The Saudi Shaft

Long name, short conclusion: "Shaghaf Oud Abyad" is the best "Interlude Man" clone on the market!

A smoking dog before the Lord, this high quality Swiss Arabian therapy is an oriental monster without mercy. Smoky, woody, roomy. A campfire in Oman, the most beautiful forest fire ever, a charred pizza in a leather handbag, a hairy sultan without clothes, a board with teeth, an angular beast with curves. Sounds stupid, but that's how it is! Oud perfectly woven, myrrh like from the holy three, Christmas at the Burj Khalifa. Solid and transcending borders. Not for the faint of heart, not for the sensitive, not for the sensitive nose, not for the beginner. A scent in bass. It's not just the wallet that's happy!

Flacon: typical Cheapie from 'm Orient
Sillage: La Bomba
Durability: does not stop - and that is a good thing! 18 hours?!

Conclusion: the perfect, easily affordable alternative to the beast "Interlude Man". Even a bit rounder and more portable, but very close. Amazing. And good. Very good. Brute and powerful, a furious pocket fireplace!

Interlude Man for a small price

In the last week of 2018 I struck again. Once the Reflection Man by Amouage and this Shaghaf Oud Abyad by Swiss Arabian. With the crass resemblance one could almost count it to Amouage. Reflection and Interlude are the only two I find interesting about this brand. At least in the price range to think about buying. But Interlude was frankly too expensive for me, especially as it is inappropriate in many situations. That's why I chose this one, who has a good reputation here.

I found Interlude Man interesting at the first test, but somehow it wasn't mine. Too intense, too penetrating and somehow I couldn't think of a way to wear it. Until I wore it outside again on a warm summer night. Clear starry sky, full moon, warm temperatures and good music. That was a moment when I thought: It fits perfectly and is very interesting. It simply stands out from the usual fragrances and has something special.
When I didn't want to buy Shaghaf Oud Abyad, he was available for small money. When I got him, he wanted to be out of all the shops. Many shops do not carry this brand anyway. Notino has a large assortment of brands from Duabi (Rasasi, Swiss Arabian, Al Haramain etc.). After about half a year finally available again in the assortment. I think about 10 Euro more expensive, because they checked that it is very popular. But 34 Euros for 75ml is an extremely good price for such high quality fragrance.

I'm not going to describe this scent very well here. Most of them are here anyway because of Interlude Man. If you don't know either of the two fragrances, you should rather test one of them and not let yourself be influenced by the high ratings. They are oriental firecrackers, in which the motto is everything or nothing. Absolutely unfit for everyday use. No other scent to please everyone. Even if you have migraines or headaches, this scent can make you lose your mind.
If you look at the pyramids you see identical ones. Bergamot, oregano, pimento, amber, frankincense, opoponax, leather, oud, sandalwood, patchouli both share. In this respect, only a similar brew can come out. That's the way it is. The difference in price is not noticeable qualitatively. They are extremely identical. Only the performance is different. However, the poor performance is rather a plus point for the Swiss Arabian. The Amouage seems a little over and too much to me. But I have to say: Even for the "reduced" performance I still give 10 points. Could be the reformulated version of Interlude. From the scent no really big difference. I like the dry-down from Shaghaf better. The fragrance says goodbye more gracefully than Interlude. Even if the shelf life of Interlude is not from this world, the last minutes or hours I feel as slightly musty and disturbing.

All in one a perfect cheaper version. Even better for me.

AL AKHBAR!

Al Abyad! I meant of course! Which means this perfume is pretty big!
I don't know "Interlude Man" now, but I could already imagine that Amouage copied this fragrance here and released it as a dupe, as everyone wrote below. (I just skimmed that)

For all of you who like me can't read as much as I can due to lack of time, you can already see from my review that Shaghaf Oud Abyad smells pretty good. (insert link to souk here, Paypal, OneKlick)

For all, which need more help, because they cannot imagine the smell yet so correctly, are still undecided, because they are their whole life long already undecided, cannot decide, and never so really gain a foothold in the society, because you are simply not enthusiastic, here a detailed description:

Shaghaf Oud Abyad is a long-lasting unisex bouncer with proper bums in Kopp, heart + base.
"Rima" occurs to me, with its wonderfully stale full on the 12-cardamom, really beautiful, understatement sweetness by Tonka/Vanilla in the Base, and heartily always accompanying by Vetiver, which never bombs too loudly, but always only bockmäßig, sauer zwischenknallt with P99.

Well, if you don't know how the perfume smells now, then I don't know.
And what I now still say will not fit doubters (Abs.3): Fragrance pyramids are overrated.

Searing heat and screeching cicadas.

Yeah, I understand why there's a winter scent here, and I'd put it in the same category if...
..he wouldn't smell EXACTLY like summer vacation in Croatian Dalmatia. The spiced air flickers at Camp Grebišce between the conifers, whose wood would have to burst from dryness. The sun burns on the skin and on the sea level. And the chirping of the cicadas is like an unceasing cry.
Man, was that awesome.
So to the perfume:
Interlude Man? Never sniffed before, but the similarity has already been treated extensively.
The fragrance has no real development, it simply becomes less biting and quieter over time. And that's a good thing, because: Old administrator's the strong one! I've never experienced anything like this before... Never more than 2-3 sprayers, otherwise you'll bother yourself and your fellow men.
I will not go into the individual fragrances, that has already been analyzed too many times. But from the bottle comes an incredibly complex mixture that I could only guess the fewest components. None of it muffs, they all lie next to each other glowing in the sun.

Attention: few seem to associate the fragrance with summer! So please don't get false expectations from my comment. For my part I lie somewhere in the Black Forest in the sun - it's almost 40°, the crickets don't chirp quite as loud but at least - I smell on my wrist and Shagaf Oud Abyad catapults me to the Croatian coast where the cicadas screech.

Blind purchase of the year

First of all I would like to say that I am a perfume novice with less than six months of experience. For years I penetrated my olfactory organ with the same boring scents, it's different since Parfumo and I always dare new experiments.
In the price range, in which the discussed fragrance is, I like to buy blind. So far I have rarely been disappointed by these. But now I've hit the jackpot with Shaghaf Oud Abyad.
I only own about 60 fragrances and have only twice as much experience with them. But this one is the absolute hammer.
A mixture of smoky leather combined with herbaceous, fresh oriental spices is like a bomb right from the start. Every now and then citric and fresh notes swap and disappear again.
The fact that the fragrance has an almost 9 rating here does not surprise me at all after the test. He's just awesome. You probably know it when you have a new bottle and after spraying it on you have to smell it over and over again on your wrist or under your t-shirt because the scent is just so horny - I had just such an experience with Oud Abjya.

Unfortunately the durability is not as described by others 12 but with me unfortunately only 6 hours. I can't get enough of this stuff. And now I spray myself with the price simply again a few splashes on it.

I'm glad I ordered two vials. For the money to simply enjoy such a crazy olfactory experience makes me simply happy.
