This SEVEN SCENTS OF UAE project took The Scent Library more than two years to initiate, partnering with Saeed Alnuaimi and other international perfumers. Today, we invite you on a journey to explore the inception of the idea and the creation of these exquisite fragrances.

What is truly remarkable about Abu Dhabi, as described by the perfumer and Mr. Saeed Alnuaimi, is its status as the capital of the UAE. From the plane, the juxtaposition of the city against the desert reveals a verdant oasis known as Liwa. Upon arrival, the lush greenery, vegetables, and flowers amidst the desert inspired the infusion of lemon and jasmine into our perfumes. As we strolled along the Corniche Road, surrounded by palm trees, the decision was made to incorporate sandalwood into our blend.
