A fragrance for women and men, built on an ambery-woody structure where warm orris meets vanilla, with touches of myrrh and frankincense.
The bottle comes in a refined design that pays attention to delicate details, adorned with a calligraphy piece by artist Hussein Al-Aza’at, inspired by a poetic verse that reflects the essence of this perfume and its quiet inner tension:
“If you come close to me, my affection will come close to you,
And if you distance yourself from me, you will find me distant from you.”
*Al-Shafi'i
A verse that touches a precise balance between closeness and distance, between warmth and pride, the very tension that composes the layers of this fragrance.
In a fusion between the beauty of Thuluth script and the elegance of Ruq’ah, the calligraphy becomes an extension of the scent’s depth, linking the presence of the perfume to an Arab heritage alive in every detail.
Behind this creation stands the French perfumer Philippine Courtier.
She moved from the world of law to the art of perfumery, shaping her journey between Paris, Geneva, and New York before settling in Dubai, where she encountered the spirit of the East up close. There she found in its warmth and mystery a new dimension to her vision, blending her French sensibility with an Eastern depth that forms its own harmony.
“I wanted to express the mystery that shapes the identity of the Middle East, blended with the familiarity that comes from calling it home.”
A composition built around the orris note, with warm velvety vanilla, and an ambery, incense-tinged harmony.
“It is a journey of contrasts and emotions… captured within a scent.”
