About

Shaghaf Oud opens with a bold, almost leathery saffron that quickly settles into a rich, sweet gourmand experience. Praline and vanilla create a dense, chocolatey warmth, complemented by a subtle, jammy rose. The oud here is present but not overly animalic, offering a smoky, woody depth that becomes sweeter and smoother as it dries down, lingering for an eternity.
