Beautiful experience
The other day I wore the last drop I had left of Venom of Angel by Piotr Czarnecki. It reminded me that I had yet to review She Shihan, which is a very interesting fragrance to say the least!
She Shihan is a bursting floral that quickly gains a soap quality on my skin, just after a minute or two. Though the fragrance is an Amber Vanilla fragrance, the rose is very prominent. Just like Venom of Angel, She Shihan is a complete enigma of a scent! The notes are so well blended, but they each peek through now and again, confusing my nose throughout the whole oxidation time. I smell something chocolaty, then a slight bitter coffee bean, definitely something floral, but also a vanilla sweet and fruity note.
On paper, She Shihan is far more fruity and light. Plum is definitely in the forefront, lead by ever so slight notes of tobacco leaves, myrrh, labdanum and whiskey.
I found an old review I made back in June 2021 where I did not get any of the notes stated above, which shows me how much I have learned just after one year in the fragrance community!
I quote: "Strong feminine opening, too generic for my liking. Rose, heavy musk and myrrh. A slight pepper undertone. I don't smell plum, whiskey or coffee, which is a shame, I would have loved that. This fragrance has a lot more character on paper, I prefer it with it's fresher profile and more airy notes."
With the last part, I agree.
After dry down, Shi Shihan is a delicate sweet floral fragrance. It is very pleasant and the type of floral I see myself wearing. After reapplying, much later during the day, the fragrance leaves a very special sweet, spicy, plastic-like scent in the room.
My closing thought is that She Shihan is a very balanced fragrance. Sweet, slightly floral, slightly spicy and rich, but not too cloying. It might be a fragrance that I have to revisit, but for now I am good without.
