About This Perfume

Mersal by Emirates Pride Perfumes is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Mersal was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas. Top note is Sicilian Bergamot; middle note is Patchouli; base note is Incense. "Messages are usually written, phoned or emailed. But our message today is a bottle of perfume addressed to the people of the UAE in particular and the Arab countries in general. A message witnessed by the towering Alps and written by the expert in the field of perfume design, Mr.Alberto Morellas. This fragrance revolves around Fresh Leather having a subtle smell that will remind you of our great prairies, deserts and mountains. Quite light on the nose. The luxury of Italian bergamot is perfectly fixed as a top note and at the heart of the fragrance we are attracted to the flower of the patchouli, a strong, slightly sweet, intoxicating scent. The bottom note is made of incense which is spiritually grounding, calming and extremely relaxing." - a note from the brand.

Is Emirates Pride Right for You?

Best for: oud purists who want traditional Emirati agarwood-leather perfumery and are prepared to pay for it, this is the most premium, most oud-forward house on Scendira. Sample first if: you've never worn real agarwood oud before, since it's a stronger, smokier profile than Western "oud" fragrances. Skip if: you're on a budget, the $179 median is the highest of any brand in this collection group. Leather and Woody have lower-priced alternatives with a similar profile.
