In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Al Khaleej is a smoky, incense-forward oud scent that leans dark, woody, and distinctly Middle Eastern in style. The opening can read as smoke and resin, then moves into precious woods and oud.

Reviews →

Qisaty is a woody oil that balances dense Middle Eastern resins with a bright, soapy laundry undertone. It matches cooler autumn days when you want a warm, honeyed skin scent that stays clean rather than cloying. An initial blast of aldehydes settles into sweet raspberry, dry cedarwood, and a smooth vanilla base.
