By the editors · 2 min readShahrazad opens with gardenia and tuberose — two of the most potent white florals in perfumery, both heady and intensely floral with a creamy, slightly narcotic quality. The opening is unambiguously white floral and makes no apology for its density.
White musk carries the dry-down, softening the florals toward a clean, powdery skin finish. The musk tempers the intensity of the opening without replacing it entirely.
Shahrazad is a bold, unapologetic white floral. The gardenia-tuberose combination is opulent and assertive; the white musk base keeps it from becoming oppressive. Best for evening occasions and cooler weather when the heavy floral character is contextually fitting.
