Houses

Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is a long-standing Middle Eastern perfumery with deep roots in oud, incense, and traditional attars, later expanding into a broad modern retail presence. Founded in the early 20th century, the house is best known for rich woods, resins, roses, and amber styles, often offered in both contemporary spray formats and more traditional oils. Its identity is strongly tied to premium raw materials and the cultural importance of perfumery across the Gulf region.

Abercrombie & Fitch began as an American outfitter and later evolved into a mainstream lifestyle brand, with fragrances becoming a major part of its identity in the late 20th century. The house’s scents typically aim for mass-appeal freshness and an energetic, youthful feel—signature styles built for easy daily wear rather than niche experimentation. It’s a fashion/lifestyle brand first, with fragrance serving as a recognizable accessory to the overall image.
