Gulf Orchid Hikma is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Hikma opens with Red Berries, Orange, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oud, and Vanilla. Gulf Orchid's Hikma carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

A divisive scent that some adore for its smoky rose-oud profile and incredible value, while others find it too harsh or cheap-smelling initially. Patience with maceration seems to be key for many.

About

Opens with a juicy burst of red berries and blackcurrant, quickly giving way to a rich, smoky rose and delicate jasmine heart. The dry down is deep and resonant, a blend of warm amber, creamy vanilla, and a prominent, almost leathery oud, all enveloped by a persistent incense note.
