Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum 75ml is a rich, gourmand-amber unisex fragrance built around the central pairing of saffron and oud. The composition opens with saffron for a bright, slightly metallic spice; agarwood (oud) and rose carry the heart with warmth and depth; and a base of oud, praline and vanilla gives the scent its long, indulgent finish. The result is a smooth, characterful Middle-Eastern fragrance that bridges traditional oud perfumery and contemporary gourmand-leaning compositions.

The story behind Shaghaf Oud
"Shaghaf" translates roughly as "passion" or "infatuation" in Arabic, and the composition was conceived as a love letter to the central role of oud in Middle-Eastern perfumery — paired here with the warm sweetness of praline and vanilla to make it more contemporary and broadly wearable. The composition has earned cult status as an alternative to the modern saffron-amber niche genre. The bottle takes a striking gold-and-amber-tinted silhouette with the brand's signature decorative cap.
Who it's for
Shaghaf Oud is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to rich, gourmand-leaning oud-amber fragrances — wearers of fragrances like Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood, Lattafa Khamrah, or Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, who want a more affordable Middle-Eastern alternative. Best in autumn and winter, ideal for evening, dinner and statement-piece wear.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- Two sprays are usually plenty given the strong projection.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity, particularly on dry skin.
