Oriental perfume for women or for men?

An oriental perfume for women often highlights vanilla, rose or orange blossom. An oriental perfume for men tends to emphasise tobacco, leather or oud. In niche perfumery, these markers are only a guide: most of the perfumes on this page are unisex and are chosen for the character you are looking for, not by gender.

Wearing an oriental perfume well

These compositions are rich and concentrated. Apply them with restraint, on the wrists or the nape of the neck, and let them develop: the base of amber and resins reveals itself after an hour. To learn more: amber in perfumery, vanilla and incense. See also our oud perfumes and our spicy perfumes.
