Shaal Nur is a perfume named after an Indian princess. Its oriental composition is based upon incense and flowers, rose, spices and aromatic herbs dominating it. Perfume is very adjustable, unusual and light. It opens in a refreshing wave of citruses, which blends in with fresh spices, rosemary, tarragon and rose. Among the middle tones there’s also Karo- Karounde (Leptactina Senegambica), mysterious herb that origins from tropical West Africa with its floral exotic scent. There are several spices of incense that dominate the composition of the base, along with nutmeg, rose tree, vanilla, amber, patchouli and vetiver. The perfume was produced in 1997.

Do get the citrus right from the start. This is a fresh starting fragrance due to the rosemary and tarragon adding an aromatic opening. It only takes about 15 minutes for the herbs to fade and the rose and incense to move forward. More masculine feeling even with the floral notes so I would say it's more a unisex fragrance.

What can I say....This is one fantastic fragrance. I always complain about perfumes disappearing on me but this one...it lasts and lasts and...you get the point.
I sprayed in the morning before work and I could still smell the scent the morning after.
It is the perfect balance of citrus, spices, herbs, incense and woods. It is very masculine but still works perfectly on woman.Not too dry or butch. Got compliments from my husband who usually is a big fan of super-feminine florals. And I would love to smell it on him too.
Shaal nur will most definatly have a place in my collection. Highly recommended. The best Etro that I have tested

Great fragrance! Opens with an amazing herbal note that develops into warmer scent with subtle accords of roses, citrus and amber, but you can still feel the bitter herbst. Perfect for every aura, every time I wear it I'm surprised hoe lovely it is. Very, very, very good staying power, medium sillage.

I really wanted to like Shaal Nur. It opens up with a light, refreshing lemon with a touch of wood. Just like cleaning my dining room table with Pledge wood polish. An hour later - Fruit Loops cereal. Another hour, it was pretty much gone. Much to my disappointment, only the lemon accord develops on my skin!

I had a very different experience with Shaal Nur. I love incense and woods, especially if rose is involved, and that's why I was interested in trying this one.

I am finally beginning to understand that either my skin or my nose magnifies patchouli, and most of the time this note is very unpleasant to me. I like the hint of it in Organza Indecence and in Tocade, and I thought I'd be able to handle it in Shaal Nur. I can't. I haven't felt like I have to scrub, but I'm waiting for it to wear off so I can go put on something I like.

I get some light citrus on top, but I also feel like I'm picking up this huge patchouli rug in order to find the citrus crumbs underneath it. Later, I find the herbs and rose to be aromatic and pleasant, wafting up from that patchouli rug. Still later, sweet amber and incense arise from the patchouli - but the patchouli never really fades.

Shaal Nur is described on several perfume blogs as being unisex, and I think that's a more appropriate designation than feminine, as it's classified here. On me, it is on the verge of being too masculine - not that it would make anyone sprout chest hair, but I think I might like to smell it on someone who already had chest hair.

I do feel very light, quiet citrus on top notes but it is not disturbing citrus scent as usually I dont like citrus scents. It fades away quickly and all I can smell then is an incense sinking in spices which is an unusual and pleasant combination. Lasting power on me is good and definitely I would recommend to try this one for incense lovers. The best to me so far of all ETRO fragrances that I've tried. Nicely done.

I agree that Shaal Nur is similar to Shalimar.
It opens with refreshing notes of resin, cedar and lemon, then comes the softer and spicier part of the fragrance- rosemary, coriander, incense and vanilla.
Enchanting combination of citrus and vanilla, both fresh and warm. I wear it now, and I would wear it in spring as well.

For me it granddaughter Shalimar's - young, modern, easy, amusing, full air, enlightened. Just the same oriental and beautiful as famous grandmother .
