Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Tonka is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Shaghaf Oud Tonka opens with Almond, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Amberwood. Swiss Arabian's Shaghaf Oud Tonka carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive one - you'll either adore its deep, gourmand almond-cherry vibe or find yourself recoiling from a synthetic 'Play-Doh' impression. Potent and long-lasting, it's definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its beast-mode performance and strong sillage make it overwhelming for office wear unless applied very sparingly. However, its bold, sensual gourmand character is perfect for date nights and special formal occasions, while it can also be a cosy casual scent during colder months.

About

Shaghaf Oud Tonka opens with a powerful, almost cherry-like almond note, rich and nutty. This soon softens into a creamy heart where warm spices like cinnamon mingle with delicate orange blossom and a hint of rose. The base settles into a luscious blend of tonka bean and vanilla, creating a sweet, ambery, and deeply gourmand dry-down that lingers beautifully. It's an indulgent, dessert-like experience, for those who love their scents potent and characterful.
