What does Shah smell like?
The top holds milk, ginger, whisky, lemon and davana, where lemon and ginger give a slightly sharp start and milk softens it. Cypriol, gaiac wood and rose lead the heart, while vanilla, amber, musk and ambrette dominate the base. The overall impression is sweet, spicy, woody and creamy, with floral and oriental touches.
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though the votes are few, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It suits anyone, man or woman, who wants a rich, full-bodied scent. Nicheend Black Hole and Attar al Has My Magic have a close profile.
