Parfums de Marly Shagya is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Sidonie Lancesseur. Shagya opens with Bergamot, Lime, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Virginia Cedarwood, Oud, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Musk, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. Parfums de Marly's Shagya carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this fresh take on oud is a masterclass in woody aromatic scents, but you'll either love its unique blend or find it completely unwearable. Definitely one to try before you buy.

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.

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Shagya leans towards formal and date settings, but its fresh oud profile makes it surprisingly versatile for office wear in moderation and casual outings. Some reviewers found it too strong for warm weather or very casual situations.

About

Shagya opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of bergamot and lime, sharpened by a touch of pink pepper, before transitioning into a sophisticated heart of Virginia cedarwood and clean oud. The dry down settles into an earthy, musky blend, where vetiver, papyrus, and guaiac wood create a distinguished, lingering presence that's both fresh and deeply woody.
