{"product_id":"shaghaf","title":"Shaghaf – Oriental Woody Extrait de Parfum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaghaf by Anfas\u003c\/strong\u003e is a woody, oriental, and spicy niche \u003cstrong\u003eperfume extract\u003c\/strong\u003e, unisex, created by master perfumer \u003cstrong\u003eChristian Carbonnel\u003c\/strong\u003e. In Arabic, \u003cstrong\u003eshaghaf\u003c\/strong\u003e means \u003cstrong\u003epassion\u003c\/strong\u003e—the kind that reaches the deepest recesses of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA house where every fragrance begins with an Arabic word\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnfas\u003c\/strong\u003e (أنفاس) means \u003cstrong\u003e“breaths”\u003c\/strong\u003e in Arabic, and the house’s theme is \u003cstrong\u003eArab hospitality\u003c\/strong\u003e—that way of welcoming guests that, according to its founder, is something you can breathe in the Emirates. It was founded in the \u003cstrong\u003eUnited Arab Emirates\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eAsim Al Qassim\u003c\/strong\u003e, an \u003cstrong\u003earchitect by training and the first certified Emirati perfumer\u003c\/strong\u003e. His method is stated plainly: \u003cstrong\u003eit begins with an Arabic word, traces back to the emotion it carries, and then translates that emotion into a fragrance formula\u003c\/strong\u003e—creating perfumes that are not \u003cem\u003einspired\u003c\/em\u003e by Arab culture, but \u003cstrong\u003emade from it\u003c\/strong\u003e. His architect’s eye is evident in the bottle: the rim is adorned with \u003cstrong\u003epalm leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e depicting the sun, a \u003cstrong\u003eflower opens in the center of the cap\u003c\/strong\u003e like a gift presented on a tray, and each bottle features an \u003cstrong\u003eArabic engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e. This one is signed by \u003cstrong\u003eChristian Carbonnel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Spanish master perfumer behind Xerjoff’s \u003cstrong\u003eErba Pura\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of citrus, ginger, and cardamom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e opens with a bright, zesty clarity, immediately warmed by spicy, slightly soapy \u003cstrong\u003eginger\u003c\/strong\u003e and fresh, camphoraceous \u003cstrong\u003ecardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e. The opening is vibrant, revealing nothing of what is to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of cedar, leather, cashmere, and tobacco\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeather\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etobacco\u003c\/strong\u003e assert themselves, smoky and subtly honeyed, supported by dry \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eCashmere\u003c\/strong\u003e—a woody, musky material with a velvety feel—rounds out the composition and prevents the heart from becoming harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of oud, patchouli, amber, opoponax, and Tolu balsam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOud\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epatchouli\u003c\/strong\u003e establish an earthy depth, while \u003cstrong\u003eamber\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eopoponax\u003c\/strong\u003e—a sweet myrrh—and \u003cstrong\u003eTolu balsam\u003c\/strong\u003e bring their warm resins, with a subtle hint of \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e in the background. The trail is dense and long, awakening on the skin over the course of several hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house’s signature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFive resinous materials in the base alone.\u003c\/strong\u003e Where most woody fragrances settle for oud and amber, Shaghaf layers \u003cstrong\u003eoud, patchouli, amber, opoponax, and Tolu balsam\u003c\/strong\u003e—four resins and a root, all heavy, all slow. This is the part of the fragrance that lasts, and the house has placed the heart of the formula there. The word explains it: \u003cem\u003eshaghaf\u003c\/em\u003e does not mean a fleeting impulse, but \u003cstrong\u003ea passion that settles in and runs deep\u003c\/strong\u003e. Hence the vibrant ten-minute opening, followed by hours of leather, tobacco, and resins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom and for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoody, oriental, and spicy, this perfume extract is for those who love smoky leathers and commanding trails. It is at its best from autumn through winter and in the evening, and is equally suited to women and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eShaghaf Anfas\u003c\/strong\u003e, Christian Carbonnel has captured the Arabic word for a passion that never fades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANFAS","offers":[{"title":"75 ml","offer_id":54414508851464,"sku":"PROD-000282","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/anfas-shaghaf-1254x1254_03a9c33e-748f-47c6-ab05-012ef38c65d1.jpg?v=1787118378","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/shaghaf","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
