The Scoop
Shaghaf Oud captures the oud-forward character and rosy sweetness of Velvet Tender Oud but with a slightly more prominent spiced quality in the opening. The clone delivers comparable longevity and similar woody base structure, though the almond note that gives the original its distinctive creamy softness is less pronounced, making Shaghaf feel marginally more traditional and less gourmand.
Key Differences
The clone emphasizes oud and spice more heavily while diminishing the creamy sweet almond accord that defines the original's unique character. Sillage is comparable, but Shaghaf reads as a more conventional oud fragrance rather than the refined floral-oud hybrid of Velvet Tender Oud.

What wearers say
“This is one of my favorites, it has some sweet, gourmand notes in the beggining kind of like raspberry, prolly beacuse of the jammy rose that it has, but a jam that is also a bit sour from the saffron, the drydown that has the oud base gives it a very pleasent smell, and it makes it to feel sorta crunchy, like a biscuit, overall a great smell, great performance, lasts me 12h+, with good projection and sillage, for a really good price. 10/10.”
“I've just sprayed it on my wrist (2019 batch) to remind myself what kind of fragrance it is. The opening is nothing except the burnt plastic smell. Definitely not my cup of tea. I remember it being a beast by means of performance, but totally not worth it, smelling so terrible.”
“Great deep vanilla oud scent with a touch of sweet rose, the oud note is really good and definitely can be compared to some much much more expensive fragrances. If you like a sweet oud unisex beast mode fragrances, this is for you. Be careful with this one and be ready to smell like this the whole day, its eternal on clothes so be careful with that as well. Amazing value for the money, not just because of the longevity and projection but for the quality of the scent. It takes a lot of time to macerate but it is definitely worth the wait!”
