Hikma

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 Vanilla, Oud, and Amber. Gulf Orchid's Hikma carries an Acquired verdict, a 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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent performance and bold, heavy accords of oud, amber, and incense make it a powerhouse, less suited for office wear, but perfect for date nights where its sensual depth can shine. It elevates a formal occasion and can be worn casually if you want to make a strong statement.

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.
