With pride and captivating grandeur, Amiri takes you into a world of strength and mystery — a fragrance story carrying its noble, majestic essence in its most magnificent form, crafted by perfumer Miroslav Petkov.

The Story

Arabian Oud built Amiri around a fusion of brightness and sophisticated strength, released in 2022 as a fragrance meant to draw undoubted attention. It's since become one of the house's most talked-about and best-regarded modern releases, with fans describing it as "the kind of scent that says: do you dare to wear me, because I am special."

The Scent

It opens with a vivid blend of tangerine, bergamot, and pink pepper — zesty, citrusy, and lightly spicy, an invigorating introduction that sets a confident, regal tone.

The heart brings nutmeg, cedar, and patchouli together, gaining depth and richness — creamy cedar and earthy patchouli combine for what more than one reviewer calls a standout note pairing.

The base settles into amber, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk, delivering a warm, luxurious finish — elegant, dry cedarwood and creamy sandalwood meet a powdery musk and a subtly sweet close.

An Honest Note on the Opening

The beautiful tangerine opening is genuinely short-lived — for some wearers, the fresh citrus fades within the first hour, giving way to a dominant, heavy wood-and-nutmeg character that a few reviewers find overwhelming on their skin. Most fans, however, describe the overall journey as complex and rewarding rather than harsh, praising the citrus-to-woody-amber progression as one of Arabian Oud's best. If your nose is sensitive to strong nutmeg-wood combinations, start with just 2-3 sprays and see how it develops before applying more.

Pro Tip

If you're new to this one, start with 2-3 sprays rather than your usual amount — it lets you appreciate the citrus opening without being overwhelmed once the nutmeg-cedar heart takes over, and you can always add more once you know how it develops on your skin.
