Shaghaf Oud Azraq

Continuing through my Swiss Arabian Shaghaf gift box, today I'm wearing Shaghaf Oud Azraq. This one gets compared a lot to Honey Aoud by Montale, but I've never smelled Honey Aoud, so I can't comment on any similarities or differences.

This is definitely honey and oud though. It's sweet, dark and strong. Every note on the list is present and detectable.

This is one of the best scents in the Shaghaf line, but also one of the least versatile. I love the smell, but don't see many occasions where I'd wear it.

Honey hits first. It's a sticky, sweet, thick honey. The oud, cinnamon, amber and vanilla play a supporting role. As it dries down, the honey gets less pronounced and the leather comes out more… it settles into exactly what the note list suggests it should smell like.

Definitely best in winter. It's another well-made perfume from Swiss Arabian at a great value.

I give it an easy 8/10 for my first wearing.
