What does Shaghaf smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

It opens with cardamom, ginger and citrus notes for a spicy lift. The heart turns smoky and leathery with cashmeran, leather, cedar and tobacco. The base settles into a creamy, resinous sweetness of patchouli, tolu balm, oud, vanilla and amber. Histoires de Parfums 1740 and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
