Ojar - Mahrajan Absolute

A fragrance from the Oman-based brand, capturing the soul of the Middle East and the Occident, exquisitely combining them in a perfect fusion that balances heritage and modernity. The Absolute is an alcohol-free fragrance oil of high concentration bottled in a unique double cap flacon launched in 2020. Mahrajan Absolute is an oriental journey, reminiscent of a sunset in the Jal Mahal Palace in Jaipur: an aquatic and fruity beginning that evolves into floral and woody notes with an original touch of Turkish delight.

Elie Saab – Le Parfum

"My childhood home was surrounded by orange blossom and when the wind blew, even slightly, it carried with it the essence of its notes.” These olfactory emotions from the fashion designer are the heart of the perfume, celebrating its ten years. The scent is a cruise around the Mediterranean sea with the vivid and fresh Cyprus orange blossom, blended and jasmine with a honeyed rose and patchouli.
