Zaeem is the most original of the selection: a floral that tips over onto a woody, warm base, which is rare.
— The opening is unexpected: cactus flower, lily of the valley, cassia and violet. Cactus flower is a green, watery note, almost mineral — it gives an opening that resembles no other fragrance in the range.
— The heart is classic and elegant: iris, orange blossom and Bulgarian rose. Bulgarian rose is the noblest of the perfumery roses, and the iris brings it its powdery touch.
— The base is the real surprise: birch, patchouli, amber and Bourbon vanilla. The Bourbon vanilla brings a warm, caramelised facet, the birch a dry, woody side. This pairing is what gives the fragrance its grown-up character.
A late-day and evening fragrance, at its best in autumn. It asks for a little daring: this is not a well-behaved floral, the base is marked. Two sprays.

Hayat is the gourmand oriental of the range, presented in a feminine version.
— The opening is spiced and warm: cinnamon, nutmeg and bergamot. There is no fresh phase; the fragrance announces straight away what it is.
— The heart is an oriental sweetmeat: date and praline, carried by tuberose and mahonia. The date brings a dry, fruity sugar that is very Middle Eastern, the praline a confectionery side, and the tuberose — an opulent white flower — gives the whole thing breadth.
— The base is resinous and long: vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin, amber, myrrh and agarwood. The resins are what make it last: benzoin and myrrh have been used in perfumery for millennia for precisely that.
An autumn and winter fragrance, for the evening, warm and enveloping. It is sweet — that is its identity, not a flaw — so it is for someone who likes this register. Two sprays.

Abyat is the most elegant feminine of the range: a fruity floral that ends in an unexpected way.
— The opening is fruity and sharp: mandarin, pear and pepper. The pear gives a juicy roundness, the pepper keeps it from being saccharine.
— The heart is a quality floral trio: rose, peony and osmanthus. Osmanthus is an Asian flower smelling of apricot and leather — a rare and expensive material, and it is what gives the fragrance its particular signature.
— The base is the surprise: musk, patchouli, leather and cedar. After a fruity, floral opening you do not expect a leather base. That is exactly what makes this fragrance interesting and grown-up — the osmanthus in the heart had announced it.
A daytime fragrance that holds in the evening, good all year. It particularly suits someone who finds fruity florals too well-behaved: this one has a foundation. Two sprays.
