Launched in 2012 by Swiss Arabian, Bakhoor Al Arais is a woody amber fragrance that weaves together the warmth of vanilla and spicy notes with the richness of cedar and palisander rosewood.

This scent embodies the essence of traditional oriental fragrances, offering a modern take on lasting scents.

Application Tips
Apply sparingly to let the powdery base notes develop on your skin over time. The spicy top notes are immediate but short-lived, so this fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than from across a room.
