A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The green apple strikes immediately, bright and slightly tart, whilst lemon provides zesty momentum—think of biting into fruit rather than smelling fruit juice. Within minutes, the damask rose begins its emergence, spiced and slightly peppery, grounding the fruity opening before it evaporates.
The florals consolidate into a lush, rosy-creamy accord as iris surface with gentle dustiness. Here, the composition reveals its greatest depth: jasmine adds indolic sweetness without heaviness, lotus contributes aquatic whispers, and praline begins its slow burn underneath, creating layered complexity rather than a monolithic sweetness.
Tonka and vanilla meld into honeyed creaminess as the iris and rose become increasingly powdery abstractions. Musk anchors the base with subtle warmth, and the praline's roasted nuttiness emerges more prominently, creating a dry, skin-scent finish that's gourmand without stickiness—intimate and lingering rather than projecting.
Qasamat Ebhar announces itself as a curious contradiction: a gourmand fragrance that refuses to tip into cloying sweetness. The green apple and lemon opening provide architectural support, their crisp acidity creating a necessary tension against the creamy-sweet infrastructure that follows. This is where the composition reveals its sophistication—the damask rose doesn't emerge as powdery florality but rather as a spiced, slightly tart counterpoint, whilst iris lends a subtle earthiness that prevents the jasmine and lotus from becoming a perfume counter cliché.
The real revelation lies in how praline and tonka bean interact. Rather than merging into a single caramel-vanilla blur, they maintain distinct personalities: the praline contributes a roasted, slightly bitter nuttiness whilst tonka adds honeyed creaminess. Vanilla doesn't dominate but rather acts as a bridge, allowing musk to surface without aggressive animalic qualities. The result is a fragrance that skews decidedly feminine in its floral proportion, yet possesses enough gourmand weight and structural clarity to appeal across gender lines.
