Bana

Bana is a Saudi niche perfume house whose two indexed fragrances, 1373 and 1727, draw their names and stories from places and heritage in the Kingdom. The brand presents perfume as a way to connect its past with contemporary life, and describes its work as a collaboration between creative direction and perfumers developing original compositions. The available sources do not identify an individual founder or a formal founding year, so neither is stated here.

The current named range is compact. 1373 is built around clove, honey and saffron, with chocolate, labdanum and tobacco at its heart and a base of ambroxan, caramel and oakmoss. 1727 takes a different route, opening with cinnamon, grapefruit and oud before moving through cedar, vetiver and birch to oakmoss, sandalwood and amber. Both are presented as unisex Eau de Parfum. Their contrasting profiles place warm gourmand materials beside woody, aromatic and earthy notes.

Bana sells its fragrances through its own online shop. The two named perfumes are also represented in Fragrantica's Saudi brand index, which records their 2023 launch year. The official site offers full bottles and smaller sample formats, giving customers a way to try the scents before choosing a bottle.

Bana fits the niche category because it is a dedicated perfume house with a focused, authored range and a distinct Saudi identity. Its present catalogue is small and clearly defined, with each perfume carrying a place-led story and its own note structure.
