The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

By the Kaaba by Areej Le Doré was launched in 2025 and is a creation of perfumer Russian Adam. This Oriental Woody fragrance is built on a foundation of warm and fresh spices, with an amber heart that adds a luxurious depth. The blend seamlessly transitions from aromatic top notes to a woody base, where rose and balsamic elements intertwine with powdery accords for a sense of lasting elegance. Areej Le Doré’s rich heritage is evident here, combining the intensity of Russian culture with the mystery of Arabian perfumery.

How to wear it

Apply By the Kaaba to pulse points for an enduring effect. The warm spices are most noticeable in the first hour, but the powdery base notes last throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than projecting strongly into a room.
