Bejar Shadow is a very interesting proposal that I got to try thanks to an excellent person like Bofifa. I think it’s appreciated better if you have an idea of how some oriental cut aromas smell, even though it was created by a Spanish house. It’s not an easy scent; if you’re not slightly accustomed to these types of perfumes, it might be challenging, but if it blends well with your body chemistry, it will pleasantly surprise you. The opening is sharp with medium-high potency, quickly transforming into something more wearable with delicious woody and gourmand notes, like some caramel. The quality is notable, resulting in spicy and balsamic moments throughout. Longevity is good with moderate-to-high sillage, depending on the number of sprays. It’s worth exploring other creations from this house.
Once again, Darkbeat’s benefactor hand is letting me enjoy this SHADOW by BÉJAR. It presents a woody and spicy opening where the scent of cashmere wood, sandalwood, and patchouli intermingle. There’s a spicy touch, but not of saffron or nutmeg as the description claims, but rather black pepper. If anything, I’d remove one sharp note of white musk that clashes with the previous notes. Oh, that musk; how difficult it is to use and how much damage it can do to some perfumes! SHADOW has a familiar tone of some perfumes from Dubai; it could even be one of the fragrances from Rasasi or Al Haramain. It possesses a very typical accord in these perfumes, resulting from a spicy-musky blend that evokes pepper, turmeric, saffron, cardamom, and nutmeg, but without any of them clearly standing out. It also moves between a gourmand memory of a spiced Arab stew, mixed with the classic rose-oud combo and intense white musk. As it dries down, it turns into a woody sweetness arising from patchouli, sandalwood, amber, and jasmine. Both the bottle and the box are simple and beautiful, in terracotta tones and rounded shapes like an Arab amphora, stamped with a cap and golden letters. The Spanish brand BÉJAR is a great unknown to the public, and it’s a real shame.
Another hit from Béjar, that one which mixes incredibly expensive niche perfumes with jewelry at popular prices; you can feel the care and respect for the enthusiast. Shadow is a bomb of woods with a base of creamy, sweet amber. The opening is rough and spicy, with more Arab touches than Western tastes. The amber appears exuberant, almost wet, warm, with ashy and leather nuances. Despite the strong opening, it’s not scary: the density of notes calms down quickly, leaving a versatile, pleasant, and easy-to-wear woody amber. It’s masculine, exotic, but just friendly enough. It’s so appreciated that the bottle empties almost without you noticing; you always feel like wearing it, maybe more in the cold. Projection is good for the first two hours, then moderate, and longevity is excellent. Ideal for an Arab touch without it seeming like you forgot your turban.
Another Béjar discovery that caught me off guard: a precious and delicate wood, totally unisex. Upon opening, spicy notes add a spicy touch to a wet, fine wood, as if there were cinnamon. Then, the wood gains body, starting dry and powdery, like powdery wood, until transforming into something caramelized, sweet, and warm, like a fine cream. The dry down is very soft and I loved it. Excellent longevity, more than 9 hours, with a powerful sillage at the beginning and moderate after. Ideal for cool climates, day or night. Recommended if you’re looking for fine and delicate woods, without excess.
Another Béjar discovery that caught me by surprise: a precious and delicate wood, totally unisex. At the start, spicy notes set the rhythm, offering a soft, wet, and spicy wood, as if it were fine wood with a hint of cinnamon. Then, the wood gains body and takes the lead throughout the development, but at the beginning, it feels dry and powdery, like a very fine, powdery wood. Over time, it evolves into a caramelized, sweet, and warm wood, similar to a fine cream with woods. The dry down is super soft and delicate; I loved it. It’s unisex and lasts more than 9 hours with a powerful sillage at the beginning and moderate after the first hour. Ideal for cool climates, day or night. Recommended for those seeking fine and delicate woods, without exaggerations or potent woods.
