The Bosphorus by Swiss Arabian is a captivating Oriental fragrance that launched in 2019. The composition opens with labdanum, creating an earthy and resinous foundation before transitioning into the heart of patchouli. At its core, oud, rose, sandalwood, and warm spices blend to evoke a luxurious and enveloping experience. This fragrance is neither overtly sweet nor heavy; instead, it strikes a harmonious balance between floral and woody notes, making it suitable for both day and evening wear.

Application Tips
For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points. The labdanum in the top notes is striking but fleeting, so allow it to settle before venturing out. The base notes will gradually unfold over time, providing a rich and long-lasting warmth.
