Al-'Ula

Al-'Ula, from the German brand Les Destinations, is a woody fragrance composed by Gabriela Chelariu and released in 2023. Sweet and floral sides follow strongly, with a lighter spicy, resinous touch.

Raspberry gives a juicy, tart sweetness at the start, and elemi a lemony, peppery resin. Clove adds a warm, slightly medicinal spice that pairs naturally with the flowers. Damask rose forms the heart, rich and velvety. The base is dark and warm: oud brings a deep, smoky, slightly animalic wood, cistus a resinous, ambery richness, patchouli an earthy depth, and vanilla a soft sweetness that ties the rose and oud together.

Worn by anyone, it suggests autumn and winter, evenings and formal occasions, when its dark, resinous warmth feels most at home. It should appeal to those who like the classic pairing of rose and oud, with a fruity raspberry twist and a warm, resinous finish.
