A total delight, a Shahmaran dark rose with spicy spikes. This precious rose grows on a rock of amber and this makes its aroma deep and honeyed.

That was Bloom’s fragrant fairy tale take on describing 1001’1 Nights.

It’s a very poetic perfume inspired by the Arabic saga, a maze of stories inside a story. The materials (rose, incense, sea salt) and aesthetics (it’s a rich and generous oriental blend) totally would have fitted Scheherazade’s nights.

5 citrus notes.
6 fruity notes.
5 rare perfume notes including musk and amber.

565 is a number from one curious story. The protagonist was neither that handsome nor rich, but his name was Casanova. 565 is the number of ladies who had a relationship with Casanova during his life.

The perfume is an indulgence of sweet and showy radiance: candied bergamot peel soaked in amber, with a pinch of animalic musks.

Noblemen becoming highwaymen, women becoming men, Englishmen becoming Arabs and prostitutes becoming clergy. Here is a gathering of misfits, the rich, famous and infamous all shrouded in drapery of varying deception as one steps into another world for an evening of flirtation, posturing and risqué conduct.

An elixir to give oneself airs of grandeur and mystique. A complex silky composition, comprised of ambrée and chypre fragrant qualities, A Masquerade is an exquisite companion for social occasions and long evenings, befitting those that seek an alluring presence.

A refined agarwood inspired by the scent of Japanese temples. The combination of incense with the sheer sweetness of orange peel gives this eau de parfum an elegant touch. The presence of natural woody notes such as cedarwood and patchouli with the spicy cinnamon accent turns this into a sophisticated oud with a mysterious allure.

The word “agrani” in Sanskrit means a leader, a trailblazer, and this perfume embodies the life stages of a leader. The opening burst of cherry, almond and saffron symbolises the mesmerising oratory skills that rally the masses. The heart reveals the power of pipe tobacco and leather, expressing a leader’s fearless revolutionary spirit. Enveloping musk and Burmese oud summons the hope they bring during challenging times. The cacao and castoreum base evokes the lasting impact they have on the world, leaving an indelible impression. And finally, the warmth of amber echoes the rays of hope a leader ignites in future generations.

In Arabic, Al Sarab means “mirage”. It is inspired by the twilight desert landscapes of the United Arab Emirates: timeless, mystical, and deeply poetic.

Al Sarab is an intense and profound layering of mixed oud oils blended with pure Cambodian oud (aged 15 years). This is an animalic yet fruity oud for connoisseurs of the earthy wood material, suggesting the mesmerising illusion of the desert’s shifting horizons.

In Sanskrit, “ankura” refers to the sprouting or budding of a plant. It can also signify the seed of an idea or feeling. This uplifting green chypre teases feelings into play with its sunny opening of lemon, bergamot, mint, and the honeyed spice of helichrysum flower. Oakmoss brings shade and mystery, accompanying an earthy blend of patchouli, sage and soil tincture. At its full bloom, the smoky allure of Prachinburi oud fills the soul, turning Ankura into an enchanted forest.

Arabesque takes you on a journey through the enchanting and mystical Middle East by way of flowers, fruits and woods entwined together. Inspired by the most beautifully carved arabesque's of Islamic art. A heart of rose and jasmine absolute dance together to create a sense of well-being and serenity while patchouli and oud transports you to another world.

Astra Infinita is Latin for “endless stars”, and this extrait is a celestial blend of brightness and depth. It opens with a citrus supernova: Sicilian lemon, bitter orange and Calabrian bergamot, softened by the golden ripeness of mango and the narcotic bloom of Reunion ylang-ylang.
Then Siberian birch and Indonesian clove meet black pepper and cedarwood, a core that feels both grounded and otherworldly. The base is slow-burning and eternal: Spanish labdanum, Cambodian oud, Mysore sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla. These stars are not distant. They’re drawn to you.

Vigorous choreography around the featured dancer, French centrifolia rose. This clear and honeyed rose is given spice with saffron and oomph with oud, resulting in a compelling contrast between delicacy and strength. Beautifully diffusive and long-lasting, this is a bright and deep rose/leather that brings pleasure to all within smelling distance.
