Prince of Persia is a tribute to Persian majesty rendered through a veil of oud, spice, and rose.

The Kinam note is not just another oud. It is deeper, more nuanced. A connoisseur’s oud, it carries a velvety, balsamic weight and an almost incense-like gravity. There is something ancient in its character, a warmth that rises from the resinous heartwood and coats the air with the scent of sacred temples, dark lacquered wood, and old resin. To use it so generously in a blend is not only indulgent—it's bold as hell.
To elevate and balance this profound base, the composition opens with a luminous trio of citrus, spice, and floral light. Bergamot sparkles first, bright and refreshing, ushering in the ethereal pairing of Georgian Royal Rose Otto and White Rose Otto—both incredible distillations in their own way. The Georgian rose, distilled from roses once grown for nobility, has a deeper, almost red-wine-like rosiness, while the white rose otto lends a gentler, creamy softness with a touch of morning dew. This duo creates a rose accord that feels regal without being overbearing. Woven between them is a touch of white pepper and nutmeg, bringing warmth and piquancy that gently guides the rose into the richer heart of the perfume.
In the middle, the story becomes more textural. Blue cypress and Port Oxford cedar give a clean, almost mineralic woodiness, like a breath of fresh air. Jade wood adds a polished, green elegance as well as a diffusive character that creates a gorgeous scent bubble. Nestled between them is the soft powder of orris. Blue lotus provides a scent of still water, meditative and calm, and the Bulgarian rose absolute rounds out the florals with a lush, velvety rose touch.
But the soul of Prince of Persia resides in the base. This is where the Black Thai Kinam Oud begins to unfold its full story. Resinous, meditative, dark—its presence is undeniable. Yet it is shaped by the contours of other grand materials. Cedar Atlas sharpens the Black Kinams woody edge. Civet adds an animalic ferocity, not dirty but primal enough to stir something instinctual. Mongolian musk drapes the entire composition in warmth and a furry itch. And finally, Mysore sandalwood, creamy and enduring, holds everything in perfect harmony. Its golden richness smooths the transitions between spice, floral, and oud, giving the entire fragrance an insane longevity.
Prince of Persia is not meant to be fleeting. It lingers, evolves, and invites one to return to the wrist, to the collar, to the memory. And though it draws inspiration from ancient Persia and the opulence of royal courts, it wears beautifully in modern times—a scent for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship, rarity, and the impact of something made with care.
This fragrance does not chase trends. It honors materials: the aged wood, the perfect bloom, the rare drop of oil. It is a piece of olfactory storytelling where each element plays its role, and nothing feels rushed or artificial. The choice to use such a substantial dose of Black Thai Kinam Oud speaks to a willingness to take the long road—both in sourcing and in blending. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most expensive components ever used in our work, and its inclusion here reflects not just luxury, but purpose.
In Prince of Persia, the balance between shadow and light, between rose and resin, creates a fragrance that feels timeless. It captures the elegance of old-world perfumery while offering a distinctly contemporary sensibility.

The creation of Prince of Persia began with a relentless pursuit of the finest raw materials. At the heart of the fragrance is Black Thai Kinam Oud, a dark, resinous oud revered for its intensity and depth. Equally rare were the Georgian Royal Rose Otto—a velvety, regal rose oil with a wine-like aroma—and the White Rose Otto, prized for its sheer, luminous beauty. Each of these was selected not only for their rarity but for how they would harmonize. All materials were quality-tested and aged appropriately to ensure their maturity and full expression before moving to the next stage.
Once the rare ingredients were secured, we moved to formulation—where balance, complexity, and evolution on skin became the priorities. The top notes were built to open bright yet refined, with bergamot, white pepper, and nutmeg introducing a burst of freshness and spice to elevate the rose. The heart layered intricate florals with orris, blue lotus, and blue cypress, chosen for their ability to soften the oud’s gravity while preserving elegance. The base, rich and full-bodied, anchored the composition with Black Thai Kinam Oud, Cedar Atlas, Mongolian musk, civet, and vintage Mysore sandalwood. Each element was blended in small batches using traditional methods, ensuring every note melted seamlessly into the next.
After formulation, the fragrance was allowed to rest for 8–12 weeks in a controlled environment, giving the complex oils time to marry and mature. This stage was crucial for the oud and musk to round off any harshness and for the florals and spices to integrate into a unified accord. Only after this slow maturation was the final blend filtered and hand-bottled. Each bottle of Prince of Persia contains a full gram of Black Thai Kinam Oud, making it not only a luxury perfume but a rare collector’s piece.
Unlike the deeper, more velvety aroma of traditional red or pink roses, White Rose Otto offers a delicate, almost translucent floral profile. It opens with fresh, dewy petals, followed by a gentle green nuance—like crushed rose leaves touched by morning light. There’s a mild citrusy sparkle that gives the scent lift, yet it's grounded by a serene, creamy smoothness.
Nutmeg has a warm, spicy-sweet scent that is both comforting and exotic. Its aroma carries rich, earthy undertones with a soft woodiness and a subtle, almost creamy balsamic warmth. There’s a faint peppery edge that adds lift, while its sweetness rounds it out, making nutmeg feel both invigorating and cozy.
White roses have long symbolized purity and new beginnings, but in ancient Persia, they were also considered a rare and sacred flower believed to have emerged from the first drop of pure dew touched by moonlight—earning them a reputation not just for beauty, but for quiet spiritual power.
In the 17th century, nutmeg was so valuable that it was traded for gold by weight—and was even the cause of bloody conflicts between European powers vying for control of the Spice Islands, where nutmeg trees were native. At one point, a handful of nutmeg could buy a house in London!
