Middle Eastern Fragrances

Oud, amber, rose and saffron from the perfume houses of the Gulf.

Middle Eastern perfumery is built on depth rather than freshness. Resinous oud, smoky incense, Taif rose, saffron and warm vanilla musk are blended at eau de parfum and parfum strength, so one or two sprays carry through a full day and leave a trail behind them. It is a tradition of layering and of wearing scent close, and it has shaped how the rest of the fragrance world now thinks about amber and wood.

This collection brings together the houses that defined the style — Lattafa, Rasasi, Armaf, Afnan, Al Haramain and Swiss Arabian — alongside newer names working in the same register. For men and women, in full-size bottles and concentrated perfume oils.
