Ingredients from continents diverge to give birth to this high quality unisex fragrance called OUD SHAIKH. The OUD SHAIKH Eau De Parfum is part of the HUNAIDI collection of precious oud fragrances that were composed of 6 olfactive harmonies, all built around essential oils with strong symbolic values from the East of oud, rose, incense, amber and musk. OUD SHAIKH is the first stopover on this olfactive trip. Oud is an extremely rare and precious oil found in agarwood, the resinous heartwood of the aquilaria tree from southeast Asia. The oil itself is dark in coloration and has a complex scent, being warm and woody, yet strongly animalistic at the same time. In many Middle Eastern countries, oud is believed to be worth more than its weight in gold and silver. To echo this belief, the HUNAIDI bottles have a gold & silver engraving with the logo of HUNAIDI and the box is decorated with gold, silver & rose gold print.
OUD SHAIKH by HUNAIDI was not composed as a literal translation of the oud oil in its purest form. Instead, it was composed as a contemporary interpretation of oud, for those who appreciate and value the richness of the fragrance note itself. In order to create this interpretation, Perfumers at SHAIKH SAEED 1954 have layered the oud’s oil with other essential oils such as cypriol oil, guaiac wood oil, copahu balm and saffron oil. In doing so, OUD SHAIKH by HUNAIDI takes on a gold coloration which seems only fitting given the symbolism of gold throughout the scents theme. The scent remains warm and woody yet evokes a sense of modernity and elegance. Only available in the 2.5oz spray, OUD SHAIKH by HUNAIDI is an invitation to discover the olfactive charm of the Middle East.
