What does Shagya smell like?

Pink pepper and bergamot give the top a bright, spicy start. In the heart, geranium adds a green, floral note while oud brings a resinous, smoky depth. In the base, papyrus and musk settle it onto a dry, woody, soft ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind. Leisure, business and evening wear are spread fairly evenly. Nearly half of voters find it masculine. Arabian Oud Al Fareed and Hima Jomo Lhasa Rose 1924 have a close profile.
