Shaghaf Oud - Luxury Products From Dubai - Long Lasting, Addictive Personal EDP Spray Fragrance - Seductive Signature Aroma - 2.5 Oz

After seeing some of the negative reviews and commentary about what has become my favorite fragrance in my life thus far, I thought it would be important to add at least one more log to the fire in its defense. Perhaps Shaghaf Oud is polarizing, but part of what makes it so unique is its singularity. The initial blast is surprisingly harsh — metallic, almost a bit like gasoline — but it fades quickly, revealing a deep and nuanced fragrance reminiscent of (to me) the finest (unlit) cigar, a lovely and well-furnished family library replete with countless volumes covered in leather, the glorious complexity of brown sugar crisping on the surface of a confection in the oven, and the silken rich warmth of incense coupled with the lingering stickiness of vanilla beans. I don’t find it to be masculine, I simply find it to be dark and mysterious, with strong scent projection. I don’t want to wear perfume I can’t personally smell, and at the end of the day, I can still catch a strong whiff of Shaghaf Oud still lingering in my skin - I get at least twelve hours of wear and even longer on clothing. I enjoy it so much, I wear it every chance I get. There will always be Shaghaf Oud in my collection! To be honest, I can seem to stop collecting every Swiss Arabian perfume I find. It’s still the best, even though I like them all :)

***This is a review for BOTH Shaghaf Oud and Oud Aswad (gold bottle, black bottle)*** Shaghaf Oud (gold bottle) is a perfect fragrance for women like myself who aren't into the fruity florals constantly being marketed to us. Smooth, rich, warm, and definitely gourmand, this is a beautiful addition to my accumulation of Arabian oud-based perfumes. I can't stop smelling myself when I wear this. The saffron opening and subtle oud in the background add depth and keep you from smelling completely like a bakery, but you WILL smell edible nonetheless. Apparently the sillage and projection aren't bad either, since strangers have walked up to me in stores and complimented me on it. As to longevity, I can wear this all day, jump in the pool for an hour, and still catch whiffs on my skin afterward. For me, Shaghaf Oud is late afternoon sun and warm summer nights. Seductive is its middle name. Fans of amber, tonka bean, and of course oud will enjoy this. Another, similar fragrance is Lattafa's Oud Mood, but I have both because the latter has a delightfully subtle floral opening and the woodiness is more present all the way through the drydown. Also, Oud Mood doesn't last as long and wears a bit more lightly if you're afraid of overwhelming people with the Shaghaf. If you're looking for a more pronounced woodiness though, check out Lattafa's Raghba Wood Intense for all of the gourmand but also lots of smoke, spice, and more pronounced oud. I have all three. For a more oriental, slightly (but not cloyingly) berry note, go for the Shaghaf Oud Aswad (black bottle). That's beautiful as well, a bit like Narciso Rodriguez' original black bottle ("Her") and Jesus del Pozo's now-discontinued In Black. The oud sits in the background of this fragrance as well, and Aswad overall has a much different mood to it. Some may find it a bit heavy, for night, or more for colder weather, but I wear fragrance based on what I'm feeling, not time or season. It is definitely not for the 20's set, as it is way too nuanced to appeal to young noses. The opening is floriental with a bit of fruity undertone- my nose isn't sophisticated enough to pick up on what fruit, exactly. It has the characteristic woodiness that should be there in any perfume that has "oud" in the name. It doesn't last as long as the gold bottle, but the projection is every bit as mighty. When you want to smell like a grown woman but aren't going for the edible, gourmand component, wear the Aswad. I wear the gold bottle more frequently, but when I'm feeling the black bottle, I can't stop smelling myself with that one on either. They are different, but equally worthy, additions to any fan of ouds. No idea how either of these wear on men, I can only speak from my own standpoint. A good fragrance is a good fragrance no matter who wears it, in my opinion.

I'm not very versed on perfumes BUT Swiss Arabian SHAGHAF OUD is my first Oud and the bottle is beautiful (Gold)the scent is lasting allll day! Justa few sprays on the hot spots and your on your way to feel like a million bucks! Excellent for the fall/winter 🔥 12/12/25 Update! I've been wearing it everyday and it's opening up nicely...i work outside and I spray the hot spots and a little on clothes, DAMMM!!! THIS is giving me an Arua of smoky vanilla with the smokey oud... through the cold Air it slithers through giving pleasant scents of vanilla alllll day wow... Definitely a crowd pleaser!!! UPDATE FEBRUARY 7,2026! JUST ORDERED, TONKA,this has been on my list for a few months But because of so many Good reviews on Tonka I pulled the trigger. NOW upon opening it right out the box without spraying it i held the bottle to my nose and immediately could smell BABY powder! Without spraying it showing how potent this is then a spray on 2 hot spots the left and right inner wrist. It's strong Almond!!! With lotion scent 😄 opened at 7pm and lasted till morning! So I'm patient with these fragrances, that's why you have to buy several different fragrances to let maceration begin on one while wearing another that's matured!! I know I know why wait for a fragrances to "Cook" ,I just finally bought it and STILL have to wait to wear it🤷🏼 hey that's how these middle eastern fragrances work BUT the results are incredible!! Once you start rotating fragrances they start doing justice!!! So I'm spraying Tonka every now and then at the house until it's Ready to wear outside! Stay tuned. ALSO SWISS ARABIAN SHAGHAF oud ABYAD!!! Came in today, bought this one because it's RECOMMENDED if your a Cigar Smoker! It's supposed to still preform while smoking cigars!!! That's what I'm talking about🫡

10,000/10 I blind bought this, and I’m not disappointed. It smells so good. :( like I’ve never had a scent like it. I’m just starting to stack my scents, so this is perfect for the collection.

At first I kind of got old man cologne scent but I let it warm up a bit and ended up with a sort of shea butter scent which isn’t bad but just isn’t what I expected after the description or reviews.

It is very feminine, I'd say it's for the ladies more than men. It smells extremely good and the projection is insane. It's also very strong, took five washes and a shower to get the scent off my hand after one spray. It has a very good chocolate smell.

Perfume girly here Too strong of an oud for me. I know a lot of people loves this scent but it’s extremely STRONGGGG and it gives me a headache. As much as I wanted to love this perfume the oud was too over powering for me

I discovered Shaghaf Oud back in 2018 during one of my trips to Dubai, and since then, it has become more than just a perfume, it’s part of my identity. This is the kind of fragrance that walks into the room before you do. I’ve had countless moments in boardrooms and meetings where people say, “Ana is here”, just because they recognize the scent. That alone tells you everything about its presence and projection. The oud is rich, warm, and slightly sweet, but still very elegant and sophisticated. It’s long-lasting (truly long-lasting), and it evolves beautifully throughout the day without becoming overwhelming. I own many perfumes, I genuinely love fragrances, but I always come back to this one. It’s my go-to, along with the 007, which is also incredible. But Shaghaf Oud… this one is personal. And the price OMG 😍 i absolutely love it!

Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian is one of those fragrances that instantly grabs your attention. The opening is rich with saffron, giving it a warm and slightly spicy character. As it develops, the heart reveals a smooth rose and oud combination that feels refined rather than overpowering. The dry down is where this fragrance truly shines, with creamy praline, vanilla, and a touch of oud creating a sweet, luxurious, and comforting finish. The quality is outstanding for the price. It smells niche-inspired and has a dense, well-blended composition that feels much more expensive than it is. Performance: Longevity: 9–12+ hours on my skin. Projection: Strong for the first 2–3 hours, then settles into a noticeable scent bubble. Sillage: Above average—people around you will notice it. This is best suited for cooler weather, evenings, and special occasions, although I enjoy wearing it whenever I want to feel confident and well-dressed. If you enjoy sweet oriental fragrances with saffron, oud, vanilla, and praline, Shaghaf Oud is an easy recommendation and one of the best values in its price range

Amazing by swiss arabian

Beautiful smell! I always get compliments when wearing!

Die Rose bringt eine romantische, blumige Eleganz, die perfekt mit den warmen, süßen Noten der Praline und Vanille harmoniert. Diese Kombination schafft ein kühnes und zeitloses orientalisches Aroma, das sowohl für Männer als auch für Frauen geeignet ist. **Haltbarkeit:** Die Haltbarkeit des Parfums ist außergewöhnlich. Nach dem Auftragen bleibt der Duft über viele Stunden hinweg intensiv und präsent. Selbst am nächsten Tag kann ich noch einen Hauch des Duftes auf meiner Haut wahrnehmen, was für ein Eau de Parfum in dieser Preisklasse einfach bemerkenswert ist. **Flakon:** Der Flakon selbst ist elegant gestaltet und spiegelt die luxuriöse Natur des Inhalts wider. Die goldenen Akzente und die geschwungene Form verleihen ihm einen Hauch von Opulenz und machen ihn zu einem schönen Blickfang in jeder Parfumsammlung. **Anwendung:** Shaghaf Oud eignet sich sowohl für den Alltag als auch für besondere Anlässe. Die komplexe Duftstruktur macht es zu einem perfekten Begleiter für abendliche Veranstaltungen, während die frischen Noten es auch für den täglichen Gebrauch angenehm machen.
