As temperatures climb across the region, here are six summer fragrances from Arab brands to carry you from brunch to beach.
Window2Soul
The debut from Orebella, half-Palestinian model Bella Hadid’s alcohol-free label, is a sheer floral of damask rose and jasmine over tonka bean and a bright twist of lemon.
Citrus | 08
Kayali, the Dubai brand founded by Mona Kattan, keeps it fresh with a burst of bergamot and pink grapefruit over rose centifolia, musk and oakmoss.
Hawas for Her
Dubai house Rasasi blends pomegranate, apple and grapefruit with iris and jasmine sambac, over a base of praline, patchouli and vetiver.
Sunshine Woman
Omani maison Amouage turns out a creamy, fruity oriental floral, warmed by hints of tobacco and soft, earthy notes for a radiant, sunlit finish.
Shaghaf Oud
Swiss Arabian, the Dubai perfumer, goes richer with oud, rose and saffron, smoothed by a creamy, slightly sweet vanilla dry-down.
Angham
Dubai label Lattafa layers mandarin, ginger and pink pepper with praline and cacao, over a base of musk, amber and vanilla.
