Arabic Perfumes

Arabic perfumes don't go unnoticed: oud, rose, saffron and amber build a dense, warm sillage you recognise from the very first breath. It's a tradition rooted in the raw materials of the Gulf and in everyday gestures: oud is burned to welcome guests, long before anyone wears it. Here you'll find our selection of Arabic perfumes for men, women and unisex — start from the ingredient that intrigues you most and have fun with scent!

How to choose an Arabic perfume

Two criteria are enough to get you started: the ingredient the fragrance is built around, and the concentration (whether it's an eau de toilette, an eau de parfum, an extrait de parfum and so on). The rest is essentially personal taste: let your own impressions guide you and the right choice will come naturally. If you'd rather start from gender, browse our men's perfumes and women's perfumes!

 

The key ingredients of Arabic perfumery

Oud is the most recognisable of them all: woody, resinous, with a slightly animalic base. Rose plays the counterpoint in one of the most classic pairings in Gulf perfumery. Then there's amber, a resinous, vanilla-like accord, saffron with its warm, leathery note, and musk, which often holds the composition together and stretches the sillage.

 

Concentration and how it develops on skin

Arabic perfumery often works with high concentrations, between eau de parfum and extrait de parfum. The higher the concentration of essential oils, the more intense and long-lasting the fragrance. If this is your first Arabic perfume, start with an eau de parfum: it's the easiest format to begin with and to wear every day!

 

Try them on your skin!

With oud and Arabian roses, trying them on skin changes everything: these are notes that behave differently on everyone! If you're nearby, come and smell them at our boutique, Viale Monte Nero 16, Milan. If you'd rather get a feel for them from home, you can buy samples instead. One last tip: follow us on social and read the articles in our magazine — you'll find plenty of useful pointers for choosing with confidence!
