Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

In the world of men’s perfumery, there are fragrances that do not shout for attention yet still make people turn their heads.
D.Strict is exactly such a fragrance—a restrained yet charismatic release from the Swiss brand Strellson, launched in 2011.
Founded by the former owners of Hugo Boss, the company is renowned for its impeccable taste and attention to detail, both of which are perfectly reflected in this fragrance.
D.Strict is positioned as a men’s fragrance belonging to the Spicy and Woody families.
Its eau de toilette concentration makes it light and comfortable to wear, while its trail is said by the brand to be barely perceptible—an ideal choice for those who value personal space and do not seek to “outshout” those around them.
D.Strict is inspired by the energy of megacities—crisp, composed, yet with a spark beneath the surface. Like a well-tailored suit, it opens with an invigorating freshness before enveloping you in warmth.
It is versatile: suitable for both the office and evening walks, especially during the cooler months.
Notes of Virginia cedar and patchouli create a refined base, while spicy accents add character. This is a fragrance for a man who knows his worth but has no need for grand statements.
If you enjoy D.Strict, consider Chanel Allure Homme for its woody-spicy elegance, the richer and more complex The Vagabond Prince Bass Solo, or the warm, resinous Ajmal Accord Boise.
Each is a variation on the theme of masculine restraint and style.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of D.Strict is built on contrasts. The top notes—spicy black pepper and tart ginger—create an energetic opening.
At the heart of the fragrance, resinous incense, herbaceous lavender, refreshing mint, and noble saffron come together.
The base—earthy patchouli, sweet vanilla, and dry Virginia cedar—leaves a warm, comforting trail.
