Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Man Eau de Parfum
An aromatic aquatic for men, moving from orange, lemon and lavender into spiced sea notes and a praline-patchouli-amber base.
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Man Eau de Parfum is an aromatic aquatic fragrance built specifically for men, pairing a citrus-marine opening with a warm, praline-tinged woody amber base. The Rio Perfumes listing text for this bottle is mismatched and describes a different, citrus-fruity women's scent — the notes below are the verified profile for Shaghaf Man itself.
What does Shaghaf Man smell like?
Chinese orange, lemon and lavender open the fragrance with a crisp, citrus-aromatic freshness. Sea notes, cardamom, cinnamon, sage, cypriol oil and marigold build a spiced, marine heart that keeps the fragrance feeling outdoorsy and layered rather than simply fresh. Praline, tolu balsam, patchouli, palisander rosewood, black amber and ebony tree form a rich, warm base that grounds the fragrance firmly in oriental-woody territory by the drydown.
- Top notes: Chinese Orange, Lemon, Lavender
- Heart notes: Sea Notes, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Sage, Cypriol Oil (Nagarmotha), Marigold
- Base notes: Praline, Tolu Balsam, Patchouli, Palisander Rosewood, Black Amber, Ebony Tree
Performance and when to wear it
Shaghaf Man is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the citrus-marine opening giving way to a longer-lasting praline and amber base. It suits daytime wear thanks to its fresh start, while the spiced woody base gives it enough depth to carry into cooler evenings as well.
Who is it for?
Shaghaf Man is marketed and formulated as a men's fragrance, and suits wearers who want a fresh, marine opening backed by a warm, slightly sweet woody-amber base rather than a purely aquatic or purely oriental scent.
