Armaf SHK Collection · Honeyed Chypre Oriental · Unisex
Honey, oud, and a forbidden garden.
Bergamot, mandarin, pink pepper, nutmeg, elemi and honey open into jasmine, orange blossom, cinnamon, cashmere, saffron and patchouli over a pear-raspberry-violet-leather-musk-oakmoss-amber-oud-vetiver base.
About This Fragrance
Armaf SHK IV opens with a radiant burst of Italian bergamot and juicy mandarin, like sunlight pouring over a Persian market. A drizzle of golden honey swirls through — rich but never cloying, like nectar dripping from a silver spoon. Pink pepper, nutmeg and elemi add complexity right from the start, signalling that SHK IV is built for serious fragrance lovers.
At its core, jasmine and orange blossom unfold like a forbidden garden in full bloom — creamy and intoxicating, supported by cinnamon, cashmere wood, saffron, and patchouli. The dry-down reveals succulent pear and tart raspberry, their sweetness shadowed by violet's powdered elegance, before leather, oakmoss, amber, oud, and vetiver settle in dark, resinous, and endlessly addictive. SHK IV is extrait-strength luxury at an accessible price.
