In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Mukhallat Shams is a full-throttle Middle Eastern style oud blend, sour, animalic and musky, with a salty-ambergris feel and a soft floral haze that peeks through once the opening settles. It is often described as powerful and polarising, the kind of scent that can go from barnyard and medicinal to creamy, smoky woods…

Reviews →

Opeer 17 by Opeer is a quiet unisex blend that pairs sharp floral notes with dry agarwood. Nasim Al Muhairi formulated this scent in 2016 to sit close to the skin, offering a subtle option for temperate spring evenings. A light layer of clean musk softens the wood, making it suitable for casual daily wear.
