Shades Wood by Armaf is a spicy, woody scent for men, with a prominent rosy-floral side and only a little citrus to lighten it. It smells dark and warm rather than fresh.

It opens with rose and geranium, a green, slightly peppery kind of rose, lifted by citrus. The heart is where the spice comes in: cumin brings a warm, almost skin-like heat, while cloves and pepper add a dry, sharp bite. The base is made of oud, cedar and sandalwood, which together give a smoky, resinous woodiness with a smooth, creamy finish.

About half of wearers find it long lasting, and most describe the projection as strong or at least moderate, so a light hand is sensible. It is voted overwhelmingly for winter and autumn and for night-time, which points to evenings out, cold weather and anyone who likes a bold, spiced rose-and-oud style rather than a clean daytime scent.

Shades Wood — for men fragrance by Armaf. Top notes: Rose, Geranium, Citruses. Heart notes: Cloves, Cumin, Pepper. Base notes: Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, Cedar. — Parfica open fragrance database
