The story behind the bottle.
Sheikha by Orientica, launched in 2018, is a fragrance that weaves together the opulence of vanilla and tonka bean with the freshness of green notes and bergamot. The composition opens with cassis and green accords, bringing a lively contrast to the heart's jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, which read as both floral and powdery. As it settles into a base of cedar and sandalwood, Sheikha transforms into an oriental floral that balances sweetness with earthy warmth.
Sheikha's top notes fade within an hour, so a second application midway through the day can help maintain its balance. The base notes are warm and enveloping, making it ideal for evenings when you want a scent that feels both cozy and luxurious.
