The Fragrance Emerald Shine Extrait
Description
Emerald Shine contrasts a bright citrus opening against one of the deepest, most resinous bases in The Fragrance's lineup. Grapefruit, mandarin, and bergamot give a sparkling first impression, but the heart quickly pivots to cardamom, saffron, and frankincense, layered over a dense foundation of agarwood, leather, patchouli, and vetiver. The fragrance reads as a contemporary oriental-woody: the kind of scent that starts fresh and clean, then gradually reveals its darker character over hours. Unisex, though the leather-oud drydown gives it a confident, slightly masculine edge.
Scent Character
- Woody — 35%
- Fresh — 25%
- Oud — 19%

Translation: A woody-fresh core with genuine oud and warm spice. The citrus top keeps it from being heavy, while the patchouli-vetiver base grounds the composition. The overall effect is sophisticated and layered.

FAQ
Does Emerald Shine contain real oud?
Yes. Agarwood is listed in the base alongside leather and cypriol, and the drydown carries the characteristic resinous depth of genuine oud.
Is it a fresh fragrance or a heavy one?
Both. The opening is distinctly fresh with citrus, but the base is unmistakably heavy with oud, patchouli, and leather. The transition between the two is the point of the composition.
How does it project?
Strong in the first two to three hours, then it settles to a close sillage. The base materials mean people close to you will still catch it well after six hours.
Is it for men or women?
Unisex. The citrus-juniper top is gender-neutral, and the oud-leather base works on anyone who likes woody orientals.
