Swiss Arabian Shawq is an Eau de Parfum. Shawq opens with Bergamot, Blackcurrant, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Birch and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Swiss Arabian's Shawq carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Shawq is a surprisingly good, sweet pineapple bomb for the price, delivering an intoxicating fruity zing that many adore. However, some find it a bit too sweet or synthetic, and performance can be hit-or-miss depending on the batch, with newer releases often being weaker.

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:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its sweet, fruity, and often strong projection makes it great for casual outings and dates, but it can be too potent for formal settings or the office. While reviewers note it's fantastic for warmer weather, some batches have weak performance, making reapplication necessary for sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shawq opens with a bold, juicy burst of syrupy pineapple and tart blackcurrant, brightened by a hint of zesty bergamot. As it settles, a clean, almost soapy lily-of-the-valley emerges, mingling with a subtle, woody birch. The drydown reveals a musky, ambroxan base with earthy patchouli, providing a fresh yet sensual warmth that lingers pleasantly.
