Gulf Orchid Shisha is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Shisha opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Saffron, and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Honey, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Gulf Orchid's Shisha carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

If a Shisha lounge could be bottled, this is it. Sweet, smoky, and undeniably unique, Gulf Orchid's Shisha nails that atmospheric vibe perfectly. It's affordable and has become a quick hit for those chasing that particular Kilian Smoking Hot dupe.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its sweet and smoky accords, coupled with the community's association with shisha lounges, make it far too intense for office or sport. It's an excellent choice for a date or a casual evening out, where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering. Formal events would likely be too much given its distinctive, less-than-traditional profile.

About

Imagine stepping into a luxurious shisha den. The air is thick with sweet, smoky plum and star anise, brightened by a whisper of bergamot and the curious, sugary swirl of cotton candy. As it settles, a floral heart of jasmine and orris emerges, grounded by a rich, honeyed amber and labdanum base. It's a warm, enveloping scent, where mossy depth meets gourmand indulgence.
