Shaouq

Shaouq, a 2022 fragrance from Anfas, combines gourmand, floral and citrus characters equally, with smaller woody and aromatic touches.

The name means longing in Arabic. Raspberry gives the opening a tart, juicy sweetness, while mandarin orange and bergamot bring a bright, fresh citrus sparkle. Lavender adds a clean, aromatic herbal note. In the heart, rose provides a velvety floral softness and orris root a cool, powdery elegance. The base is warm and creamy: vanilla brings sweetness and sandalwood a smooth, milky woodiness that rounds everything off.

The profile suggests cooler months, evenings and romantic occasions, though the fresh citrus and lavender also make it wearable during the day. It is meant to be worn by anyone and suits people who like fruity, powdery florals with a soft vanilla-sandalwood base. Its mix of berries, rose and iris gives it an easy, approachable sweetness rather than a heavy or dark character, and it should work as a comfortable everyday scent.
