A beautiful fusion of scents from the East and the West, OJAR has been one of our favourite fragrance brands ever since its launch in 2020. Founded by Sheikha Hind Bahwan, OJAR pays tribute to the art and rituals of Middle Eastern perfume making. The collection features 18 unisex scents and is based on six ingredients, out of which three are inspired by Oman. The ingredients from Oman are the rose of Jebel Akdhar, honey from Rustaq, and Frankincense from the Dhofar region. The other three ingredients include Oud, Sandalwood, and Musk, a tribute to the modern Bedouin.
For the summer, we pick our favourite scents from OJAR that can be worn by itself or layered with different scents.
