Shaghaf Pour Homme
by Rasasi
Shaghaf Pour Homme presents a bold, sweet floral profile with prominent fruity and vanilla accords, creating a dense, sticky opening that some describe as cloying or overly synthetic. The scent evolves into a more approachable, powdery floral base with musk and sandalwood, giving it a refined middle-eastern character. Longevity is exceptional, lasting 8–10 hours with strong projection for the first two hours before settling to a moderate sillage. Its sweet, floral, and slightly synthetic composition makes it stand out from mainstream western fragrances, resembling a tropical fruit cocktail or a luxury hotel soap rather than a traditional masculine scent. While the initial burst can feel overwhelming or even chemical to some, many users find that it mellows into a unique and wearably distinctive profile over time. It is widely praised as an excellent choice for summer, particularly in hot climates, and most affectionate towards younger to middle-aged men who appreciate bold, unconventional perfumes.
