Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet legendary for its beastly performance, Shaghaf Oud is a nuclear-strength Arabian sweet oud. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent; if you get it, give it time to macerate and go easy on the sprays.
A budget take on Swiss Arabian's Shaghaf Oud, built on the same saffron-and-rose-over-oud signature with a sweet praline-vanilla drydown. It captures the cosy sweet-rose-oud character but renders the jammy rose and leathery oud flatter than the well-loved original.
