Shadid Extrait 50 ml

Derived from the Arabic word meaning strong, intense, powerful, SHADID is a bold oriental fragrance endowed with depth, elegance, and uncompromising character. Rich and expressive yet refined, SHADID explores contrasts such as darkness and light, power and control, sensuality and airiness. It is an oriental fragrance with a strong presence and soul.

 

SHADID was inspired by a road trip across the desert from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Endless blue skies, infinite horizons, warmth, silence, and solitude create an almost mystical experience, where memories resurface, colors intensify, and time seems suspended. These impressions merge with memories of travels through oriental landscapes, including Saudi Arabia. Rich, warm, and deeply evocative, SHADID captures a feeling of vastness and intensity, tempered by calm and clarity.

 

Top Notes: Spicy, Leathery, Animalic (Coriander, Castoreum)

Heart Notes: Woody, Smoky, Musky (Nagarmotha, Rosewood, Animalic Musks)

Base Notes: Creamy, Dry, Luminous (Sandalwood, Ambergris, Vanilla, Dry Cedar)

 

At the heart of SHADID lies Nagarmotha, revealed in all its facets: woody, smoky, ambery, and musky. It evokes the depth and richness often associated with oud. The composition opens with animalic leather and spices, then deepens into a rich and structured heart, and finally settles into a dark yet radiant base. Creamy sandalwood, luminous ambergris, dry cedar, and a delicate touch of vanilla bring lightness and luminosity, balancing the darker elements and giving the fragrance an airy inner light. SHADID is powerful but never loud. Elegant, composed, and persistent.
