Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Rosa Damascena Flower Oil from Taif Rose
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shams Al Doha opens with Taif rose, jasmine and musk, floral and soft. The heart deepens with rose, saffron, amber and artemisia, adding spice, warmth and a herbal edge. Oud and sandalwood form the base, woody and rich. It is a rose-led oud scent that moves from airy florals to a deep, resinous finish.
