What does Shaghaf Oud Abyad smell like?

It opens with oregano, pepper and bergamot, so spice is clear from the first moment. In the heart, myrrh, labdanum, frankincense and amber add a resinous, sweet warmth. Patchouli, leather, sandalwood and oud form a woody, smoky, leathery base.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, while summer is a distant choice. Though unisex, about half of voters read it as masculine. Afnan Perfumes Supremacy Incense and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
