About Русская Шаль (Russian Shawl)
Russian Shawl: A Cosy Spiced Oriental from 1970
Composed by Marina Somova for Северное сияние, Русская Шаль (Russian Shawl) was introduced in 1970. It is an Oriental scent made for both women and men.
The stated blend features amber, sandalwood, forest fruits, jasmine, rose, spiced notes and clove, with an accord profile that is warm and spiced, woody and ambery, alongside floral, white floral, fruity and powdery touches.
Spice is at the centre. Clove and other spiced notes create a cosy warmth that defines the fragrance from start to finish.
Amber and sandalwood lend support underneath. Sandalwood supplies the woody framework, amber the mellow, resinous depth.
At the floral core, jasmine offers a luminous white-floral aspect, while rose brings a familiar, romantic character. The forest fruits add a gently fruity lift to the Oriental base.
Towards the close, a soft powdery and floral finish emerges. With an average score of 4.34 out of 5 across 68 ratings, it remains a notable historic unisex Oriental of the seventies.
Suited to those who enjoy traditional warm and powdery Orientals, worn by women and men alike, and to collectors interested in Marina Somova’s creations.
A coherent 1970s Oriental of woods, amber, blossoms and spice, finishing soft, powdery and distinctly unisex.
