Orchids don't always have to be deadly!
Hey guys, how are you? Yes, yes, my title here is a reference to the scent Black Orchid by Tom Ford, which I still find absolutely terrible after all these years, and I only think it's suitable for women to scare us guys away when they want to do something together without being bothered by men :D Because believe me, no man will dare to come near you with Black Orchid :DD
Anyway, I always think of Black Orchid when I read fragrance notes like orchids, something that is also in this scent here. So in Asa’d Shay by Anfasic Dokhoon, a brand that is completely unknown to me, but maybe some of you know it?!
So welcome to a comment on the category: “Fragrances that hardly anyone has sniffed!”
Since I don't know much about the scent, I won't ramble on this time and will just dive into the fragrance :)
Anyway, as I said, it smells quite floral sweet, and I believe there are other floral notes present, but I can't name them. Due to the sweetness, I occasionally think of jasmine, but it could also be that this impression comes from the combination of the floral scents with the musk, as musk also has a sweet scent.
Later, the scent remains floral sweet, with the floral part still coming across as quite opulent, which makes it seem more mature.
The base, as expected, is still very floral and sweet, although in the later base, the scent feels a bit more sultry and thus heavier.
As mentioned, the scent is also more mature due to the stronger flowers, which in my opinion makes it less suitable for younger girls. It can be worn in spring, autumn, and winter; it would certainly be too overwhelming for summer. I think it fits well for going out, or for the evening.
Oh, and even though the name “Shay” might sound like “Chai,” the scent has of course nothing to do with (chai) tea *sigh* :D
And somehow, that's about it. My comment turned out shorter this time because, as I said, I don't know the fragrance brand that well yet and nothing else comes to mind, but that proves to you that even I don't ramble on endlessly :D
So then, have a nice evening and see you next time :)

The scent:
The scent starts with an opulent and quite sweet floral note. This is probably the orchid, but I'm never sure about such things; however, it could very well be an orchid, as the floral note does remind me a bit of the “scent of death” Black Orchid by Tom Ford, with the difference that this scent here doesn't smell nearly as bad as the one that makes you want to run away from Tom Ford :DAnyway, as I said, it smells quite floral sweet, and I believe there are other floral notes present, but I can't name them.

The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is strong, so the scent radiates well for a while, making it quite noticeable even when someone is not standing close to you. Thus, the longevity is high, as the scent was still reasonably detectable on my skin even after ten hours, although with significantly lower sillage (but compared to other fragrances after such a time, still good). The bottle:
The bottle with the yellowish fragrance liquid is slightly inwardly curved at the lower sides and bulges out at the top. The name of the fragrance is engraved into the glass at the bottom, next to which the brand's logo is stuck in violet, looking like a mix of a flower and a butterfly. The upper part bears the brand name and is chrome-plated. On top sits the transparent cap. I find the bottle well-designed and beautiful. Conclusion:
Okay, you sniffers, that was Asa’d Shay, which fortunately isn't as extremely intense as Black Orchid. Despite the orchids or the strongly floral notes, this scent here doesn't smell bad at all, perhaps also because the combination of the sweet musk and the floral notes is quite successful. Sure, it could have been a bit less opulent, but that's just my personal feeling. As mentioned, the scent is also more mature due to the stronger flowers, which in my opinion makes it less suitable for younger girls.
