Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyookh Eau de Parfum 100ml Special Edition

Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyookh Special Edition – Eau de Parfum with Oud, Sage and Vetiver

• Top note: oud, cedar
• Heart note: sage, lavender, rosemary
• Base note: vetiver, patchouli

Oud in the opening rather than the base, herbs in the heart, vetiver and patchouli below. A special edition with an inverted structure.

Oud right at the front

In most oriental compositions oud sits in the base, where it has time to unfold. Lattafa turns that around for this special edition and places it in the opening, together with cedar.

The difference is noticeable from the first moment. The fragrance begins dark and dry, with no bright introduction, and the resinous depth is present at once. Anyone who knows the standard version of Sheikh Al Shuyukh will recognise the kinship in the herbal heart and the difference in the entry.

Three herbs in the middle

Sage, lavender and rosemary form the heart. Sage is the most bitter of the three, rosemary the sharpest, lavender the softest, and together they make the aromatic signature of the line.

Their task here differs from the standard version. There they lead the fragrance; here they lift the oud out of the opening and give it air. After about half an hour this middle stands in full and carries for several hours.

Vetiver and patchouli as the ground

The base is kept lean and works with only two materials. Vetiver brings an earthy, grassy note with a smoky edge, patchouli a dark, slightly camphorous depth.

Both are earthy, and that is the consistency of this composition. The fragrance stays dry and dark from top to bottom, with no sweet layer in between. After a few hours an earthy remainder sits close to the skin and carries into the evening.

What sets the special edition apart

The Special Edition carries its own design and its own formula. That makes it more than new packaging, which is rare for special editions.

Anyone torn between the two versions can use this as a guide: the standard version opens on citrus with lemongrass and carries the oud in the base, reading brighter and more suited to daily wear. The Special Edition begins dark and stays there, aimed at everyone who wants wood and earth at the front.

Lattafa and the name

Sheikh Al Shuyookh means sheikh of sheikhs. Lattafa Perfumes produces in Dubai and runs several versions under this name, of which this is the darkest.

The bottle holds 100 ml and comes with a spray applicator. The concentration shows clearly in the longevity: one application in the morning stays with you into the late evening, and on clothing the fragrance lasts for days.

Application and audience

Apply to neck and wrists and let it settle, do not rub. Go sparingly at first, as oud and patchouli work clearly even from a small amount. For more presence in winter you can add some to your coat collar. Store the bottle in the dark at room temperature.

The fragrance is aimed at men who like dry earthy compositions and want oud without sweet company. Wearable all year, in a smaller amount in summer and more generously in winter. Anyone looking at Lattafa for a fragrance with a clear signature will find one of the most distinctive options in the range in this special edition.

Why is oud in the top note?

Lattafa inverted the structure deliberately. The fragrance therefore begins dark and dry rather than developing towards it over hours.
