Swiss Arabian Shagaf Oud (Gold bottle) is indistinguishable to my nose, from Oud Bouquet. I have Oud Bouquet, one of the older formulas, before they changed the bottle design, and I love it. I don’t have much left and I treasure it. I have heard that Shagaf Oud is not as good as it used to be. It’s said that if you can get your hands on an older bottle that has the Arabic writing on the front that it’s a masterpiece. But, I can’t help but wonder if it’s possible that the older bottles are only better just because they have aged and macerated longer. Because my bottle of Shagaf Oud is outstanding. I can’t imagine it possibly being better. It’s a fantastic performer as well. On clothes it lasts for days on end. If you already know all of this I apologize, I just like to help people out if I can. I hope you find what you’re looking for. 😊
FYI Art of Arabia 2 is a clone of/inspired by PDM Pegasus Exclusif and Art of Arabia 3 is a clone of/inspired by D&G The One Luminous Night. Do you have any info about performance of all 3 Art of Arabia fragrances?
Ive been wondering about these. Especially the first one on your vid here. I do like deeper sweeter frags but I need some freshies down here in FL. Art of Arabia 1 sounds perfect. TY and love the content.
I have a decent of the ‘Watch’ one and it’s lovely. Seems to have a high oil concentration too. Enjoying your reviews and glad I’ve found you. Claire from Australia 🇦🇺
