The king in the peasant dress
in the Middle Ages it was not unusual for the nobility to mingle unnoticed among the "simple folk". This happened for reasons of conviviality, opinion polls or to escape the court. To do this, however, even the finest of gentlemen had to disguise themselves, remove their pomp and slip into simple robes.

This metaphor always comes to mind when I think of Shaghaf Oud, which may not be as impressive as most niche perfumes in terms of price and presentation, but which does have "noble blood" inside.

I was allowed to sniff my way through a few rose-oud combinations in the niche sector but in the end the small, simple Shaghaf Oud was usually the most convincing fragrance composition for me. The perfume hits the skin with an almost brutal force. Houses like Dior, Prada or Chanel could learn a lot from silage and durability. I like to be the type of scent lover who has to exaggerate with his spraying and also likes to apply more than 5-8 sprays of his scents. (Often to the chagrin of my environment)
But even I have to slow down here. More than 2 sprayers and my environment is fogged in. Therefore my tip, be careful with the dosage. I have a few powerhouses in my collection, but I would definitely choose this one as one of my strongest, if not the strongest.

The fragrance itself is very pleasant to wear, despite its crisp appearance. The rose is very soft and vanilla. The character of the fragrance is quite linear, but that doesn't really bother me with this scent, because the gentle composition always has a calming effect on the nose. I see the fragrance more on a mature, self-confident woman, but nevertheless it is also absolutely wearable for men who can identify with the sweet powerhouse. For me the fragrance comes best in the deep winter. It accompanied me on many cold hikes or walks. The Sillage is with me about 7-9 hours, the shelf life is over 12 hours.

Finally, I would like to add that if the fragrance had been launched by Tom Ford, Parfums de Marly or Initio etc., no one would be able to complain about the quality.
For me, Shaghaf Oud is the niche fragrance from the "cheap assortment" that offers an incredible price-performance ratio.
That's probably why he can be called king of the cheapies.
Long live the king!
In the golden peasant dress!

An Arabian Midsummer Night's Dream
February 2020: I am standing at King's Cross station in London. A young woman with beautiful, long, dark hair walks past me. The wind blows her scent into my nose and I am stunned. An opulent, strong fragrance envelops my nose. I can't interpret the notes of the fragrance, but I'm immediately blown away. She looks like Princess Jasmine and disappears almost as fast as Aladdin on his flying carpet. I'm disappointed because I know that I can't ask her the name of this miracle of a fragrance now, but I can still perceive the notes in my nose.
A week later, still in London, I'm in a restaurant and see again an elegant lady, probably from the Middle East, wearing exactly the same fragrance. Again I fall for the charm of the scent within seconds. So I take my courage and ask her which perfume she is wearing, whereupon she answers that it is an oriental saffron scent. Unfortunately there are a lot of saffron scents and after months of searching I never thought I would find this treasure again.
A few days ago I decide to search again and find this scent. My hope that this is the Phantom from London is almost non-existent. By the quick sending of a nice member, I receive the bottling of the scent already two days later. I open the envelope and float in seventh heaven. My nose is numb again and I can hardly believe that I have found it. It is him. When I smell my wrist, I feel like Princess Jasmine herself. My own version of the fairy tale of the Arabian Nights.

Rose-Oud Fragrance
My first impression right after spraying is leather? or tobacco? with delicate cream and alcohol? A look at the fragrance pyramid says, no neither leather nor tobacco, nor alcohol, but saffron. That's how you can be fooled. It's supposed to be a rose oud scent. And it will be. Gradually the scent turns rosy, and it gets a light coating of wood and smoke. Delicate sweetness is also there and now again a hint of liqueur. This must be a filled chocolate then. As it progresses, wood and smoke push in front of the rose. But don't get the wrong impression, there's no bonfire here that rolls everything down, everything stays in a good frame. The vanilla I perceive as a delicate creamy note, it had probably already made itself at the start once shyly noticeable.

The fragrance is very durable: sprayed on last night, I still have a hint of woodsmoke on the back of my hand. That's a straight 10! The sillage I sort in the midfield, the fragrance slays at no time.

I am now not particularly rose oud fragrance experienced, but I would say, who is looking for a rose oud fragrance, should look here once.

Greeting + thanks to Pluto.

Niche fragrance at the Hofer Prize
I'm honest, I can't remember how Shaghaf Oud ended up on my watch list.
Maybe it was another evening where I sat in front of the computer until 2am and watched videos about some scents. Or maybe I read a blog entry and put it on my watch list. I really don't know anymore.

Anyway, he was now on my watch list and I ordered some bottlings, also from Shaghaf Oud.
But what I do know is that this scent took me completely by surprise. Positively, definitely. I just like this vanilla-ud combination, what can I say? It was sprayed on my left arm and Oud for Greatness on my right. So the two were in direct comparison. I asked five different people over the day which one they thought was better. Clear thing 5 to 0 for my left arm, for Shaghaf Oud. Did I expect that? Absolutely not. I'm still surprised at how good that smell is.
The durability is also quite a funny thing. 9.2 rating sounds like something. But it's not wrong there. 11 o'clock sprayed, 10 o'clock still smelled after the shower. Simply insanity!
Yesterday I carried him again and he was the first thing I smelled this morning
I also applied both fragrances (Oud for Greatness/Shaghaf Oud) to a friend of mine. He was blown away and ordered a bottle right that evening. Of course I ordered myself as well. Also the next morning I got a feedback from him, you can still smell the perfume!

Anyone who might like this fragrance should try it. I can only recommend it highly. Now I just have to find out who gave me the idea for this work of art (for a small thaler).

The price-performance monster
Moin people,
There are few fragrances that I count to the "non plus ultra spectrum" of the perfume world, however, this is a perfume that definitely belongs there.
Don't let the 7.9 rating fool you, even though it's not really bad. Still, an Orient lover will most likely not rate this fragrance below 8.5.
An absolutely elegant chocolate with present oud and a fine vanilla note. Really great! What makes this fragrance stand out once again is the monstrous longevity and sillage. Guys, I am someone who is into fragrances who wants an H/S of the vintage versions of Joop! Homme Eau de Toilette and Kouros Eau de Toilette and I know what fragrance bombs they were back then and still are for many and right here I can tell you YES! Finally a fragrance that can play in this league. At least 16 hours of longevity with sillage throughout.... fantastic. If you want to stand out, you can't go wrong with this fragrance. However, in my opinion, this fragrance can be worn by more reserved individuals due to its gentle scent profile. A unisex masterpiece with a H/S that is second to none. A must-have for this price!
Love greetings

Oriental rose scent. Unstoppable performance. Be careful with over spraying. You got to like the DNA, but for the price worth trying :)
