What do reviewers say about Shaghaf and Promise?

This fragrance earns its name. Shaghaf means passion in Arabic, and this one doesn't whisper it. The oud-tobacco base is bold, unapologetic, built for someone who wants to be remembered.Shaghaf

Promise is not a shy fragrance. The clove-spiced rose and smoky cypriol drydown make it bold, but the apple opening keeps it grounded. It rewards patience, revealing its depths slowly over hours.Promise
