What does Shaghaf Oud (Concentrated Perfume Oil) smell like?

It opens on oud and saffron; in the heart, rose and praliné join the oud and the gourmand sweetness comes forward. Vanilla and oud sit at the base. Floral, creamy and resinous touches soften a woody, smoky oriental core.

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits those who like a rich, heavy scent, and it reads equally well on men and women. Taif Al-Emarat Violet Oud and Arabian Oud Resala have a close profile.
