Become the Shaman by DSH PERFUMES Reviews & Perfume Facts

Become the Shaman offers a unique olfactory experience grounded in a mix of milky and woody notes. The top notes present a soft milky aspect, while the heart reveals citrus, resin, and woody elements including gaiac. The base is rich and inviting, featuring cedarwood, tobacco, tonka bean, vanilla, and Peru balsam, creating a lush forest ambiance with subtle spice and milky incense undertones.

Become the Shaman is an Eau de Parfum (EdP), which generally means it has a higher concentration of fragrance oils compared to other types. Users report that it lasts a good 6-8 hours on the skin, with an average to moderate sillage, allowing it to be present without being overwhelming. It’s perfect for creating an enchanting atmosphere around you!

Given its grounding and warm woody profile, Become the Shaman is particularly suitable for fall and winter seasons. It exudes a cozy, comforting vibe that is perfect for evenings and intimate gatherings. However, its versatile unisex nature means it can be enjoyed year-round for those who appreciate a deeper, earthy scent.

For the best performance of Become the Shaman, apply it to pulse points such as your wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Applying to moisturized skin can also enhance longevity. Additionally, spritzing a bit on your clothing or in your hair can help maintain the fragrance throughout the day. Just be cautious with particularly delicate fabrics!

Become the Shaman distinguishes itself from other woody fragrances like Tom Ford's Oud Wood or Le Labo's Santal 33 through its unique blend of milky notes and the use of palo santo and copal. While many woody scents focus heavily on sandalwood or bolder resinous qualities, this fragrance brings a lush, softer, and more contemplative character, making it stand out for those who enjoy a nuanced aromatic journey.
