Shaghaf Women

Tart APPLE & PRALINE Summer Gourmand. Opens with a fruity-citrus burst of lemon-lime, that transitions into an apple-praline heart rounded out by peony, all resting on a musky cedar base. When I first smelt this it read as a tart pineapple scent, but now I get an apple-praline scent. With average or slightly above average performance, this could be worn year-round, but ideally a spring-summer wearing experience. Reminders for me of Nina Nina Ricci & To Be Woman Police. Contrast to Nina Nina Ricci: Shaghaf Women is inspired by Nina NR, but they're not identical. SW is a little more tart, while Nina NR reads more clearly as an apple scent, with roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to To Be Woman Police: This is another scent inspired by Nina NR, but not identical. TBWP reads more clearly as an apple scent than SW, but all three get more and more similar as they drydown. Roughly equivalent performance. Overall: Slightly above average performance with a beautiful fresh, sweet & tart scent, this is a perfect scent for a summer gourmand. Enjoy! Update 06/02/24: Unfortunately this gets stronger over time to where the tart fruity notes are a little too piercing for me. I suggest testing an in-store bottle before buying. Good luck!

I don't understand why people don't like this. I love it! This was a very blind buy for me. I didn't even look up the notes. It was on clearance, so I just bought it. I have no regrets! Bright citrus opening. I know it's listed as peony but I smell a honeyed type of floral. It smells like the color pink to me. I spray it on my decolletage before bed and I can smell it when I wake up. It drys down to a slightly floral, slightly soapy skin scent after around 4 hours on the skin. It stays floral on my clothes for days. It's very feminine, classy, mature and smells expensive.

This is the perfect fruity and sweet summer scent! It opens fruity with sweet lemon, then I get the peony and a sweetness from the praline. The dry down is definitely musky but sweet and cozy. Many people complain about the performance and longevity of this fragrance, however I am happy it does not project too much since I can wear it on hot summer days. Regarding its longevity, it's actually one of the few perfumes I can still smell on myself after I wake up the next morning. Faintly, but still. I adore this fragrance, will repurchase for the summer forever for sure!

Such a beautiful scent! For me, one of the most beautiful and I have a lot of scents. 1/ I also consider it very underrated and 2/ I'm surprised that no one talks about the fact that it is very similar to Donna by Trussardi in the beginning. Which is also my very favorite, but I'm sorry about its longevity. Shaghaf lasts longer, the scent changes more, all its phases including the drydown are really beautiful. I've been wearing it for seven hours and I can still smell it nicely, so the longevity is good.

Crisp, light, slightly sweet and juicy fragrance. Lovely for summer work-from-home situations as it's not heavy or cloying. I do not choke myself or co-worker (husband with sensitive nose!) out even in 30+ degree C temperatures. I enjoy this one, and it's great value for money.
