About Al Shafaq
Al Shafaq: A Woody Oriental of Raspberry and Oud
Herum introduces Al Shafaq, a new woody-oriental fragrance for men and women. Created by perfumer Yousef Al Ibrahim, it debuts in 2026.
The scent plays on the tension between bright raspberry and dense oud wood. It's a bold, addictive blend that feels both contemporary and timeless.
The opening burst of raspberry is juicy and alive, immediately grabbing your attention. It's a fruity note with an unexpected edge, thanks to the shadowy woods rising beneath it.
At the heart, vanilla and rose entwine. The rose is powdery and refined, while the vanilla wraps it in a soft, creamy embrace. Their pairing is elegant, warm, and quietly sensual.
The base is built on sandalwood, birch, and oud wood. Birch adds a smoky, leathery twist, while oud brings deep, resinous complexity. Sandalwood smooths everything with its buttery texture.
Key accords include woods, rose, vanilla, oud, leather, warm spices, fruit, and a subtle powderiness. The composition feels rich but never heavy, with a well-rounded silhouette.
Though Al Shafaq is a brand-new release, it already carries a sense of confidence. Its longevity is solid and the sillage is noticeable without being overwhelming. Best worn in cooler weather or evenings.
This perfume is for those who appreciate woody-oriental fragrances with a gourmand twist. It works beautifully for anyone seeking a distinctive scent for nights out or cozy fall days.
Al Shafaq is an impressive addition to Herum's line. The combination of raspberry, rose, and smoky woods creates a memorable signature, shaped by Yousef Al Ibrahim's expert hand.
