Description
Shaik is a mysterious prince of the desert, gorgeous and powerful, invisible and ever-present he gives riches with his generous hand and blessed are those who meet him… Shaik is a selective fragrance line born in Arabia, in fairy-taley Bahrain, created without much restriction in components, as a fairytale does not know limitations, as well as its founder Mohammed Al Asfoor in his desire to present it to us.
The bottle of the women’s fragrance (40ml (1.39 fl.oz.)) is designed in a shape of traditional short double bladed dagger called khunja, and is reminiscent of seductive curves of a woman’s body…
The composition is created of spices as well, with woodsy, musk, and wild flowers notes, only softer and feminine.

Opulent Shaik Classic No 33 was launched in 2007.

Vanilla, Flowers and Iris.
This is a fragrance that smells really good, it’s sweet, spicy, vanilla, powdery and with a spectacular output with vanilla, tonka, peony and heliotrope, iris and coriander and that makes it soon become a kind of flower lollipop and of infusions.
For me it is comparable to Mystique Musc de Al-Haramain but much better in everything. It is a safe bet for a woman. Very feminine, formal and different.
To my taste, too many things happen in this perfume and in general it prevents you from focusing attention.
It is for a mature person and it is for formal dressing.
Sillage of a meter during 6 hours and in the skin it remains other twelve. My wife has loved it.
7,5 out of 10. Would I buy it for my wife?: I do not know

Wow! It is not what I was expecting to smell out of a dagger shaped bottle. It’s a powdery floral with moderate sillage and longevity. It’s very elegant and classy like a lady who doesn’t find the need to announce herself to be noticed.

A beautiful perfume! Classy fresh powdery vanilla with spicy undertones. Complex and long lasting. I will buy this one again. My signature scent. I really love it.

I want to test it can soemone send me sample please?

Sorry but at over 5 bucks per ml I just don’t see it. It’s a lovely fragrance and all but damn!! It’s a floral/gourmand for those that don’t like em too sweet. Sort of in the same range as Vanillary by Lush? Maybe I am wrong but I prefer the Lush over this and kudos for the Lush being unisex. I only had 1/4 of a dab on sample to judge this by but this is what I feel. It is extremely long lasting and is a vanilla for adults but I am sure you can find something equal to suit you at a fraction of the cost.

On me this opens as a spicy cloud of vanilla, heliotrope, and cashmere musk. I haven’t quite put my finger on what’s so spicy about it but I have to suppose it’s a certain coriander mixing with tonka and cashmeran. It’s a perfect blending of dry aromatic and powdery soft textures. It has something spicy (and ambery) in common with the vintage Tocade, now that I think of it, and also a sweetish baby powder talcum feel, especially from a distance. More toned down here though, to me it’s definitely a HELIOTROPE and CORIANDER dominant scent, on me.
After an hour or so the spicy top calms down and heliotrope rises even more. If you’re a fan of Montales, think of this in a similar way you would their openings – spray it, go about your business, and come back in an hour or so. If you’re a fan of cashmeran, heliotrope, or spiced, drier vanillas, this could be a huge hit! The longevity and the presentation are what justify the high prices here for sure. Also the transformation through the stages is fun. To make it less intense, I suggest spraying legs to let the wafts come to you! (Inner thighs/ankles work well with juuuust a touch to the wrists.)

I find this very… basic. Considering the price of the stuff, I expected butterflies and rainbows and unicorns and happiness. This just smells like a nice clean floral on me. Not bad but nothing life changing.

its an amazing fragrance and believe me you can not compare it to burberys body as some one mentioned above maybe she got confused because she smelled both of them simultaneously..any way back to shaik it isa sweet mellow and ultra feminine fragrance that actually lasts until the next day yet its not over powering .it doesnt give you a headache.its very nice that’s the least i can say from my humble point of view.it has a magical vibe to it and its not so oriental nor does it represent arabin taste in perfumery it has a more rounded international scent to it its cosmopolitan with a bit of lushness and richness,,it has vanilla musk and sandalwood mixed with soft flowers it turns powdery

i just sprayed it tody after 3 years i had it on a far shelf and i never reach to it..i usually spray it when i am out perfume smelling for it goes well with most of my blends and lasts forever..
i almost forgot how beautiful it smells its a truly unique perfume very stylish very feminine very sensuale ..mysterious ..smells like a heavenly medely of strange flowers or musks and vanila and some tropical unique notes its warm yet shere its bright yet comforting..something about it makes me want to cuddle every time i ware it its not too pungent or in your face its a skin scent and mellows down and blends in with you as one and develops beautifully not the normal baby powder but very fine sophisticated full of bliss..just use it within a year or 2 max from buying it it tends to change unlike other oriental dark jewels that get better with age..

Most of all I feel the peony, musk and tonka beans notes in this fragrance. It smells gourmand and floral at the same time.
I like this fragrance. It’s good enough.

Sweet, lovely, interesting, complex, intense, zesty and oriental. All these things fit Shaik classic no 33. I thought the bottle was amazing, but now I take a good look at the picture; it looks like an alien-mermaid! What? It didn’t look like that in the shop… Anyway, the perfume is great, though I have to say it reminds me so much of another perfume! And I don’t know which one it is… Am I utterly mistaking if I’m guessing ‘Delices de Cartier’? It has some smooth fruity gourmandiness that delices the cartier has too. Like it a lot, could say I almost love it, but that pricetaaaaaggg! 40 ml, 270 euros! Guess most of the price goes to the bottle though… Anyhow, not likely I would ever buy it for so much, but it ís a good perfume. Really.
KOTMP – :
Tried it today and must say that Burberry´s “Body” is almost alike!!! Of course not completly the same, but very very much similar, because i have instantly tested both in the department store. Fresh, flowery and reminds me a bit of an rahat-loukum but not oriental at all! It is a bit oily and SA said this one is more like a pure perfume concentration. Great lasting power (over 20hours now) and sillage, but i guess i won´t spend almost 200euros for 40ml of perfume, since i guess most of the money goes for a very beautiful bottle, which i don´t care for actually.

GrishaDanks – :
I received it as a gift from my husband and it truly reflects the romantic desert prince he is to me. It echoes romance and love.. The box has sweet messages of passion written on it in english and arabic. The fragrance is divine and it is the best scent i’ve ever smelt.. I cant get over it 🙂 Everything about it is stunning and royal from the packaging to the scent.. Totally unique and incomparable! Just like the One who gave it to me! 🙂 I Luuuurv it! X
KyzjaTV – :

frani – :
A beautiful and very complex fragrance, I think the rose and vanilla are in the center of it. Gourmand and sensual, with great lasting power, and remarkable.
