Oud Bouquet de Lancome at ridiculous price
Getting away from the designer perfumery is getting easier knowing this type of perfume. Perfumes of bestial quality and excellent performance, both in duration and in wake.

The output is a very intense and medicated saffron, over which light chocolate and woody halos revolve, but very subtle and deep, an authentic oriental beauty. Then, the saffron lowers in intensity, and a shy rose begins to emerge, at the beginning a dusty tinge, and then, slowly, it disappears and acquires very natural velvety nuances. This mixture of rose and saffron is adorned on a faint background of oud, very woody, medicated and creamy, with subtle reflections of chocolate vanilla and very controlled sweetness. Little by little, this background acquires prominence, and the rose diminishes in intensity, recreating the aroma of a light vaporous rose, which is submerged in a source of vanilla and praline, with a lovely woody and smoky undertone. I love this type of aromas, and in spite of the vanilla and the praline, you do not feel a cloying or heavy gourmand, in this aspect it is very well balanced. A beautiful Arabian perfume, a somewhat more gourmand interpretation of the typical Rosa-Oud combo, delicious.

This perfume I liked a lot, and from the first time I smelled it, I knew I had smelled it before. It smells like "Oud Bouquet" by Lancome, perhaps the perfume of Lancome is somewhat sweeter and a little more woody, but in general terms they are almost identical.

The performance of this perfume is great, exceeding 10 hours in skin, with a very marked wake, at least, the first 2 hours, then gradually lowers. A performance that we could catalog, in general, as magnificent.

The use of this perfume fits better in cold and temperate times, and of course, it is an aroma of nocturnal character, although, we could use it during the day, if the weather accompanies it. What we should avoid, is its use in hot climates, where excess heat could saturate a nose not used to this type of aromas Arabic and gourmand.

I recommend this perfume 100% to those people who enjoy oriental floral and woody with a gourmand touch. A perfume of ridiculous price, for everything it offers, quality of components and optimal performance, with an exact aroma to the very expensive "Oud Bouquet" of Lancome, and that should be in the collection of any good lover of perfumes.

Sorry for my bad english.

Beautiful, simply beautiful
I spent months with this fragrance on my wish list. Every time I was about to buy it, I ended up deciding on another, but it finally came to me.

Another one that has stolen my heart. It's a mysterious and captivating fragrance, the kind that makes me imagine a dark-eyed, dark-haired, Middle Eastern woman surrounded by a halo of mystery and deliciously scented.

Although the output is, as they say, spicy (it smells more like saffron to me, I don't perceive the synthetic aftertaste they say), the drydown is wonderful with a very bearable oud, accompanied by rose and the sweetness of vanilla and the praline.

A brutal duration, you're still sweating Shaghaf oud 15 hours after applying it, and a heavy sillage at first, but moderate after about 2 hours.

Beast mode!!
Comparing it to "Oud Bouquet" by Lancome. The rose is clearly more dominant in "Oud Bouquet". While "Shaghaf Oud" is much sweeter with more praline, however, no overtaking oud. I'd say "Oud Bouquet" is more elegant & floral all through. And Shaghaf Oud has much more of the praline & feels sweeter over all. And yes they are veeery similar. I have a decant of "Oud Bouquet", and decided on a bottle of "Shaghaf Oud". The far better price of it where I live made me buy it. Longevity/Sillage/Projection: Beast mode!!

My chrismas scent
It’s starts out a bit synthetic, sweet, warm and spicy, but when it dries down it turns into a beautiful vanilla, rose oud scent.
I get wiffs of it all day long and I can’t stop smelling myself. It sits like a cloud around me and it fills up a room, but still so warm and cozy, like a hug.
One of my favorite blind buys and i love it but i can only wear it in winter or i get nauseous. My perfect christmas scent.

P.S. I have the bottle with the Arabic writing on it!

5 stars across the board
Sprayed it around 8pm and still smelled it on me 12hrs later. Wow what a fragrance! The best part is the price which is just about $50. That is truly a bargain. It is an oud based scent with a heavy dose of saffron in the opening. It's mainly a linear scent which is fine because i love the smell. Swiss Arabian has been putting out quality products since 1974 so they've been around a while. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of this juice today.

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

Specially recommended to vanilla lovers. A Deep hint of vanilla and praliné which gives to the classical rose-oud a different character
