A beautifully crafted oriental fragrance
Many thanks to Yannis for the bottling of Arqa Shay :-) This is a really beautiful, gourmand and oriental fragrance. I have also been asked about the fragrance a few times. The longevity is strong at around 12 hours and the sillage is also very successful so far.

The top note starts dark, sweet, gourmand and oriental. Thanks to labdanum, it initially smells honey-like and balsamic without being overloaded and drifting towards prunes. This is followed by a beautiful incense aroma with a hint of licorice. The heart note remains sweet with lots of bourbon vanilla, resin and a fine leatheriness. The base offers a pleasant and woody oud note. It also continues to smell sweet, vanilla, creamy and balsamic with amber, tonka beans and a hint of tobacco.

A certain similarity to Grand Soir cannot be denied here. I really like this wintry oriental fragrance.

The evil brother of MFK Grand Soir
.... That was the first thing that came to mind when I smelled this fragrance.
It is also a great, warm amber fragrance.
The difference, however, is that the labdanum and the oud accord in Arqa Shay create such a dark depth that you can lose yourself in the fragrance.

There is not much change during the course of the fragrance. But that's a good thing, because the AS is a dark beast that envelops you with its dark, resinous aura.

For me, it fits wonderfully into the dark, long winter nights.

The oud is not a mock-wood in this fragrance, it gives it a certain depth and a very subtle woody note.
According to Anfasic Dakhoon, there is also quite a large amount of real oud in the fragrance.

All in all, a dreamy men's fragrance for the winter with an extremely strong longevity, a not too intrusive sillage, which nevertheless projects enough, and an ultimately unique fragrance composition.

If the GS - MFK is too good and too sweet for you and you are looking for something dark, dirty and resinous, this is the one for you.

Similar to Cartier Oud&Ambre
To get an overall idea of this fragrance, it resembles Oud&Ambre by Cartier.

However, despite their similarities, certain character traits are not the same. Arqa Shay opens with vanilla and spicy amber, with a hint of licorice that evaporates 5 minutes later.
This is followed by a smoky note (cistus), before finishing with a vanilla balsam base.

As you can see, this is a sweet, smoky amber, but not an artificially sweet one! No, this sweet note reminds me of a dessert, more precisely an oriental pastry.
That's what this fragrance is all about: a naturally sweet oriental dessert that you'd eat in winter or during cold weather, so you'll smell delicious! Indeed, wearing this fragrance in summer can be stifling...

As for the juice, it has an oily appearance, and longevity is excellent! Between 8 and 10h on my skin

In short, a lovely fragrance to wear for your own pleasure and that of others.
