Dehn El Ood Shaheen: A Harmonious Symphony of Oud and Leather
In my first review on Parfumo, I dedicate myself to the fascinating Dehn el Ood Shaheen oil from Swiss Arabian. My journey through the world of niche perfumes has led me to a discovery: Oud, a fragrance note that increasingly captivates and enchants me.
Through extensive research in the forum about Oud, I repeatedly came across the oils from Swiss Arabian. This led me to the conviction that Dehn el Ood Shaheen should be the next logical step on my olfactory journey. Although it is not a pure Oud oil, it offers a scent experience that is both affordable and does not represent a significant loss if one does not like it. Additionally, the bottle, with its aesthetic design, is almost a decorative work of art that looks great on any shelf.
When applying the oil to the skin, a subtle, slightly animalistic note unfolds, which, however, is not as intense as in the usual plantation Oud-containing spray perfumes like "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" or "Amoral | pernoire." This note dissipates after a few minutes, leaving behind a warm, leathery, and woody scent. The dominant impression for me is that of old, earthy leather enveloping an antique wooden box. Surprisingly, the fragrance leans more towards leather than I had expected.
However, the sillage did not fully convince me during the cool winter months. Even with generous application, the oil was only perceptible to me and others when one got very close to the treated skin areas. The longevity is also not comparable to the previously mentioned perfumes; after about 4-5 hours, I could no longer perceive the oil on my skin.
Nevertheless, the oil is worth a blind purchase for me solely because of its beautiful bottle. My Oud journey will continue with oils from Ensar Oud, from which I hope to achieve a stronger sillage and longer longevity due to their purity.
