About This Perfume
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Royale smells like warm spiced wood dusted with saffron and lavender. It opens with saffron and lavender, moves into nutmeg and Oud and settles on musk and patchouli. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2023.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and warm for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.

How the picks are built
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Tonka (perfume oil, 2023) reads as warm almond cake with vanilla frosting and a whisper of cinnamon spice, opening on almond and drying down to tonka bean, vanilla and amberwood. Swiss Arabian Incense 01 (Eau de Parfum, 2025) is described as smoky incense with warm spiced nuts and dark chocolate; the opening brings frankincense and bergamot, and the base settles on vanilla, cashmere wood and cedarwood. Expect sweet apple and grapes over warm caramel and woody suede from Swiss Arabian Casablanca (Eau de Parfum, 2016), with wine grape and apple up top and balsam, amber and vanilla underneath.
