SHIYAAKA SHADOW | Khadlaj

The Silhouette of Sophistication: A Modern Legend in the Shadows.

Step into the realm of enigmatic luxury with Shiyaaka Shadow by Khadlaj. Following the massive success of the original Shiyaaka Silver and Blue, Shadow is the most complex and daring addition to the collection. It is designed for the modern gentleman who moves with quiet confidence—a scent that is dark, aromatic, and deeply masculine.

Shiyaaka Shadow is a masterclass in the "Ambery-Fougere" genre. It captures a unique tension between fresh, spicy top notes and a deep, resinous base. It is the olfactory equivalent of a midnight-black luxury car: sleek, powerful, and undeniably high-end.

Shiyaaka Shadow is a rich, multi-layered composition that balances traditional Arabic intensity with a polished, Western-style refinement.

The Experience

• The Spicy Prelude (Top Notes): The fragrance opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of Black Pepper, Bergamot, and Nutmeg. This "shadowy" opening is spicy and zesty, providing an immediate sense of authority and energy.

• The Aromatic Heart (Middle Notes): The soul of the scent reveals a sophisticated blend of Lavender, Patchouli, and Geranium. The lavender provides a clean, barbershop elegance, while the patchouli adds an earthy, mysterious depth.

• The Resinous Foundation (Base Notes): The journey settles into a powerful, lingering finish of Amber, Cedarwood, and Vetyver. This provides a smoky, woody warmth that anchors the fragrance and ensures an impressive trail.
