Swiss Arabian Shagaf Oud Tonka Eau de Parfum

Swiss Arabian Shagaf Oud Tonka Eau de Parfum has a distinct scent which is sweet, warm and creamy at the same time. Soft almond, which is nutty and smooth, is the first note that you perceive. Then the fragrance gets a bit more floral and spicy with the presence of orange blossom and cinnamon in the blend. Eventually, the notes of vanilla and tonka bean linger on the skin and their effect is that of being warm and soothing.

The fragrance is gender neutral and can therefore be worn by anyone. The sweetness has been balanced out perfectly, making it a non dominating scent that is liked by many. The gentlemen who prefer sweet smells and the ladies who favour warm vanilla fragrances both like it. It feels comfortable and applicable for almost all age categories.

Swiss Arabian Shagaf Oud Tonka Eau de Parfum lasts usually between 7 and 10 hours on skin, depending on the person and the conditions. Additionally, if applied on moisturised skin, the scent can last for an even longer time. On fabrics, the vanilla and tonka notes can last as long as the next day and even be perceptible then. It gradually loses its strength but not too quickly.

The perfume has a balanced strength; it is neither extremely loud nor extremely weak. Its presence is felt easily by the people around you in the first hours of wearing it. After that, it gets closer to the skin and becomes more personal. It does not smell like a headache, rather, it feels smooth and warm.

This fragrance is perfect for winter, fall and cooler evenings. The tonka and sweet vanilla blend perfectly with the cold weather. It can be your night fragrance, for dates, dinners and other special occasions. For some people, it will be a bit heavy in the hot summer daytime.

Although the name hints at oud, this fragrance is predominantly tonka and vanilla. There is no harsh or smoky oud in this one. Instead, the amberwood adds a gentle, earthy touch. It is definitely sweeter and more gourmand than the dark oudy scent type.

You can wear it daily if you like sweet and warm perfumes. Many people prefer it more for evening or night use. Just use light sprays in the office so it doesn’t become overpowering. It is pretty soft and gentle for everyday wear, though.

The best way is to spray it on pulse points like the neck, wrists and behind the ears. In case your skin is dry, perhaps applying a light lotion first will keep the perfume longer. One spray on clothes will also make the scent more lasting. Do not rub too much after spraying, allow to dry naturally.

Absolutely, it is an excellent fragrance for gifting purposes. The sweet vanilla and tonka scent is a favorite of many. The bottle also has a luxurious and classy appearance. It makes a great gift for birthdays, holidays or any special occasion.
