Shaghaf Oud Abyad
feminine
Shaghaf Oud Abyad by Swiss Arabian is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Top notes are Oregano, Pimento Seeds and Bergamot; middle notes are Myrrh, Opoponax, Olibanum, Amber and Citruses; base notes are Smoke, Agarwood (Oud), Leather, Sandalwood and Patchouli. "Shaghaf Oud Abyad is a spicy balsamic fragrance that encapsulates passion and virtue. It opens with wide-awake top notes of piquant pepper, zesty bergamot and fresh oregano. This invigorating start leads into a rich, resinous territory at the heart of the scent. With smoky incense, silky amber and the leathery floral notes of labdanum, your fragrant journey is gently led by precious myrrh into the deep and long-lasting finale. This is the signature that you leave behind: an enticing accord of sandalwood, earthy patchouli and leather, topped with a golden crown of cherished oud. Shaghaf Oud Abyad is a unisex fragrance from Swiss Arabian. It is perfect for cooler nights. This is the moment. This is the passion. This is the scent." - a note from the brand.
