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.
