About This Perfume

Oryx by Gissah is a Leather fragrance for women and men. Oryx was launched in 2024. Top notes are Jasmine and Apple; middle notes are Patchouli and Saffron; base notes are Leather and Oud. Oryx by Gissah is an oriental-leathery fragrance released in 2024 and presented as a unisex composition. Inspired by the Arabian oryx, it contrasts a bright opening with a darker, more substantial drydown. The scent begins with a combination of jasmine and apple, giving a brief impression of floral freshness and fruitiness. As it develops, patchouli and saffron introduce a richer, spiced earthiness that leads into a denser base. In the drydown, oud and leather dominate, creating a bold, assertive character that emphasizes depth and presence over softness. The overall composition aligns with contemporary Middle Eastern perfumery styles, with a focus on oud and leather framed by nuanced floral and fruity touches.
