Arabic Perfumes

Arabic Perfumes represent a millennia-old tradition of perfumery that the Western world is discovering with fascination. Brands like Rasasi, Lattafa, Al Haramain, Swiss Arabian and Ajmal create fragrances of extraordinary generosity, longevity and olfactive depth.

Arabic perfumery is distinguished by the use of oud — the world's most expensive aromatic wood — along with Damascus rose, saffron, amber and first-quality oriental resins. Their fragrances can last 12, 16 or even 24 hours on skin.

The best news: all this olfactive richness is available at very accessible prices. Arabic perfumery is the best-kept secret of fragrance enthusiasts worldwide.
