Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq Eau de Parfum

Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq Eau de Parfum is a limited-edition addition to the Shaghaf oud line, launched in 2022 and built around a honeyed, spiced take on agarwood rather than the rosier profile of the original.

What does Shaghaf Oud Azraq smell like?

Honey opens the fragrance alongside oud, giving it an immediately sticky-sweet, golden character that's different from the sharper saffron opening used elsewhere in the Shaghaf range. As it develops, cinnamon brings warmth and a little spice, while amber and bourbon vanilla thicken the heart into something closer to a gourmand oriental than a traditional oud. The base keeps it grounded: leather and patchouli add depth and a touch of dryness, stopping the honey and vanilla from becoming cloying. It's a rounder, softer oud than its Abyad and Aswad siblings, better suited to wearers who want warmth over smoke.

• Top notes: Honey, Agarwood (Oud)
• Heart notes: Cinnamon, Amber, Bourbon Vanilla
• Base notes: Leather, Patchouli

Performance and when to wear it

It's typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the amber and vanilla base helping it hold through an evening. The honeyed warmth makes it a natural choice for cooler months and evening wear rather than daytime or summer use.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who enjoys sweeter, honey-and-spice ouds and finds the smokier Shaghaf flankers too heavy. As a limited edition, stock levels are worth checking before committing to it as a signature scent.
