Shisur by Molton Brown is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Shisur was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Jennifer Jambon. Top notes are Dried Fruits, Caraway and Iris; middle notes are Saffron, Labdanum and Orris; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Olibanum and Cedar. The collection Navigations Through Scent by Molton Brown introduced a new fragrance named SHISUR in September 2014. The perfume is inspired by thousands of Arabic nights in the city under sand and reveals again the forgotten spectacle of famous trading depicted with precious oud, which is intense, provocative and deep. The composition of the new edition by Molton Brown Shisur includes extremely sophisticated aromas of iris combined with decadent accords of saffron and dark shades of olibanum evoking the scent of polished dishes. Key notes of this oriental-woody compositions are oud, olibanum, labdanum absolute, dry fruits, iris, saffron, cedar, caraway and orris. The perfumer behind this composition is Jennifer Jambon. On the occasion of creating this fragrance Jennifer Jambon states: “The fragrance is very unique due to the delicate balance of ingredients used in creating a harmonious, woody-oriental character. Unlike other oud perfumes, the labdanum absolute in this blend gives a smoky, leathery effect without leaving an overpowering note from the strength of oud. Moreover, the dry fruit oriental balsamic accord and iris complement oud, taking a different approach to other perfumes which tend to use classical vanilla and rose notes. The natural saffron oleoresin adds an individual, modern facet and enhances the warm, sensual oriental notes. Finally, the orris concrete adds a sophisticated floral, powdery aspect that balances the masculine, woody accord making it perfectly proportioned as a unisex fragrance.” Fragrance Shisur is available in a flacon of the same form as other editions of the collection Navigations Through Scent as 50 ml.

A Signature Fragrance

Agarwood (Oud)
From the resinous knots of Aquilaria trees, agarwood emerges as a dense, dark wood with an aroma that's both earthy and sweet. Its scent is often described as woody and spicy, with hints of smoke and incense, making it one of perfumery’s most sought-after materials.

Olibanum
Derived from the Boswellia tree's sap, olibanum is a resinous incense with a complex scent profile. It exudes an aromatic and woody aroma, often accompanied by hints of citrus and spice that add depth to any fragrance. This versatile material has been used in rituals and perfumery for millennia, its earthy warmth evoking the essence of ancient trade routes.

Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.
