Royal Rose is the most direct rose in the catalogue: no detours, no effects, just the flower.
— The opening is a simple lemon, sharp and short. Its only job is to open the door and keep the rose from arriving too abruptly.
— The heart is the fragrance itself: rose and jasmine. Two flowers, well measured, with nothing to clutter them. That is a compositional choice: the rose is exposed, and you judge it as it is.
— The base is minimal and modern: ambroxan, musk and vanilla. The ambroxan gives that warm-skin impression and carries the fragrance a long way; the vanilla rounds it off just enough.
An everyday fragrance, good all year, for someone who likes frank, modern roses rather than old-fashioned powdery ones. Its simplicity is its quality: you know from the first minute whether you like it. Two to three sprays.

Royal Jasmine is the most carefully built of the Assala feminines — and despite its name, the jasmine is not the star.
— The opening is tart and green: lychee, rhubarb and grapefruit. Rhubarb is a rare note, frankly acidic and vegetal, which keeps the lychee from being too sweet. A crisp, lively start.
— The heart is floral but already dry: rose, peony and vetiver. Vetiver in the heart of a floral is unusual — it sets the dryness in place very early and gives the fragrance a grown-up bearing.
— The base is the most interesting part: incense, vanilla, musk and oakmoss. Oakmoss is the signature of the chypre family, that green, earthy structure you rarely find at this price, and the incense adds a resinous depth to it.
A daytime fragrance that holds through the evening, at its best in spring and autumn. It will suit someone who finds fruity florals too simple: this one has a real architecture. Two sprays.

Nasma White Blossom is the softest version of the Nasma line — a floral wrapped in cream.
— The opening pairs fruity notes with lactonic notes. Lactones are the molecules that give the scent of velvety peach and of milk — they are what creates that creamy, slightly milky sensation from the very start.
— The heart is floral, dominated by rose, with woods already appearing. The move from creamy fruit to flower happens without a break, and that is what makes the fragrance comfortable.
— The base is woody and soft: patchouli and vanilla over a woody foundation. The patchouli brings a dry earthiness that keeps the vanilla from turning syrupy.
A daytime fragrance, for mid-season and winter, soft and easy to wear. It will suit someone who likes comforting fragrances rather than ones that snap. Two to three sprays.
