EKHTILAF

Ekhtilaf is a unisex eau de parfum by Atyab Al Marshoud, the Kuwaiti house founded in 1925 by Sulaiman Al Marshoud and one of the oldest in Middle Eastern perfumery. It is a warm, refined spicy amber, built on a few precious elements for a soft, enveloping result.

The Fragrance

In Arabic "ekhtilaf" means "difference": a name that celebrates the uniqueness of the wearer and the distinctive character of the fragrance. The ivory bottle, decorated with a black and gold geometric pattern and topped with a gold cap, tells of its understated, timeless elegance. Like all the house's creations, it is produced in Atyab Al Marshoud's factory in France.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is aromatic and luminous: cardamom releases a fresh, refined spiciness that elegantly lights up the skin. In the heart amber warms the whole with its resinous, enveloping softness. In the base musk smooths and softens, leaving a clean, sensual and long-lasting trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Ekhtilaf To

We recommend Ekhtilaf to those who love warm, comforting perfumes, elegant without excess, to wear effortlessly at any time of day. It is ideal at the office, in free time and on evenings in the cooler months. Unisex, it appeals to those looking for a refined amber scent that is easy to wear.
