Arqa Shay

Anfasic Dokhoon

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Anfasic Dokhoon Arqa Shay is a unisex fragrance that pairs a sweet, gourmand character with a smoky, resinous and woody base. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as very strong, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It is dense and assertive, and reads as suitable on both men and women. Labdanum opens it, vanilla sits in the heart, and amber and oud form the base. The vanilla brings the sweetness and creamy texture, spicy and leathery touches sharpen it, and an oriental warmth runs through the whole. Givenchy Ambre Tigré and Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud have a close profile.

Anfasic Dokhoon

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Anfasic Dokhoon Shay Oud is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance led by frankincense, honey and oud. It opens with frankincense and pepper, giving a resinous, spicy start. Honey and rose form the heart: the honey sweetens, while the rose adds a soft floral, fruity touch. Musk and oud take over in the base, setting a woody, earthy, leathery ground. The overall feel is oriental, with the sweetness balanced by smoky and resinous tones. Its profile is close to that of Montale Oud Edition and Lattafa Just Oud.
