Dehn el Oud Shaheen

Dehn el Ood Shaheen

Swiss Arabian 2019

This fragrance is, as described in other reviews, indeed very similar to its brother. At first glance, I would say that the distinct animalic notes (goaty, floral, slightly cheesy) and the weaker leather scent make the difference. However, the perfume is kept a bit simpler, as I could hardly detect any change in the scent. Here, too, I noticed a sandalwood smell and something spicy or medicinal (slightly menthol). The scent note of "damp wood," like in Oud Assam by Maison Anthony Marim, is immediately noticeable here, dominating until the drydown. Unfortunately, the fragrance has only mediocre sillage on me and lasts only half a day. Since the oil is quite thick, one should be careful when applying it on clothing to avoid visible stains.
