RANIA J Shah'ryar is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Rania Jouaneh. Shah'ryar opens with Bergamot, Osmanthus, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Labdanum and Plum, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. RANIA J's Shah'ryar carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Shah'ryar is a divisive beast: a rich, unapologetically animalic oud that's either a life-changing masterpiece or a scratchy, overwhelming mess. Not for the faint of heart, it demands attention and offers an intoxicating, complex journey for those brave enough.

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.

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost peppery kick of osmanthus and bergamot, quickly sweetened by a dark, treacly caramel. This leads into a heart of juicy plum and resinous labdanum, adding depth and a slightly boozy warmth. The real drama unfolds in the base, where a potent, barnyard oud blends with dry hay, smoky vetiver, creamy sandalwood, and a hint of beeswax and vanilla, creating a dense, enveloping, and wildly complex aroma that's both raw and refined.
