Sharina Rasasi for women

Sweet, feminine woody and resinous amber with delicious notes of saffron and subtle floral accents.
A must try!

This is a totally exotic and magical sandalwood/spice/flowers potion, the loveliest, warmest, most feminine use of spice and resins yet! Delicate - yes, delicate spiciness, who knew this was possible? - yet with great sillage and lasting power.

I do not "get" leather or civet at all from Sharina, despite the listed notes, to my nose this is sandalwood, resin and flower gorgeousness, without a hint of animalic anything at all.

If you like the original sandalwood laden-Samsara, Kenzo Flower Oriental, Organza Indecence or Kenzo Amour Le Parfum, you will adore this. Its prettier and better made than any of the Western versions of sandalwood, spice and flowers, goodness, even the bottle (pressed glass, metal and pale blue rhinestones), like the fragrance, is prettier and more substantial!

A 9/10 for the fragrance and the lasting power, a 10/10 for the lovely packaging.

Note: Sharina can be purchased from several online sources. Many of my Arabian perfumes, Sharina included, come from miskshoppe.com - a company out of New Jersey - whom I have had good experiences with. And no, I am not affiliated.
