About This Perfume
Swiss Arabian Kawthar smells like rose petals over warm, woody amber. It opens with Turkish rose, moves into Cambodian oud and Spanish saffron and settles on Indian amber. It reads unisex.
It works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for date nights.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and warm for date nights.
- Sample first if: oud is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike amber fragrances.
Around $38.

How the picks are built
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Tonka (perfume oil, 2023) reads as warm almond cake with vanilla frosting and a whisper of cinnamon spice, opening on almond and drying down to tonka bean, vanilla and amberwood. Swiss Arabian Incense 01 (Eau de Parfum, 2025) is described as smoky incense with warm spiced nuts and dark chocolate; the opening brings frankincense and bergamot, and the base settles on vanilla, cashmere wood and cedarwood. Expect sweet apple and grapes over warm caramel and woody suede from Swiss Arabian Casablanca (Eau de Parfum, 2016), with wine grape and apple up top and balsam, amber and vanilla underneath.
