Sheikha
Fragrance notes
Character
Sheikha opens with a bright mix of mandarin orange and red berries, softened by the green lift of neroli and a faint bite of pink pepper. The rose sits just behind them, fresh rather than heavy, giving the start a clean and airy feeling.
The heart turns toward white and yellow florals. Jasmine and ylang-ylang lead, while lily-of-the-valley and cyclamen add a cool, dewy touch. Heliotrope rounds the edges with a gentle powder that keeps the flowers from feeling sharp or thin.
The base brings amber and vanilla together with sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and musk. The result is warm and slightly resinous, with a sweet depth that stays close to the skin. The woods keep the sweetness grounded and the patchouli adds a quiet earthiness.
A heavy wool coat and a cold evening walk suit this scent, when the air is crisp and the streetlights reflect off damp pavement.
