Shanaya

Shanaya, from Riiffs Perfumes, is a sweet, musky fragrance released in 2023 as a feminine scent. Gourmand sweetness and musk lead equally, with woods and flowers each about half as strong.

Tropical fruits give a juicy, sunny opening, ripe and sweet. Orchid follows with a smooth, creamy floral note, and heliotrope adds a soft, powdery, almond-vanilla sweetness that bridges the flowers and the gourmand side. The base is warm and cosy: vanilla and a gourmand accord give a dessert-like richness, sandalwood a creamy woodiness, and musk a smooth, clean, skin-like softness.

It suits autumn and winter, evenings and relaxed weekends, and the fruit makes it cheerful enough for warmer days too. It should appeal to someone who enjoys sweet, fruity-creamy scents with a soft, powdery musk finish, comforting and easy to like rather than sharp or austere.
