Shamoukh Perfume 30ml EDP Thameen Collection Lattafa

Shamoukh, an Arabic word evoking pride and high standing, is one of the stars of Lattafa's Thameen Collection, a range of concentrated 30ml eau de parfums designed to put genuine Arabian perfumery within everyone's reach. Do not let the compact bottle fool you. Shamoukh is a rich amber-woody composition built around rose, warm spice and oud wood, and it delivers a depth of character that belies both its size and its price. For newcomers to Middle Eastern fragrance, it is one of the easiest and most rewarding first steps you can take.

The Scent Journey

The Opening

Shamoukh opens with a balsamic sweetness threaded through velvety rose. The effect is immediately warm and inviting, resinous rather than fresh, like stepping into a perfume souk where rose petals and amber resins share the same air.

The Heart

The heart turns powdery and spiced. Soft, cosmetic powderiness wraps around a glowing spice accord, giving the fragrance a plush, traditional character with a distinctly Arabian rhythm. It is smooth and rounded here, never sharp, the rose from the opening still whispering underneath.

The Dry Down

The base settles into oud wood and sandalwood, warm, clean and quietly smoky. This is where Shamoukh earns its keep, drying down to a smooth woody-amber skin scent with a balsamic vanilla warmth that lasts deep into the day.

Fragrance Notes

• Top notes: Balsamic accord, rose
• Heart notes: Powdery notes, warm spices
• Base notes: Oud wood, sandalwood

Longevity and Performance

The Thameen Collection is known for punching well above its weight, and Shamoukh is no exception. Expect six to eight hours of wear from a few sprays, with a warm, close aura rather than a room-filling cloud. The 30ml format also makes it a perfect travel companion or pocket-sized signature.

When to Wear It

Suited to autumn and winter, when its amber and oud warmth can glow against the cold, Shamoukh also works beautifully on cool evenings year round. Wear it to dinners, gatherings and mosque or family occasions where a traditional, elegant scent is appreciated. It is a genuinely shared fragrance that sits comfortably on men and women alike.

Shamoukh Within the Lattafa Family

If Shamoukh sparks a love of Arabian woods, the majestic Sheikh Al Shuyukh Supreme and the resinous Badee Al Oud Oud for Glory are natural next steps in full-size form. You will find every Lattafa line we stock in our complete collection.
