Russian Shawl: A Warm Spicy Oriental from 1970
Русская Шаль (Russian Shawl) by Северное сияние is an Oriental fragrance for men and women launched in 1970. It was composed by perfumer Marina Somova.
Listed ingredients include amber, sandalwood, forest fruits, jasmine, rose, spiced notes and clove. The overall profile is described as warm spicy, woody and amber-like, with white floral, rosy, fruity and powdery facets.
The defining impression is warmth. Spiced notes and clove set a cozy, warm spicy tone that runs through the composition.
Sandalwood and amber provide structure. The woody side keeps it grounded, while amber adds soft depth and roundness.
Jasmine and rose shape the floral heart. Jasmine brings a bright white-floral lift, rose adds a more classic rosy touch. Forest fruits contribute a fruity nuance that keeps the Oriental from feeling too heavy.
The drydown leans powdery and floral, smooth and close-wearing. Rated 4.34 out of 5 from 68 ratings, it stands as a historic example of a 1970s unisex Oriental.
It will appeal to fans of classic warm, spicy Orientals that work for both men and women, and to anyone exploring the work of Marina Somova.
A well-balanced 1970 Oriental: amber, sandalwood, flowers and spice in a warm, powdery, unisex blend.
