Kawthar

Swiss Arabian Kawthar is an Eau de Parfum. Kawthar opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Oud and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Ambergris. Swiss Arabian's Kawthar carries a Statement verdict, a oud-led wear.

Kawthar is a divisive one. Some find it a powerful, smoky oud bomb - deeply mysterious and masculine. Others detect a gentle, fleeting rose, a soft ambergris skin scent. Ultimately, it’s a gamble, but potentially a cheap thrill for the oud-curious.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given the strong, smoky oud and animalic accords, this scent leans away from office wear. It’s perfect for intimate dates or intriguing formal events where its unique character can shine, and some find it suitable for casual wear given its oil format and often moderate projection.

About

Opens with a fleeting, delicate rose that quickly gives way to the star of the show: a multifaceted oud. This isn't your cheesy, barnyard oud; it's smoky, resinous, and deeply woody, reminiscent of smouldering embers and ancient campfires. Beneath the smoke, a salty whiff of ambergris adds an animalic, almost primal edge, rounding out into a balsamic warmth. Expect a rich tapestry where rose peeks through the dark mystique.
