THE CAPITAL OF MODERN PERFUMERY

Grasse in Provence, France is considered to be the birthplace, and the capital, of modern perfumery. It started out as a leather and tanning capital in the 13th century, providing perfumed gloves when they became highly fashionable. Eventually the leather glove trend faded, but the perfume was still very much in demand…

Grasse is an ideal place for perfume making as it has the perfect micro climate for growing delicate flowers.

We all know that perfumes are a constant part of our everyday lives – we use them every day and on all occasions. It’s almost unthinkable to go outside without putting on some perfume. But, are we aware of some peculiarities and curious facts about the scented bottles that bring us the desired feeling of style and beauty? Let’s find out…

The Bosphorus, floriental-gender neutral artisan blend from Swiss Arabian, is an oil based fragrance that encapsulates the memory the perfumers' trip to Istanbul, a melting pot of cultures. It is like opening the doors of an Oriental palace with ochre walls and being struck by its fragrance. The smoky scent of burning wood blends with that of sweet floral water on washed hands. That's the scent of this smooth atmosphere, where rose, frankincense and resin linger. The perfume is velvety and sensual, like the roses of the Orient.

Patchouli has had a bad rap over the years. One whiff of the stuff seems to bring to mind one word, "hippy." But what is it exactly? Where does this fragrance come from?

Oud & Bakhoor – The luxurious scent of Arabia

Bakhoor has been a necessity in almost every Arabian home for centuries now. It is believed to have initially been used by the nomadic Levantine tribes who burnt agarwood chips (the base ingredient of bakhoor) to perfume their surrounding, and to cover up the smell of cooking. It was also believed by some to ward off bad luck. Even now, many strongly believe that the sacred aroma of bakhoor can keep away jinn and attract angels, as it has a cleansing, purifying, and healing effect.

Middle Eastern women carry bakhoor burners through their homes to spread the fragrance, which lingers in carpets, curtains, and other fabrics. Both men and women stand over the burners to allow the smoke to perfume their clothing and hair, as the bakhoor selection is a way to express one's self through fragrance, mixing and matching multiple scents according to season, whim, or social occasion. A favorite blend is commonly gifted during casual gatherings as a gesture of hospitality.

HIDDEN GEM: NOUF 50mL, an Oriental Spicy Eau de Parfum with sultry Bergamot, Grapefruit and Lemon in spicy Pepper blend! a fragrance that celebrates unique radiance, luminosity and gentle sensuality that are captured in a beautiful 50mL golden ornate metal bottle.

NOUF is a fresh fragrance that opens with a stimulating blend of citric fruits like lemon, grapefruit and bergamot; which later make way to the amber and pepper notes that deliver an unassuming versatility. Its fresh aquatic accords speak volumes in terms of femininity and passion.

The Swiss Arabian collection of perfumes generally have a sense of private intoxication about them, and to some degree, NOUF’s self-contained character can be attributed to the rosewood note itself. Not the citrus components of its top notes which eventually dissipate, but the sturdier wood smell that is found to be linear, constant and resistant to change.
