Dehn El Ood Shaheen: A harmonious symphony of oud and leather
In my first review on EssenceVitae, I dedicate myself to the fascinating Dehn el Ood Shaheen oil by Swiss Arabian. My journey through the world of niche perfumes has led me to a discovery: Oud, a fragrance note that increasingly captivates and mesmerizes me.
Through in-depth research in the forum about oud, I kept coming across the oils from Swiss Arabian. This led me to believe that Dehn el Ood Shaheen should be the next logical step in my olfactory journey. Although it is not a pure oud oil, it offers an olfactory approximation that is both affordable and no great loss if you don't like it. What's more, with its aesthetic design, the bottle is almost a decorative work of art that looks great on any shelf.
When the oil is applied to the skin, a subtle, slightly animalic note unfolds, but it is not as intense as in other fragrances such as "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" or Amoral. This note increasingly evaporates after a few minutes, leaving behind a warm, leathery and woody fragrance. For me, the dominant impression is that of old, earthy leather wrapped around an antique wooden box. Surprisingly, the fragrance tends more towards leather than I had expected.
However, the sillage did not quite convince me in the cool winter months. Even when applied generously, the oil was only perceptible to me and others if you came very close to the treated areas of skin. The longevity is also not comparable to the previously mentioned perfumes; after about 4-5 hours, I could no longer perceive the oil on my skin.
Nevertheless, the oil is worth a blind buy for me just because of its beautiful bottle. My oud journey will continue with oils from Ensar Oud, which I hope will have a stronger sillage and last longer due to their purity.
