When the world’s economy and industry are driven by fossil energy, the smell of fossils literally pervades our daily lives. Starting from the smell of bath soap to the perfume we use — almost all of them are fossil-based chemicals.

As the world moves towards a bioeconomy, leaving the dependence on fossils behind, what happens to the world of scents? It will also follow, there will be a shift from fossil scents to bio-based ones.

And this is not difficult because the majority of perfume used to be oil, the carrier was from vegetable oil and the aroma was from essential oil.

When we can bring back this perfume without alcohol — which is oil based, then we can easily associate with past history even though we live in this super modern civilization.

The five perfumes that we bring back, for example, remind us of a very important lesson.

How did the Aqsa Mosque scent when Salahuddin Al Ayyubi succeeded in liberating it? This Al-Quds perfume will take you to that era. Then what is the scent of the palace of Caliph Harun Al-Rashid like? Arabian Night perfume will take you to that era.

Furthermore, when Prophet Ibrahim Alaihi Salam prayed that his children and grandchildren in Mecca would be given fruit, then Allah removed small part of the land of Sham and placed it near Mecca, that is what Thoif is now. Together with this part of the land of Sham, not only fruits were carried but also flowers, especially roses. This is the rose scent that we present.

And for those of you who miss kissing Hajar Aswad, this is the scent of Hajar Aswad perfume that we present to imitate the scent chosen by the King of Saudi Arabia to keep the Hajar Asswd fragrant. And there are many more in our collection, including tropical forest and multflora to popularize the scent of this country too.

These perfumes are currently not for retail sale, but for those of you who are interested in marketing them, we can send samples. After you choose the scents that you like, then you can buy them in bulk in 1 liter bottles which you can resell under your own brand, in small packaging that suits your market.
