The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Swiss Arabian's Kawthar is an Oriental fragrance that balances the rich warmth of Oud and Ambergris with the delicate beauty of Turkish Rose. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of Turkish Rose, which quickly gives way to the deep, woody notes of Agarwood (Oud) and Sandalwood. As it settles into its base, Ambergris provides an animalic warmth that grounds the entire fragrance in a powdery, balsamic embrace.

How to wear it

Given its intimate sillage, Kawthar is best applied directly to pulse points for maximum impact. The Turkish Rose top note fades quickly, so let it warm on your skin before stepping out — the woody and balsamic base notes will carry you through the day.
