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.

All about this fragrance

Vibe check

This is a scent for close, low-lit settings where texture matters more than brightness: a private room, warm air, and a presence that arrives before the wearer speaks. Its animalic oud and leather read as dense and composed, with a dry, shadowed sensuality.

How to wear

Best worn in cooler weather or after sunset, when its oud and leather can unfold without feeling overwhelming. Apply sparingly: one or two sprays are enough to create a deep, lingering trail, with the extrait concentration giving strong persistence on skin and fabric.

Who it’s for

For wearers who prefer oud in its darker register: leathery, animalic, resinous and uncompromising, with a touch of fruit beneath the wood. It suits collectors and connoisseurs who enjoy powerful, textural fragrances with a distinctly Middle Eastern oud signature.

Collaborators

Dr. Maysson Al Otaiba shaped the house as founder and creative director, guiding the fragrance’s heritage-led concept and its focus on oud as a cultural material rather than a trend-driven note.

Al Sarab’s concept

Al Sarab means “mirage” in Arabic, and the fragrance is framed as a twilight desert vision inspired by the landscapes of the United Arab Emirates. Built around mixed oud oils and 15-year-aged Cambodian oud, it evokes mystery, grandeur and the shifting illusion of the horizon.
