is very comforting, while strong, the spices are muted and smoky, I think grounded by a powdery rose. Then this shifts and you get this fantastic sweetness and vanilla that comes out of nowhere - how does it go from A to B like that? It’s almost forgetful of the oud at the very end (I mean hours and hours after first spray) - just pure, sweet creamy baking vanilla. There’s a rougher, more masculine note somewhere in the middle notes of this that makes it not too simpering sweet, more complex and that’s why I think other reviewers say it feels unisex. It will last on your clothes forever. This perfume feels made for me! It’s sexy, earthy, femme, sweet but not innocent, and perfect for winter nights in clubs and restaurants. No headache, just bliss

Finally getting around to reviewing this beauty as I've been wearing it quite a bit the past few weeks. I picked it up in 2023 so it's had a few years of masceration now. I recall when it was newer, the blast in your face oud lasted longer. Now that sharp oud accord lasts maybe five minutes and then the fragrance melts into a warm, sweet, spicy, oudy hug. On my partner, the oud facet stays strong throughout the day but on me, the oud dies down quite a bit and turns more warm and sweet. This one definitely changes with skin chemistry and body temperature. While I recall this being a nuclear projecting fragrance when I first picked it up, it definitely leans more on the intimate side now. No huge projection, but it lasts for most of the day. I'm happy about this as I don't really like fragrances that blast folks.

This is a perfect example of an Arabian oud fragrance. To me it's a pretty serious clone of (the discontinued, but first-class fragrance) Resala by Arabian Oud. I understand that some say this may lean slightly femine but I look forward to wearing this stuff and to me, it's actually unisex. This is not a crowd-pleaser. But do you REALLY want to follow the crowd? I know little to nothing about the fragrance house, Swiss Arabian, but I DO know that they routinely crank out high quality fragrances, and I own about a half dozen or so. I really love this stuff (and its impressive brother, Arabian Azraq) after acquiring a taste for oud, my overall personal preference is now leaning more to Mideastern fragrances. Overall - 9.0 / 10

This is my first arabic fragrance ever. I got it for my birthday from my cousin a few years I go and every time I put it on, everybody knows that I am PRESENT. Absolute nuclear projection and eternal longevity, goes neck-to-neck with spongebob fragrance in that department. I went out clubbing one night with my friends and put Shaghaf Oud on. It was 9pm when I left the house. My friends were complimenting me every half an hour. I came back home from the club at 5am and woke up at 12pm for lunch. I went into the kitchen and my mom was like:"Why did you put on a parfum for lunch at home?" and the best thing is I DIDN'T! That is 17 hours longevity and beast mode projection. Where else can you find it for 20-30 bucks/euros?

Shaghaf by Swiss Arabian is not just any ordinary fragrance; it truly is a beast of a scent that commands attention and admiration. Despite being remarkably affordable, it offers an astonishingly high-quality fragrance experience that rivals much more expensive brands. One of its standout features is its impressive longevity, allowing the wearer to enjoy its captivating aroma throughout the day without needing to reapply. I am utterly enamored with this perfume, as it complements my personal style perfectly. Furthermore, my significant other is equally fond of it and often compliments how wonderful it smells on me, which adds an extra layer of enjoyment and satisfaction when wearing this exceptional scent.

Oh I’m so mad at these mixed reviews which made me hesitate to buy this for so long. Finally bit the bullet and blind bought, and thank goodness!!! Shaghaf Oud and I were meant to be together. Call me crazy but this to me is much better than Oud Bouquet (OB to me was fully meh- another reason why I waited so long to try this one as everyone says they’re so similar). This is a proper oud gourmand 😍. Although it has rose, I would not classify this as a rose-oud. If you’re looking for a rose oud, go for Sehr Al Sheila. This is a sweet, delicious, hazelnutty oud with excellent projection and performance. Very happy to add this to my collection. Leans slightly feminine but can work as unisex.

Blind bought Shaghaf oud, aswad and azraq, even though many warned against that (and I don't regret a thing). To my nose this has the most noticable oud to my nose compared to Aswad and Azraq. Projecion is good, not as overpowering as I feared. More of a marathon-projector, doesn't fill the room (on my skin) but stays around aaall day. This seems to stick to anything it touches and linger on forever! Be that a good or a bad thing :) What I get most is a sweeeet dense oudy-woody smell. There's something praline or caramel-like stuff in there, but it doesn't feel gourmand. If I reeaally try, I can pick up a jammy rose, but it doesn't feel like a rose-centric scent. I really like it tho!
