By the editors · 2 min readShaghaf Oud opens with the metallic brightness of saffron, pitched high and medicinal before it softens into the warmer territory of sweet spice. The effect is arresting rather than subtle—a deliberate announcement that fades within minutes to reveal what lies beneath.
Rose takes center stage in the heart, but this is rose cushioned by sugar rather than earth. It reads more confection than garden, leaning into the sweetness that will dominate the base. The floral element never quite escapes the orbit of dessert.
Vanilla and praline anchor the dry down with unabashed gourmand intensity. This is caramelized sugar and burnt toffee, thick enough to wear like amber. Despite the name, oud remains background presence at best—a faint woody shadow beneath all that sweetness. Best suited to those who want warmth and presence without restraint, particularly in cooler weather when such density feels less overwhelming.
