The story behind the bottle.
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. The composition opens with a sweet yet earthy aroma, blending smoothly into a powdery base that feels both comforting and sophisticated. This scent embodies the essence of traditional oriental fragrances, offering a modern take on lasting scents.
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.
