Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud White: An Oud That Performs in Real Heat

The assumption that oud is only for cool evenings has been dismantled by modern perfumery — and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud White is a prime example. Built on Oud, Floral, Musky, Fresh, this EDP from Swiss Arabian handles serious heat with composure that lighter fragrances cannot match. Released in 2022, its formula was built with the understanding that oud belongs in the heat as much as the cold — the climate scores below bear that out.
