EDITORIAL“Chic Shaik No 70: A Traditional Woods and Soap Blend With Serious Staying Power”
The first spray of Chic Shaik No 70 brings a sharp, citrusy brightness to the skin. Bergamot and sour lemon collide with a dry, herbaceous clary sage. It is a bracing, clean arrival that feels like peeling fresh fruit on a crisp October morning. The initial projection is quite loud, filling the immediate air with a zesty, slightly bitter green character that demands attention.
Within twenty minutes, the bright citrus tones start to recede. A subtle floral heart of jasmine and lily-of-the-valley emerges, smoothing out the sharp edges of the top notes. This transition is quick, moving the scent away from simple freshness toward a heavier woodiness. As the floral notes soften, a dry cedar and earthy patchouli begin to dominate the skin.
The dry-down reveals the core strength of the composition. A heavy, clean musk anchors the base, blending with warm sandalwood and vetiver. These accords do not shift dramatically, but they create a dense, powdery envelope that clings tightly to the wearer. The interaction between the dry cedar and the clean musk creates a soapy, clean texture that prevents the woody notes from feeling overly dusty or dry.
In terms of longevity, Chic Shaik No 70 easily lasts over eight hours on the skin. The sillage is moderately strong for the first three hours, projecting about an arm's length before settling into a personal scent bubble. It performs best in moderate to cool weather, particularly during spring and autumn. The dry patchouli makes it a solid choice for formal office wear or outdoor daytime events.
This scent is aimed squarely at men who prefer traditional, woody aromatics over sweet, modern gourmands. Younger shoppers might find the heavy cedar and dry vetiver a bit mature. However, enthusiasts who appreciate clean, masculine profiles with a slight retro feel will find it fits well. It pairs naturally with structured coats, flannel suits, or clean button-down shirts.
Chic Shaik No 70 is a dependable, high-performing woody option, though the pricing remains a major hurdle. The heavy presentation box and ornate bottle add to the cost, making a blind buy risky. Because the dry patchouli and dominant musk can feel linear on certain skin types, sampling first is highly recommended. It is a solid purchase for anyone seeking a more robust alternative to typical dry cedar scents.

Does Chic Shaik No 70 lean masculine or feminine?+
The scent profile leans heavily masculine due to the traditional combination of sharp citrus, dry vetiver, and clean musk. It lacks the sweetness or heavy florals typically found in feminine leaning options.
How does Chic Shaik No 70 compare to Creed Spice & Wood?+
Both share a dry, woody cedar character, but the Shaik offering is thicker and lasts longer. While the Creed has a lighter pear note, this one relies on a heavier musk and patchouli base.
Is Chic Shaik No 70 a good choice for a blind buy?+
We do not recommend buying this blind because of the high price tag. The dominant, dry cedar and soapy musk can also be polarizing depending on your skin chemistry, so testing is advised.
Can Chic Shaik No 70 be worn casually?+
It is best reserved for formal or smart-casual occasions. The dry vetiver and clean structure pair poorly with casual sweatpants, making it better suited for structured coats or button-up shirts.
What is the dominant note in Chic Shaik No 70?+
Cedar is the most prominent note, closely supported by a clean, powdery musk. Together, they create a soapy woodiness that defines the scent throughout its long dry-down on the skin.
Is Chic Shaik No 70 suitable for hot summer days?+
It can feel heavy in high humidity. The thick musk and earthy patchouli base notes can become overly powdery, making it better suited for summer evenings rather than hot afternoon sun.
