The region’s newest perfume brand OJAR brings together the scents of the East and Western worlds.
Founded by Sheikha Hind Bahwan, luxury fragrance line OJAR pays tribute to the art and rituals of Middle Eastern perfume making. The Omani founder wanted to make a statement of modernity and traditional harmony through her fragrance creations that take inspiration from the landscape and surroundings of the UAE.
OJAR comes from the word HOJARI which is widely regarded as the finest quality of Frankincense resin in the world and found in Oman’s Dhofar mountains. So it’s no surprise that Frankincense is one of the key ingredients of the collection.
“I see perfume as a lifestyle, it is a signature that you bring wherever you go.” Said Hind Bahwan.
OJAR partnered with renowned Swiss perfume house Givaudan on the creation of the perfumes. All of the perfumes in the collection are unisex and the 18 scents were all created based on six core ingredients: Oud, Rose, Frankincense, Honey, Sandalwood and Musk.
See the collection below:
Honey
Sweet and warm these perfumes are floral oriental with glamorous honey.
Rose
Rose is the queen of the flowers, embodying romance, power, beauty and fineness in all its glory.
