Pleasant rose oud fragrance with beast fashion factor

I must confess that I am attracted to strong, loud, striking and room-filling fragrances. However, these should not come from Douglas and the like, but rather be Arabic brands/fragrances so as not to smell like the masses. In the best case scenario, my fellow human beings should notice me before I even enter a room :-) To do justice to these attributes, I came across Shagaf Oud and wanted to give it a try. My aversion to rose put me off at first. For the price, however, you can risk a blind buy, especially as Shagaf Oud is spoken of in the highest terms on Parfumo and YouTube.

After spraying it on and panicking about the rose scent, I was pleasantly surprised.
The fragrance is sweet and oriental with a good dash of oud. After spraying it on, I notice the saffron, which is also sweet and warm. Oud also dominates this fragrance from the start, but in a beautiful and pleasant way, conjuring up an oriental twist. I can also smell the rose very early on, which fortunately is not so overpowering and contributes a warm, delicate and pleasant fragrance. The praline adds chocolaty sweet vibes. The vanilla rounds off the whole thing on a pleasantly sweet note. All the fragrance notes are perfectly coordinated and do their job perfectly. It is an olfactory revelation that transports me into a world of exotic and oriental aromas and pampers my senses to the full.

Shagaf Oud is marketed as a unisex fragrance. The fragrance is probably preferred by many perfumers for colder days, as it is sweet and oriental.

I can particularly recommend this fragrance for club visits and dates. It is guaranteed to attract attention and will drown out all other fragrances in any crowd, depending on how much you spray. But it can also be worn in a private setting without any problems. I wouldn't recommend it for business occasions, as many business partners tend to be conservative and don't like room-filling fragrances.

The durability and sillage is MEGA!!! After 5 sprays on my neck and clothes, I was sniffed out in other aisles in the Metro wholesale store, for example, where I had previously walked along. The projection is also very satisfactory. Customers walked past me with their shopping carts at least 2 meters away and looked around for the source of this scent, who was projecting so strongly. :-) The sillage easily lasts a whole day. If you spray it on in the morning, you will always have the scent of Shagaf Oud in your nose every time you move in the evening/night. You get the feeling that the sillage never ends. This is also one of the top performers in my collection.

Conclusion: A loud, eye-catching, sweet and oriental rose oud fragrance that is more pleasant than the ingredients suggest. If you want to stand out and like room-filling fragrances, you should go for it or at least give it a try. The interplay of the fragrance nuances, the price, the performance and the durability make this a very good EdP.
