Here is a list of five trending Arabian inspired perfumes in the GCC:
Swiss Arabian Layali Eau De Parfum
Swiss Arabian Layali is an oil-based perfume that is fruity and floral, and that's why it holds a great appeal for women. It blends traditional ingredients with more modern notes, comprising a fruity composition of plum, orange blossom and blackcurrant that blend into jasmine and rose, and settle into a sweet sillage of amber and agarwood.
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum
This is a scent that will appeal to any gourmand, whether male or female. Shaghaf Oud opens with strands of saffron, which blends with agarwood and rose to ramp up its intensity, until it is enveloped in the delectable base notes of vanilla, praline, and oud.
Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan Eau De Parfum
It is told that French perfumer Serge Lutens was wandering through the souks of Marrakesh, Morocco, when he came across an amber resin, which lay forgotten for years inside a thuja wood box. That experience inspired the Ambre Sultan.
Its scent combines earthy amber with the freshness of the cistus herb and the creaminess of vanilla. It is a dense and complex scent that both men and women will appreciate, but it is likely to charm women more.
Khamrah Lattafa Eau De Parfum
Khamrah Lattafa's fragrance is aromatic and spicy, and combines top notes of fresh bergamot, velvety cinnamon and sage, with heart notes of creamy praline, dates and tuberose. The base ties it all together with a blend of sweet vanilla, smoky oud, myrrh, tonka bean and refined amber.
Khamrah Lattafa is packaged as a unisex perfume, but most reviewers say it holds a greater appeal for women. Its overall sensation is sweet, warm and spicy.
Nemat Amber
Nemat's Amber fragrance oil is a subtle, long-lasting fragrance that blends with your body chemistry to create your own unique skin scent. The American brand uses an Indian and Arabian inspired blend of ingredients to create this exquisite fragrance that is suitable for both men and women with soft and clean notes.
