Gharaam

by Jean-François Thizon

Swiss Arabian Gharaam is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Jean-François Thizon. Gharaam opens with Jasmine and Saffron, settles into a heart of Amber, and dries down to a base of Fir Resin and Cedar. Swiss Arabian's Gharaam carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive ode to Baccarat Rouge 540, without being a carbon copy. Some rave about its quality and how it outperforms the original, while others find a peculiar, off-putting metallic or 'burnt ketchup' note. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its strong projection and impressive longevity, often associated with Middle Eastern perfumery, make it a bit much for an office setting. However, the warm, amber and woody profile makes it perfect for dates and evening formal events, or even a statement casual wear, as it projects confidence.

About

Gharaam opens with an intriguing blend of heady jasmine and the unique leathery spice of saffron. The heart unfolds into a rich, enveloping amber, creating a warm, resinous core. As it settles, a prominent woody base of fir and cedar emerges, lending an aromatic, evergreen depth with nuances of fresh spice, ensuring a sophisticated, long-lasting trail.
