About Afrodite
Afrodite by Shaka: An Oriental Floral That Divides Opinion
Afrodite is a perfume from the house of Shaka, released during the 2020s. It is intended for both men and women and belongs to the oriental floral olfactory family.
Built around citrus, blackcurrant, rose, patchouli and vanilla, the composition has received a cool reception, with an average user rating of just 2 out of 5 (from two ratings).
The top notes are bergamot, mandarin, orange and amber, giving a fresh yet resinous opener. The heart features blackcurrant and rose, presenting a fruity-floral contrast.
The base includes patchouli, vanilla, cedar, ambergris, talc and cashmere wood, which supplies a sweet, powdery, woody foundation.
Among the primary accords are citrus, woody, fruity, amber, fresh spicy, patchouli and powdery. This complexity hints at an ambitious concept, though the execution seems to have let down early reviewers.
With only two ratings available, the score should be interpreted with caution. Still, the 2.0 average suggests a noticeable disappointment among those who have tested it.
Because it is unisex, the scent invites a broad audience. Yet its oriental and powdery character won't suit those who prefer clean or marine perfumes.
Admirers of oriental, powdery and woody scents who like unisex fragrances with a strong identity.
Afrodite is an ambitious effort, but its execution appears to miss the mark. Best for the curious who enjoy making up their own minds.
