The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Fragrance Du Bois, Aseel is a Woody Spicy fragrance created by perfumer Shadi Samra. The composition opens with the sharp freshness of ginger and cardamom, giving way to a heart of bergamot and geranium that provides a lush yet restrained contrast. The base notes of Indian Oud and agarwood offer warmth and depth, while cedar and white musk lend an earthy softness that rounds out the overall profile.
Apply Aseel lightly to pulse points — it blooms over time, with the top notes giving way to a deeper woody warmth. It’s best worn during cooler hours when the spicy elements can be fully appreciated without overpowering.
