Arabian Heritage

Arabian Heritage is an American perfume brand that sells Arabic-style perfumery made in the United States. Its own pages say it takes the Middle Eastern tradition of oud, amber, rose, saffron and vanilla and combines it with modern American perfumery techniques. Retail listings name Bellevue Parfums USA LLC as the manufacturer. The brand does not name a founder or a founding year on its own pages.

The range is small and fixed. The house calls it the Signature Collection and it holds ten scents, all Eau de Parfum in 100 ml bottles, with a stated 20 per cent oil concentration and the name printed in Arabic and English on every bottle. The Oud Reserve has four unisex scents: Ameer Black Edition, a smoky oud with raspberry and incense; Ameer Al Oud, a warm spicy oud; Seufi, a sweet vanilla oud with praline and saffron; and Rooh Al Jannah, a woody oriental with lavender and apple. The florals are Noor, a citrus floral with white peach; Rooh, a fresh pear and jasmine floral; Sahar Rose, a soft rose with brown sugar; and Amjaad, a floral fruity with pear and osmanthus. Ighra, a rose and black pepper scent, and Amber Layali, a fruity amber with melon and pineapple, complete the ten.

The notes that recur are vanilla, amber, musk and rose, with oud in the darker scents. Arabian Heritage sells through its own website, which lists each bottle at 60 US dollars with free shipping, and through online marketplaces and US retailers, where bottles are often cheaper. It sits at the accessible end of the market, for wearers who want an Arabic-style perfume in a familiar Eau de Parfum format.
