Classic-meets-modern, fresh aldehydes and oakmoss
DSH Perfumes Sharkskin is No. 9 in the Heirloom Elixir Series of releases that are generally only available for two months and then no longer thereafter (except for refills). Sharkskin was released in summer 2019—it’s a sparkly, fresh, soapy aldehydic floral calling to mind the playful iridescence of the fabric that inspires its name.
It’s primarily composed of citruses, aldehydes, and oakmoss accord, with a hint of ambergris and, though I do not particularly detect it, civet (the blend does not give me an animalic whiff at all). Sharkskin both has a modern unisex ease of wearing, a sort of fresh versatility, but also harkens back to more masculine, warm-weather-leaning classics of yesteryear. It has the classiness of Dior Eau Sauvage while some of the mystery of more niche compositions of today.
Its pricing was about the same as of most of the DSH catalogue, $145 for 60ml in EDP concentration, and like most of even the fresher DSH creations, it performs quite well. I like to wear it on warm weather days or around the house, as it’s very relaxing, but Sharkskin is really apt for anytime, and I love it. It’s one of my favorites in the DSH catalogue, probably my very favorite for the warmer weather that I’ve tried so far.
