Description

Arabia – The Sufi perfume

Arabia is a paradoxical composition originated by the combination of two opposite but complementary fragrances: the mystical Damascene Rose, the flower of eternal love, and the extract of Castoreum (beaver), savage and wild.

In Arabia, the perfume of the divine rapture sung by the Persian Sufis meets the rough animal secretion that awakes our primary impulses through our sense of smell.

It binds together the fragrance exhaling from the bodies of the saints with an aromatic substance meant by nature to hit the center of animals’ nervous system, the very part we share with them.

Between these two extreme scents, I have thrown a bridge of warm Arabic spices (Cinnamon, Cardamom, Nutmeg) and rare absolutes (Narcissus, Violet, Tuberose).

The whole perfume is bound by the deep underlying vibration of the Ambrette, another name for the vegetal white musk.

Arabia is a concentrate of energy and will appeal to those who already own the interior force that will enable him to wear it.

That is the reason why it is a perfume to choose for a journey when the energy that brings us to travel enables us to wear it.

In fact, the relative stillness to which the traveler is forced (bound as he is to stay on his means of transport), pushes him, to mentally interiorize the energy of his physical movement, projecting himself by thought beyond the limits of the body.

Arabia fosters this process up to the point that the traveler who is wearing it will feel uplifted by the force of the thought as by a sea wave.

Arabia may be used also in periods of transition or to support states of elevated energy, like the Sufis:

‘The Sufi is in this world without being of this world’.

As a traveling pilgrim, the Sufi is here with us, but his spirit is beyond the boundaries of the world.

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Luka – December 15, 2022

    Poetry in a bottle. This perfume smells like kindness, human warmth, and love. It tells you that everything is alright, and if it isn’t, it will be. In my opinion, it is a perfume of Faith, helping those who have it to continue on the path that lies in front of them, and those who do not have it, to find it.

    Arabia is a perfume of profound balance, achieved by adding counterweights until absolute equilibrium is reached. It is subtle yet powerful, calming yet invigorating, tender but unyielding. The rose and castoreum here give the impression of two very different essences that are at the same time irrevocably attracted to each other like the opposite poles of a magnet, forming a whole that is infinitely deeper, more nuanced and more meaningful than the sum of its parts. From start to end, this is a tale of roses, smooth spices and musk. It is a linear fragrance by design; however, it is in no way boring or one-sided. It starts off with a spicy rose-centric smell and ends as a character study of musk, with the flowers and spices still present, albeit less dominant. In other words, the scent develops on the skin not by changing, but by deepening.

    Right after application there is an explosion of juicy, thirst-quenching rose with tart and fruity aspects, at times reminding me of pears. Along with this there is also a certain waxy quality to this fragrance, which prevents it from being too fruity or sweet. This is soon joined by warm spices that bring forth associations of mulled wine or strong spiced fruit tea in the winter. As it dries down, this warm sweetness is somewhat curtailed by a soft, almost puffy leathery note, which I’m guessing is the combined effect of the musk and the white florals in the back. The tuberose becomes perceptible to me on its own only after several hours, and even then, only if I focus on pinpointing it. This is another common experience that I have with Profumo’s creations, the feeling of being able to analyse the perfume and find all its constituent parts, yet not wanting to do so and preferring to just experience it as a whole. It’s like his perfumes are telling you they want to be experienced in a different, more meaningful way, not just as mathematical equations designed to be broken down into specific parts. Like they have a will and life of their own.

    The spices are, like in other fragrances from this house, very smoothly blended, to the point where it is actually difficult to pick them apart, despite there being a very generous portion of them in this perfume. While the official description of the fragrance lists a number of different spices, for me it is just a delightful smooth spice accord that is rising somewhere between the rose and the musk. Speaking of which, the castoreum in here is, at least to my nose, incredibly pleasant. I don’t smell a single “dirty” note, just occasional subtle leathery nuances along with beautiful clean muskiness. I have no frame of reference for what ambrette actually smells like, but based on what I read about it I would say that it is featured quite prominently in this perfume, presenting itself very soon after application with that waxy-fruity note which lasts all the way to the far dry down. There is also something in this perfume that is “expanding” the muskiness of the castoreum, making it richer and perhaps a little powdery. What I also find interesting is that even after many hours, I still sense a vivid, almost citric, sour component in this perfume, which really makes the sweet components pop and keeps things fresh.

    This is yet another fragrance from Profumo which reveals a hidden gem after many hours of wear on the skin. In this case, it is a singularly beautiful musky and leathery note, strikingly beautiful in its simplicity. It hits you right in the centre of your brain, without taking any shortcuts. Smelling this stage of the dry down is a transcendent experience. It feels like the perfumed air is flowing into your nostrils on its own, and a continuous connection has been established between your conscience and the molecules of this scent. It is hard to describe, but this scent almost feels tangible, like actually drinking or eating something. All in all, Arabia is a masterful “anytime, anywhere” fragrance, to be cherished and enjoyed just because, along with a million other reasons.

    LASSEUBE – December 26, 2021

    C’est un floral épicé. La première effluve est nettement florale, avec un sous-bassement animal, typique des compositions de Dominique (qui nous dit que c’est du castoréum). Ensuite on sent beaucoup plus nettement la cannelle, le clou de girofle, ce qui fait presque penser à un pot-pourri à l’anglaise du XIX° siècle. C’est désuet, distingué et charmant.

    Isaiah – May 4, 2018

    Ravishing.

    Arabia is…stunning. The description is very accurate as this is an UPLIFTING scent. Extremely vertical, wearing Arabia is indeed being carried up the skies while staying rooted on Earth.

    The castoreum -on my skin- is subtle, enhancing the dance of the rose and the violet, spicied up by the cinnamon and lifted up by the citrusy nutmeg.

    I could easily recommend it : it goes beyond categories. This scent appeals indeed to the soul and heart more than the nose and mind. Invigorating, uplifting, like a sunray going through a crystal.

    Yet another mystical fragrance. Bravo.
