Korean Perfumery: How K-Beauty Came to Fragrances
At first, the world fell in love with Korean creams and sheet masks. Then it was the turn of scent, ...
The house of Shaka presents Essential. A masculine fragrance belonging to the leather and citrus families. The fragrance belongs to the Collection for Man collection. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
The sillage is noticeable — present, but never overpowering. A couple of sprays will carry you through the whole day — longevity is firmly high. Country of origin — Italy. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
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 note pyramid of Essential unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Shaka is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Floral, Wood and Leather. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Citrus and Leather.
In the first seconds you meet invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot and Citrus accord.
In the heart you meet Olive flower and Rosewood holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Wood and Leather without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High indicates a stable lasting impression. In projection Noticeable shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.
Overall Essential reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
