Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Parfum de Mahzen Aurea is a unisex fragrance from the Turkish brand Parfum de Mahzen, released in 2025.
The release is part of the Arcana Series collection and comes in an extrait de parfum concentration, which gives it a rich development and a very strong sillage.
The fragrance was created by perfumers Özge Öğütçü and Eren Öğütçü.
Their idea is built around a striking contrast: juicy citrus and fruit notes gradually meet spicy, floral, and woody-leathery nuances, creating an expressive fragrance with a distinctive character.
Aurea opens with a bright, cool, and energetic impression.
A citrus accord of bergamot, lemon, orange, and cedrat is supported by blackcurrant, peach, mint, and coriander, making the opening sparkling, green, and slightly spicy at once.
As it develops, the composition becomes softer and more expansive.
Apricot adds sunny fruity sweetness, basil and turmeric bring aromatic depth, while rose, jasmine, tuberose, and marigold create a rich floral heart without adhering to a strictly gendered style.
In the base, the fruity theme takes on a warmer, more sensual nuance.
Fig and dates give it greater density, ambrette adds musky softness, while sandalwood and a suede accord leave a smooth woody-leathery trail on the skin.
As a unisex perfume, Aurea will appeal to those who enjoy noticeable compositions with an active sillage and a complex transition from a fresh opening to a warm base.
The fragrance may be especially appealing in spring, autumn, and cool summer weather, when its citrus-fruity notes unfold beautifully in the air and the rich base does not feel overly heavy.
Because of its extrait concentration and very strong sillage, it is best to start with a cautious amount, especially when trying it for the first time.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided, so the ideal intensity should be determined individually, taking the temperature, room size, and the sensitivity of those around you into account.
To find a similar mood, consider The Spirit of Dubai Turath, as well as Edgardio Chilini Lemon Sorbet and Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill.
These fragrances share an interest in bright fruity-citrus notes, but Aurea stands out with its spicier floral heart and expressive suede-woody base.
Parfum de Mahzen Aurea is a good choice for those looking not for a neutral everyday fragrance, but for a composition with a striking presence.
Its fruity, floral, and spicy facets unfold dynamically, while its dense sillage makes the perfume a noticeable choice for an evening, a special occasion, or any situation when you want to emphasize your individuality.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open with a combination of bergamot, blackcurrant, citron, coriander, lemon, mint, orange, and peach.
This opening blends cool citrus freshness with juicy fruity and green nuances.
The heart features apricot, basil, jasmine, marigold, rose, tuberose, and turmeric.
The floral theme is rich, while the spicy aromatic accents add depth and a modern expressiveness.
The base notes consist of ambrette, dates, fig, sandalwood, and a suede accord. Together, they create a warm, soft, and distinctly sensual finish with a dense woody-leathery trail.
