Latest Reviews of Shaman
Provided by Bloom Perfumery in London, who suggest it was inspired by Terre d'Hermes. It's available for a song, and when I asked how this was, I was told that the Russians don't see much point in paying over the odds for their fragrances... well some of them do, but many others clearly have their heads screwed on.
I like Terre but I would pass on this. There is good minerality (ha, like a white wine) and decent citrus, but there is a dominant rose note to my nose that is off-putting. As a result, it's not to the same standard as a masculine as something like Yardley's Citrus & Wood (almost identical price, although no doubt a different experience sourcing the two). I would imagine the market for those wanting a cheaper version of Terre with added rose is very small, but you never know. So not without merit, but I would stick with the original.
