Niche Emarati Al Jawhara

In everyday terms

Bergamot and cardamom over rose and amber with vanilla and agarwood.

Bergamot

Bright, fresh citrus, like the zest of a lime with a soft floral edge

Cardamom

Cool, warm spice, like Arabian coffee or spiced tea

Saffron

Warm and honey-like, a bit like the inside of a brand-new leather bag

Rose

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Amber

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

Vanilla

Sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream or custard

Agarwood

Deep, smoky oud, like the turare and bakhoor burned in Hausa homes during Sallah

Musk

Clean skin, like fresh laundry

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
