Shaghaf Oud

Shaghaf Oud belongs to the Swiss Arabian catalogue and comes as an Eau de Parfum. Its name combines an Arabic word, “Shaghaf,” which translates as “passion,” with that of oud, a raw material that appears from the opening of the composition and gives it its title.

The bottle of Shaghaf Oud is offered in a size of 75 ml. The Eau de Parfum by Swiss Arabian builds its composition around oud and saffron.

Opening

Saffron immediately brings spicy tonalities, with nuances of leather and tar that give depth to the opening. Alongside it, oud sounds a dark wood note, crossed with accents of incense and an animalic facet, characteristic of this resin drawn from aquilaria.

Heart

Rose appears warm here, leaning toward honey and wax, far from a fresh and green flower. Incense extends this waxy texture by adding a camphoraceous touch and spicy flashes that echo the saffron of the opening.

Base

Vanilla brings a sugary sweetness heightened by spice and warmth. Praline evokes toasted sugar, almond and hazelnut, while musk brings a woody, animalic and warm material that gives structure to the gourmand whole.

Oriental family

Classified as oriental, the composition brings together the markers of this family: resins and precious woods with oud and incense, spice with saffron, amber sweetness with vanilla and praline, animalic warmth with musk. The honeyed rose fits within this tradition of oriental roses.
