About Al Shafaq
Al Shafaq: A Woody Oriental with Raspberry and Oud
Herum presents Al Shafaq, a new woody-oriental fragrance for men and women. The work of perfumer Yousef Al Ibrahim, it launches in 2026.
Al Shafaq weaves a luminous raspberry note through a dark, resinous base of oud and birch. The result is an evocative and thoroughly modern scent.
The top note is a vibrant raspberry, crisp and mouth-watering. It leads with a playful sweetness, yet the deeper woody undertones ensure the composition retains a grown-up, mysterious character.
In the heart, vanilla and rose meet in a delicate dance. The rose is soft, almost velvety, while vanilla lends a gentle warmth. This central duo feels comforting and richly textured.
The base is anchored by sandalwood, birch, and oud wood. Birch supplies a smoky, leather-like edge, while oud offers an earthy, balsamic depth. Sandalwood provides a creamy counterpoint, tying the notes together seamlessly.
Characterised by woody, rosy, vanillic, and oud accords, the fragrance also reveals cuir, warm spices, fruity touches, and a powdery trail. It's a complex scent that evolves beautifully on the skin.
Despite being a new launch, Al Shafaq demonstrates surprising maturity. Performance is strong, with good longevity and a moderate, confident sillage. It is suited to evening wear and cooler months, making it a fine choice for winter nights.
This fragrance will suit lovers of oriental woods who enjoy a hint of gourmand. It's an excellent pick for those who want a bold yet refined scent for cooler seasons and special occasions.
Al Shafaq stands out in Herum's portfolio. Its clever blend of fruit, florals, and smoky woods results in a distinctive, high-quality composition, courtesy of Yousef Al Ibrahim.
