Samar Kand opens with a splash of sweet orange over fruity osmanthus and cassis, while an aromatic-floral heart floats in amber, caramel and tonka. Patchouli, sandalwood and oud deepen the blend, forming a smooth and subtle leather-like base.

From Perfumer Rania Jouaneh
“Samar Kand is not only a city. It is an ever- ongoing exchange, cultural connection and harmony of beliefs among all humans. A fragrance that speaks a universal language, reaching beyond borders and differences. Samar Kand represents the belief that art has no limits and its beauty is meant to be shared in a spirit of mutual enrichment.”

Samar Kand opens with radiant notes of bergamot and sweet orange, leading into a nuanced blend of osmanthus, geranium, ylang-ylang, and blackcurrant that introduces floral, fruity, and subtly green tones. Its amber-tinged roundness lends a gentle sweetness, while a softly leathery undertone in the base — enriched with patchouli, sandalwood, amber, musk, and the smooth warmth of tonka bean and caramel — adds depth and quiet elegance.
