HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Ahlam in 2018, creating an Oriental fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake, world-renowned star Ahlam Alshamsi. The composition opens with lemon and Rose de Mai, giving way to a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and geranium, before settling into a base of agarwood (oud), powdery notes, ambergris, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk. This fragrance is designed to be original, glamorous, and unforgettable, reflecting the inimitable personality of Ahlam Alshamsi herself.
Ahlam's powdery base notes emerge slowly, so it’s best to apply two sprays initially. The lemon top note is fleeting, but the heart of florals and woodsy base ensures a lasting presence on skin.
