The story behind the bottle.
Makkah by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is an Oriental fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake city, blending floral and oud notes with musky warmth. The composition opens with a fresh herbal accord that cuts through the sweetness of rose, creating a tension between crispness and richness. As it settles into a powdery base, Makkah transforms into a warm embrace, evoking the quiet confidence and elegance for which Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is known.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the herbal top notes are fleeting but essential for balancing the richness of the base. It blooms best after about an hour and is particularly suited for evening engagements.
