AB Lavoud is one of Mazhar's own compositions, not a version of anyone else's work. It started from a simple question: what does lavender smell like sitting on top of oud? The answer is this. French lavender opens it, clean and herbal, then a...

Imagino is the polished, slightly expensive end of fresh. It follows Louis Vuitton's Imagination very closely, near 97%, and it's one of our pricier scents for a reason. Bright bergamot, citron and orange open it, then a black-tea-and-ginger heart keeps it interesting rather than...

Libre's trick is putting lavender, usually thought of as a men's note, right at the centre of a floral. That tension is the whole appeal, and it's a big part of why Liberate Blossom wears as easily on men as on women. It's our...

If you've smelled a really good attar at a Lahori wedding, you already know roughly where Navab is going. It's our reading of Ormonde Jayne's Nawab of Oudh, and a close one at about 96%. Bergamot and a little green open it, but the...

If oud usually feels like too much, this is the one to start with. Oudwood Noir follows Tom Ford's Oud Wood, about 91% of it, and it's the smooth, modern side of the note. Rare woods and a little spice open it gently, the...

Tom Ford's original split opinion hard, and Fabulush keeps that split intact. It's our take on Tom Ford's F***ing Fabulous, about 92%. Lavender and clary sage open it before the centre takes over: bitter almond, leather and a soft vanilla, with orris keeping it...

Ganymede doesn't smell like much else we make, or much else on the market, which is exactly why people seek it out. It's our take on Marc-Antoine Barrois' Ganymede, near 96%, and one of our more premium scents. Mandarin and a cool mineral note...

Xerjoff's Erba Pura is one of the most copied fruity scents in the world, for good reason. Amber Delight is our run at it, around 90%. Oranges, lemon and bergamot open it juicy and bright, a sweet fruity heart keeps it cheerful, and white...

Mazmala works up close rather than across a room, and that's the whole charm of it. It's our take on Thomas Kosmala's No.4, around 94%. A little citrus opens it before it warms quickly into amber, soft spice and woods, then a smooth ambroxan-and-musk...

Niche fragrances like Nishane's Hacivat are gorgeous and brutally expensive. Pirane gets you most of the way there, about 90%, for a fraction of it. It opens juicy and bright with pineapple and citrus, then a soft woody-floral heart keeps it elegant rather than...

Burning resin and oud, the sort of smell you might catch drifting from an old majlis. That's the world Nomade Ombry lives in, our reading of Louis Vuitton's Ombre Nomade, and we'd put it near 90%. Smoky spices and resins open it, a dense...

Rose-oud is easy to do badly and hard to do well, so this was a careful one. Isfahan Roseoud is our reading of Dior's Oud Ispahan, around 94%. A little bergamot and citrus lift the opening, then a full, velvety rose takes over, sitting...

Strong coffee with a little too much sugar, basically, and that's a compliment. Tonka Arabica is our read on Montale's Arabians Tonka, about 93%. A spicy-sweet opening gives way to the real draw: creamy tonka and vanilla with a roasted, coffee-like richness, settling on...

This is the most Middle Eastern thing we make, and also one of our closest matches at around 96% to Marj by Al Maghrabi. It's warm and sweet without tipping into gourmand: amber and soft spice on top, a resinous woody-floral heart, then a...

This smells, more or less, like a very good leather jacket, which is exactly what it's going for. Ombreo Leather is our version of Tom Ford's Ombré Leather, roughly 92%. Smooth leather leads from the first spray, with a little warm spice and a...

Cold, green and a little unusual, Silventus is one of the few scents we make that suits men and women equally. It's our version of Creed Silver Mountain Water, about 94% there. The opening is icy and bright, bergamot and mandarin, before a green-tea-and-blackcurrant...
