El Arrous eau de parfum 65 ml — El Nabil
El Nabil places El Arrous in its Dubaï Collection and describes it as a sensual oriental in which wood, leather and warm spices dominate. The brand classes it in the warm, spicy family, of the “spicy woods” type. The gold bottle with cut corners, topped with a clear faceted cap, bears the house’s scales logo.
Fragrance pyramid
- Top notes: saffron, bergamot
- Heart notes: rose, leather, caramel
- Base notes: patchouli, cashmere wood, cedar, vanilla
How it unfolds
The opening pairs the dry warmth of saffron with the liveliness of bergamot. The heart wraps the rose in a supple leather and a touch of caramel. Gradually, the sillage turns woody and slightly smoky: patchouli and cedar give structure, while cashmere wood and vanilla soften the finish.
Who it is for, and when
For those who like woody, spicy, leathery orientals. The brand’s sheet does not specify a gender: it can be worn by men and women alike. Saffron, caramel and vanilla come through best in autumn and winter, in the evening or for an occasion.
How to use
El Nabil advises spraying on pulse points: wrists, nape, behind the ears, décolleté or chest. Do not rub afterwards: according to the brand, the fragrance would fade faster. Two or three sprays are enough; in hot weather, just one.

Which season should I wear it in? Mostly in cool weather. In summer, reserve it for evenings and lighten the dose.
