What does Assaf Shift smell like?
Assaf Shift has a crowded, fruity top: pineapple and blackcurrant bring juicy sweetness and tartness, grapefruit, lemon and bergamot add three kinds of citrus bite, and pink pepper sparkles over the lot. The heart switches to spice. Cardamom is cool and aromatic, cinnamon warm and sweet, ginger zesty, and together they add warmth without weighing the scent down.
Vetiver and patchouli form a dry, earthy base. Vetiver is grassy and rooty, and patchouli is dark and earthy, which gives the fruit and spice something solid to rest on. No sweet note is listed in the base. The style is fruity-fresh with a spicy middle and an earthy foundation, and its centre of gravity is the bright, juicy start.
Who is Assaf Shift for?
For a wearer who prefers a brisk, juicy character to a smooth, sweet one, Shift is a plausible fit. It is listed for men, and the shop tags it for spring and summer, with daily wear and sport as the occasions.
