The Character and History of the Fragrance
Feli Perfumes Zahid is a rich unisex fragrance launched by Feli Perfumes in 2024.
The brand originates from the UAE and specializes in expressive perfume compositions created for those who appreciate a noticeable presence and a deep development on the skin.
Zahid belongs to the oriental and leather fragrance families, so it is not a light everyday scent, but rather a striking perfume statement with character.
The composition was created by Dora Tapos.
In her interpretation, spicy, leathery and balsamic nuances come together in a dense, almost tactile fragrance: at once dry, warm, resinous and slightly wild.
Zahid makes a confident entrance within the first few minutes, then gradually becomes softer and deeper while retaining its distinctive silhouette.
Olfactive Profile and Development
The composition is built around the contrast between a bright spicy-citrusy opening, a leathery heart and a dense animalic base.
The top notes are energetic and sparkling, the heart adds dry floral spice and texture, while the dry-down leaves a dark balsamic trail on the skin.
This combination makes Zahid especially appealing to lovers of oriental perfumery, leather and unusual animalic accords.
Balance plays an important role: mandarin does not turn the fragrance into a fresh citrus scent, but merely illuminates the spicy opening.
Patchouli and the leather accord give the fragrance depth, while labdanum and styrax create a warm, resinous foundation.
Castoreum adds a distinctive animalic facet, making the fragrance feel full-bodied, daring and memorable.
Concentration, Sillage and Wearability
Zahid is presented in the perfume extract concentration. This accounts for its dense presence and rich development on the skin.
Its sillage is described as very strong: the fragrance is noticeable in the air and can linger for a long time after application, making it especially suitable for those who enjoy compliment-getting, distinctive and unconventional compositions.
The fragrance is positioned as unisex and is not tied to any particular gender image. On one skin it may smell more leathery and dry; on another, warmer, more resinous and spicier.
Zahid develops most harmoniously in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk, at a meeting or at an occasion where a distinctive perfume accent is appropriate.
No precise recommendations for applying it to skin or clothing are provided in the database.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with one spray on the skin, assess the development and add another if needed. On fabric, the fragrance should be applied particularly cautiously, after testing its reaction on an inconspicuous area.
Similar Fragrances and Overall Impression
In terms of mood, Zahid may appeal to fans of Yves Saint Laurent Opium, as well as Tiziana Terenzi Chimaera and Mugler A*Men Pure Leather.
At the same time, Zahid retains its own individuality, distinguished by its combination of mandarin sparkle, clove-like spice, leather and an animalic resinous base.
This is a choice for those seeking not simply a pleasant scent, but a rich fragrance with a dramatic character and a noticeable trail.
