THE PERFUME 
Our Abu Dhabi perfume opens with cypress, pink pepper, peppermint, rosemary, cardamom and cistus. The heart of this perfume is composed around clary sage, saffron, geranium and orris. And the base, with its beautifully memorable sillage, evocative of the desert breeze, is constructed with cedarwood, patchouli, leather notes and musks.

For the creation of the Abu Dhabi fragrance, founder Nick Steward called on Lucas Sieuzac, a frequent traveller to the Emirates 
 
Says Nick “I love working with Lucas – first of all it’s a very enjoyable philosophical conversation, about perfume and other matters. And at the same time coloured with an easy-going humour. I greatly enjoy Lucas’ lightness of being, his effortless precision and simplicity. And then there is something classic, clear-thinking in his composition, with a neo-vintage vibe, an old school elegance I find in the Emirati culture. Elegant, uncluttered - and to the point.” 
 
Adds Lucas “this perfume symbolizes for me the fine line between modernity and tradition, which feels like a very Emirati characteristic. We’ve blended key ingredients of traditional Middle Eastern perfumery - spices like saffron, pink pepper, as well as balsamic accented cistus and leather - alongside the components of a modern fougère construction – such as rosemary, cypress, clary sage, geranium, and orris, on a bed of cedarwood, patchouli and musks.”
