Ibrahim Al-Qurashi Balas Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Balas Rose opens with Rose, Saffron, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Suede, Jasmine, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Birch. Ibrahim Al-Qurashi's Balas Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and a bit of a chameleon, Balas Rose is either a budget BR540 clone or a unique Middle Eastern take on rose and saffron. Either way, it's a powerhouse that demands respect.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong sillage means it's probably too much for the office, but its powerful, luxurious profile makes it ideal for dates and evening events. It's a bit heavy for casual daytime wear due to its intensity and cold-weather leanings.

About

Balas Rose hits you with a luxurious blend of jammy rose and aromatic saffron right from the start, a sweet and spicy introduction that quickly deepens. The heart brings a smooth, sensual suede note alongside delicate jasmine and a creamy vanilla, adding a touch of sophisticated warmth. As it settles, a dry cedar and birch emerge, grounding the sweetness with a woody, slightly smoky finish, all enveloped in a soft musk.
