Jabal Shams

Jabal Shams by Florian Pontier is a spicy, woody fragrance released in 2025 and composed by Laure-Leta Jacquet. It is presented as shared, with only a hint of sweetness, musk and amber softening its dry character.

The opening is a spice-and-resin blend: black, pink and plain pepper give a dry, tingling start, cardamom a cool, aromatic spice and saffron a warm, leathery note. Juniper and fir add a crisp, resinous, forest-like freshness. The heart and base are built on woods: agarwood, or oud, brings a deep, smoky, resinous character, cypress a green, slightly resinous dryness, papyrus a smoky, earthy note and amberwood a dry, glowing warmth. Tonka bean and musk soften the finish.

The resinous fir and juniper give it an austere, outdoorsy feel. Worn by anyone, it suits autumn and winter, evenings and occasions where a spicy, woody scent with presence feels right.
