The Story
Our fragrance samples are available for purchase online only. No samples will be available in store at Merz Apothecary.
Would you love to try Shadid? Try a sample for a fraction of the cost of a full bottle!
Our samples are either packaged by the perfume house, or hand-poured here at Smallflower and presented in a spray vial. Each vial is filled to a variable volume to reflect the concentration of the fragrance being sampled.
About the Fragrance:
SHADID is strength with a soul.
Strong. Sensual. Oriental. Uncompromising.
SHADID means Intense, Strong in Arabic—and this scent lives up to its name.
A bold oriental creation, dark and bright at once. Animalic leather and spice meet smoky woods, musks, and a luminous heart of Nagarmotha. There’s no oudh—yet all the richness is there. Creamy sandalwood, dry cedar, ambergris, and vanilla lift the darkness into something unforgettable.
Inspired by a drive through the desert from Los Angeles to Las Vegas: a wide sky, warm silence, and the memory of distant lands. SHADID captures the power of solitude, the elegance of mystery, and the depth of oriental perfume tradition—without compromise.
Fragrance Notes:
Top: Coriander, Castoreum
Middle: Nagarmotha, Palisander, Animalic Musks
Base: Sandalwood, Ambergris, Vanilla, Cedarwood
Same Day pickup for curbside orders containing samples is not available.
