Orientica Sheikha is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Sheikha opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Green, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Cream, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Orientica's Sheikha carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a truly divisive one, people are getting everything from blueberry cupcakes and Dr. Pepper to elegant vanilla or baby powder. Expect a sweet, creamy, vanillic experience, but don't be surprised if your nose picks up something completely different. It's affordable, charming, and certainly a conversation starter.

Its sweet and creamy profile makes it excellent for casual wear or even a relaxed date. While some found it office-safe, its gourmand leanings and moderate-to-strong projection mean it might be a bit much for very formal or professional settings. It's definitely not for sport.

About

Sheikha opens with a surprising mix of green freshness and the subtly tart redcurrant leaf, which some interpret as fruity berry notes. Soon, it settles into a creamy heart of lily of the valley and jasmine, softening the initial green edges. The base is an indulgent blanket of vanilla and tonka bean, supported by smooth sandalwood and cedar, creating a sweet, woody, and almost gourmand dry down.
