Shuhrah Pour Femme
by Rasasi
Shuhrah Pour Femme by Rasasi is a powerful, aromatic chypre with a modern Eastern twist, blending white floral notes with herbal, citrusy, and earthy accords. It opens with a bold blend of lemon, sage, and patchouli, creating a fresh yet dense and aromatic profile reminiscent of a forest floor or herbal apothecary. The floral heart features jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and iris, wrapped in a subtle, clean musk and ambergris, with a faint, harmonious oud presence that never feels overwhelming. The scent evolves into a deep, slightly resinous and earthy drydown, where white floral and patchouli notes linger with remarkable intensity and longevity. It performs exceptionally well, projecting strongly from the start, with a heavy sillage that can fill a room with minimal application. Despite being marketed as feminine, its herbal-forward opening and strong presence make it feel unisex in practice, suitable for confident, adventurous wearers who enjoy rich, non-cloying fragrances with complexity and longevity.
Pros
