URBIS PARFUMS

URBIS PARFUMS is a niche fragrance brand launched in 2023 with a concept built around cities and cultures across the globe. The brand name is derived from Latin "urbis", meaning city, and each scent is framed as a portrait of a specific place, highlighting characteristic aspects of its atmosphere, materials, and traditions. URBIS PARFUMS positions itself in the niche segment with high concentration blends and performance-focused compositions, and is structured commercially as URBIS PARFUMS LIMITED, a UK-registered company based in London.

The brand’s catalogue rapidly expanded from its first releases in 2023 to more than two dozen fragrances within the next years, with launches representing destinations such as Samarkand, Al Ula, Nairobi, Bordeaux, Islay and Vegas. Perfume creation is handled in collaboration with independent perfumers including Hélène Prévot, Sofia Bardelli, Nathalie Feisthauer and Chris Maurice, alongside in-house direction under the URBIS PARFUMS name. Official marketing copy for creations like Al Ula and Nairobi explicitly ties the formulas to local landmarks, landscapes and histories, using specific ingredients such as oud, coffee, chocolate, saffron and rose to suggest the visual and cultural backdrop of each location.

Corporate records list Mr Mahmoud Tarek Soliman Abdelhalem as the person with significant control of URBIS PARFUMS LIMITED, indicating his key ownership and leadership role in the brand’s development. While the creative inspiration frequently draws from Middle Eastern, African and European destinations and materials, URBIS PARFUMS operates out of the United Kingdom and manufactures perfumes and essential oils as part of a broader cosmetic and fragrance activity. Taken together, URBIS PARFUMS is defined by its city-specific storytelling, its collaboration with notable niche perfumers, and its focus on bold, long-lasting scents that aim to convey a strong sense of place.
