About This Perfume
Swiss Arabian Risala smells like sunlit herb garden with woody, earthy warmth underneath. It opens with green leaves, lemon and mint, moves into cedar, fennel and lavender and settles on hay and sandalwood. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

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.
