From your scent profile
Atelier Flou Shamsin opens on jasmine and narcissus before settling into a resinous, woody and powdery floral-oriental, made for women.
Skunky's take: Sleeps by day, goes out at night; very skunk of it.

Shamsin's longevity is moderate and its sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. It is classed as a women's fragrance.
Jasmine and narcissus come first; iris and rose carry the floral side into the heart, while frankincense, labdanum and cistus add a resinous, smoky depth. The base of musk, vanilla, patchouli and cedarwood leaves a sweet, powdery, woody finish. Amouage Fate Woman and Lancôme Attraction have a close profile.
