Swiss Arabian has lit the afterburner.... / With success!

Hello everyone,

1-2 weeks ago I got a bottle of Shaghaf Oud Elixir thanks to my friend and I would like to tell you something about it!
You don't really have to talk about it - yes it is similar, even very similar and if we are talking about numbers, then it is certainly 90% to 95% (loose), there are no real noticeable differences - it is pure subtleties / nuances (a little more of it, a little less of it = something like that).

What you do notice is an increase in power and please don't get me wrong (!) , the normal Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum was already very very good and deserved a 9 - 9.5 each in the H/S, but here the creators have completely "escalated"!

For roughly 70€ (with the performance only) it is probably the strongest fragrance there is in this price segment! (Rose + oud + praline = a pure oriental gourmand powerhouse! )

Do you need it?

It's not unexciting and as far as I know it's limited!

Do you (necessarily) need it if you already have the normal one?
Rather no! Unless you sell the normal one after the test! Because whether you now have a fragrance that lasts 13 hours or 20 hours or more (it's still crass). Decide for yourself, it really impressed me!
Maybe we have an upcoming star here....., I wouldn't be surprised!

If I really wasn't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you! (At least for a test)

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

The older brother who wants nothing to do with his little brother!

As I am a huge fan of Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum, I had to order a bottle of the new Shaghaf Oud Elixir as soon as I heard about the new release. After waiting for a while until there was finally an offer in the souk for a bottling, my 5 ml bottling was now in front of me. I hadn't been as excited about a fragrance as this one for a long time.
So cap off, *spray* *spray*. *Spray* ... BOAH.

After the very first spray, my entire apartment was flooded with the familiar DNA of Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum. Anyone who rates the sillage of this fragrance below a 9.0 would do well to consult an ENT doctor.
It is a similar story with the longevity. As with its predecessor Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum, this is very good, but even better in this case due to the higher concentration of fragrance oils.

So far so good, now we come to the most important point. And that is the fragrance.
Let's keep it short. I find the predecessor (unfortunately?) much better.
The DNA of its predecessor is not as clearly recognizable as I had imagined.
It's only after a while that the characteristics of the younger brother also become apparent in the older brother. In the first half hour, the two fragrances don't have much in common; the new Shaghaf Oud Elixir could even pass as a separate fragrance in the Shaghaf Oud range from Swiss Arabian during this period. The elixir is therefore very different from its predecessor, although the basic DNA becomes more present after a while.

I would describe the fragrance as follows:

Take the predecessor Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum, and throw in twice the amount of oud. Unfortunately, this is a very synthetic oud, which remains very synthetic and even slightly pungent at times throughout the entire fragrance. We also throw in double the amount of chocolate, but this time dark chocolate!
The rose remains the same in terms of concentration, but becomes slightly more floral in the course of the fragrance than its predecessor.
The rest is not noticeably changed.

All in all, I am rather disappointed with the new release due to the very present synthetic oud, as it makes the fragrance, which always seemed so high-quality, appear very cheap. However, I am a huge fan of the new chocolate, which comes across as a very dark chocolate as described above!

Unfortunately, the fragrance doesn't convince me to buy the full bottle.
However, I will still really enjoy walking the streets
with my 5 ml bottling (and especially the closed rooms!) to make unsafe.

Cheers!
(By the way, the bottle is already available on the Swissarabian.eu homepage for just under 70€ free shipping. But not on swissarabian.com!)

Just "no comparison" to the original - much more mature!

The Shaghaf Oud Elixir is a new, independent Shaghaf Oud and has only rudimentarily to do with the original. unfortunately they are drooling again that they are bringing out a flanker that they call Elixir.
I would say it could have been called something completely different; Intense or whatever. But it wouldn't have done the fragrance justice. This is more of an oudy, darker fragrance that starts off completely differently in the opening. The saffron is more prominent and while the original had more praline, rose and sweetness, here we have a more oud-heavy fragrance that suddenly explodes after about 10 to 20 seconds. And the oud remains dominant. I find the oud used here better than in the original.
The Elixir is more of an amber oud fragrance. I am also of the opinion that the Elixir is more for experienced oud noses, newcomers to oud may be disappointed.
Longevity is around 8 to 9 hours and is for me the more "grown-up version" of the Shaghaf Oud!
Will definitely be a hit - like its predecessor! Absolutely recommendable! I bought the Elixir on the Swiss Arabian EU site and it was delivered to me within two days!
