Lattafa Shaheen Silver – Eau de Parfum with Blackcurrant, Rose and Oakmoss

• Top note: bergamot, blackcurrant
• Heart note: patchouli, rose
• Base note: oakmoss, musk, amber

Blackcurrant and bergamot above, rose and patchouli in the middle, oakmoss below. A chypre for men, dry and mature.

A chypre from Dubai

Chypre describes a structure that has belonged to the basic vocabulary of perfumery for over a hundred years: citrus above, blossom in the middle, oakmoss and resin below. Shaheen Silver follows this pattern almost by the book.

The origin is what makes it unusual. Chypre compositions mostly come from European houses; Lattafa takes up the construction here and adds a strong blackcurrant note in the opening.

Blackcurrant as the signature

Blackcurrant smells fruity and sharp at once, with a green, almost sulphurous edge. This peculiarity makes it one of the most distinctive fruit notes in perfumery.

Bergamot stands beside it and gives the opening its citrus clarity. This pair has opened many mens fragrances over recent decades, and Lattafa deliberately takes up that tradition here. Together they form an entry that reads fresh while keeping contour, far from the usual soft citrus openings.

Rose and patchouli in the heart

The rose stands restrained here and serves as a link. It brings fullness into the middle without becoming the theme, and it is grounded by patchouli.

Patchouli is a fixture in chypre fragrances. It smells earthy, dark and slightly camphorous and bridges the fruit in the opening and the moss in the base. This middle carries for several hours.

Oakmoss in the base

Oakmoss gives the fragrance its maturity. It smells earthy and dry, with a slightly leathery side, and has belonged to the framework of classic mens fragrances for decades.

Musk and amber lay warmth beside it and provide the hold. Oakmoss is used more sparingly in modern perfumery than it once was, which makes compositions like this rarer. Anyone who knows and likes the classic structure will find a treatment at Lattafa in Shaheen Silver at a price comparable fragrances rarely offer. After a few hours a dry mossy remainder stays on the skin that keeps close and carries into the evening.

For whom and how

Apply to neck and wrists and let it settle, do not rub. Go sparingly at first and top up at the collar if needed. Store the bottle in the dark at room temperature.

The structure also explains why this fragrance stays interesting for hours. Fruit, blossom and moss lie in clearly separated layers, and a different one steps forward depending on the time of day. In the morning the blackcurrant leads, in the afternoon the rose, in the evening the oakmoss, and this development is easy to follow on the skin.

Shaheen Silver is aimed at men who like dry, mature compositions. It suits the office, meetings and the evening equally and works all year round. Anyone who so far knows only sweet oriental fragrances from Lattafa will find a very different signature here.
