Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Abyad is an Eau de Parfum. Shaghaf Oud Abyad opens with Oregano, Bergamot, and Allspice, settles into a heart of Citrus, Amber, Myrrh, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Smoke. Swiss Arabian's Shaghaf Oud Abyad carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A beast-mode, divisive scent that's often compared to Amouage Interlude Man. If you love a potent, smoky resin bomb then this budget-friendly powerhouse will blow your socks off. But don't blind buy, this is not for the faint of heart, or for the office.

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.

Its beastly projection and longevity make it entirely unsuitable for office wear, with many reviewers noting it can be 'too much'. It's best reserved for cooler weather, open, formal evening events, or even just for personal enjoyment, as it's not a general crowd-pleaser.

About

Shaghaf Oud Abyad opens with a fierce, herbaceous burst of oregano and spiced bergamot, rapidly evolving into a dense heart of smoky frankincense, myrrh, and warm amber. The dry down is a smouldering bonfire of deep resins and woods, leaving a rich, mystical smoke trail in its wake.
