ŞAH

Şah is a unisex extrait de parfum by Régalien, the Istanbul house that reinterprets the timeless traditions of the Ottoman palaces with a modern touch. It is a proud, majestic woody spicy fragrance, a deep harmony of the most precious essences.

The Fragrance

Şah is inspired by the distinctive scents of the great leaders of history, from sultans to the most respected rulers, and by the fragrances built around oud, one of the most precious essences in the world. Alongside this richness, the house wanted aromatic notes reminiscent of the smell of the earth after rain. The result is a perfume that tells with strength and dignity of Istanbul's olfactory heritage: majestic, commanding, unforgettable. Like all the creations of the Heritage Collection, it is made in Istanbul and enclosed in a coloured glass bottle with a golden cap, on whose label the name is traced in calligraphy.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is fresh and surprising: ozonic notes and mineral notes evoke the wet earth after rain. The heart becomes warm and regal: Turkish rose intertwines with nutmeg, clove, saffron and geranium. The base is deep and resinous: Cambodian oud, patchouli and cedarwood leave a woody, smoky and long-lasting trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Şah To

We recommend Şah to those who love oud and woody, spicy perfumes with great presence, and are looking for an elegant, commanding extrait. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings, important occasions and for those who want a signature with character. Unisex, it wins over those who want a noble, deep and refined perfume.
