Shahama Cologne

Deliberately abstract from the very top, Shahama Cologne from Matin Martin opens on fruity notes, spicy notes and ozonic notes together, none of them named specifically. Agarwood, carnation and geranium deepen the core into something dark, spiced and richly floral. Leather, balsamic notes and woodsy notes close the drydown dry and resinous. Keeping every material broad rather than literal gives this an impressionistic, almost abstract quality unusual for a cologne this structured. Shahama Cologne is a woody aquatic Eau de Parfum from Matin Martin, suited to versatile day to evening wear. Matin Martin favored suggestion over specificity throughout.
