Description
Shaghaf Oud CPO is a unisex Swiss Arabian concentrated perfume oil built around saffron and oud, with rose and praline in the heart and a rich oud vanilla base. Product Overview Shaghaf Oud CPO is the 12ml oil expression of one of Swiss Arabian's best known oud fragrances. Swiss Arabian classifies it as Oud and Gourmand and recommends it for cooler seasons. Scent Profile Saffron creates the opening warmth while oud appears immediately and remains present throughout. Rose and praline make the heart floral and gourmand. Vanilla then softens the final stage while oud continues to provide depth. Technical Structure and Development The fragrance is deliberately linear around oud. Saffron adds spice at the start, rose and praline sweeten the centre, and vanilla rounds the dry down without removing the agarwood core. Performance The Shaghaf Oud line is known for strong persistence, and the concentrated oil format is designed to extend skin wear further while keeping application controlled. Wear Scenarios Shaghaf Oud CPO is built for: • cool evening wear • date nights • special occasions • perfume layering • sweet oud enthusiasts Its sweetness and density are best suited to cooler conditions. Scent Family Positioning This sits in the sweet rose oud oil lane with saffron, praline and vanilla surrounding a persistent agarwood structure. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Shaghaf Oud CPO is an Original Creation within Swiss Arabian's own Shaghaf family rather than a documented external interpretation. Flankers and Variations The wider Shaghaf Oud family includes Ahmar, Azraq, Tonka and other variations. This CPO represents the original saffron, rose, praline, oud and vanilla signature in oil form. Market and Community Reception Shaghaf Oud is one of Swiss Arabian's most recognised modern fragrances. The oil version extends the same sweet oud identity for wearers who prefer concentrated, alcohol free application.
