Shamama Kannauj Zaafrani (Indian)

Shamama Kannauj Zaafrani (Indian) is a luxurious and rare variation of traditional Shamama, enriched with the richness of saffron (zaafran). Crafted in the historic perfume city of Kannauj, this attar delivers a deeper, warmer, and more refined experience compared to standard Shamama blends.

What makes this fragrance truly special is its saffron infusion—adding a smooth, slightly leathery sweetness and a golden warmth that enhances the classic spicy-herbal Shamama profile. The result is a rich, opulent, and long-lasting oriental scent designed for premium fragrance lovers.
