AL SHAGHAF BLACK

Al Shaghaf Black is a unisex eau de parfum by Atyab Al Marshoud, the Kuwaiti house founded in 1925 by Sulaiman Al Marshoud and one of the oldest in Middle Eastern perfumery. It is a rich, sensual oriental woody, designed for those who love intense, enveloping fragrances.

The Fragrance

Its name means "the passion" in Arabic, and the fragrance tells of it with a warm, indulgent character: the brand describes it as a sensual experience made to last. The black bottle with golden details and the name engraved in Arabic calligraphy underlines its nocturnal, precious charm. Like all the house's creations, it is produced in Atyab Al Marshoud's factory in France.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening surprises with strawberry, juicy and slightly gourmand, giving the perfume a lively start. In the heart patchouli brings earthy depth, while vanilla softens it with its creamy warmth. In the base oud emerges, woody and intense, leaving a rich, sensual and very long-lasting trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Al Shaghaf Black To

We recommend Al Shaghaf Black to those who love oriental woody scents with a sweet heart and want an intense Arabian perfume that is a real pleasure to wear.
