King’s Harem

King’s Harem by AHWAZ

AHWAZ is a luxury Arabian perfumery house known for translating the opulence of Middle Eastern royal traditions into modern niche fragrances. King’s Harem captures that lineage in a single bottle: a deeply oriental composition built around rose, oud, saffron, and warm spices, evoking the legendary perfume chambers of ancient Persian palaces where royalty surrounded themselves with the most prized scents in the world.

Our interpretation captures the same regal Arabian elegance at €49 for a full 50ml of long-lasting Eau de Parfum.

Bottle size: 50ml
Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil)
Made in EU

How It Smells

The opening is immediately opulent — saffron and bergamot lifted with a touch of pink pepper that gives the composition a regal, slightly metallic warmth from the first spray. There’s no shy citrus introduction here; King’s Harem announces itself with confidence.

The heart unfolds into deep Bulgarian rose and Damascus rose absolute, joined by a hint of jasmine and the warmth of cinnamon. It’s the floral heart of a thousand-and-one nights, dressed in cashmere and gold. The dry-down is where King’s Harem becomes unforgettable: rich agarwood (oud), warm amber, soft leather, and Indonesian patchouli create a base that lingers on skin and fabric for hours like an heirloom passed through generations.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We don’t claim this is identical — no dupe ever truly is. What we’ve built is a faithful interpretation of King’s Harem’s opulent Arabian signature: the same saffron-rose opening, the same lush floral heart, the same warm oud-amber base. The original is typically sold at premium niche prices (€100+); ours is €49 for the same 50ml format with up to 40% perfume oil concentration — typically 8 to 10 hours on skin, longer on fabric.

Who It’s For

King’s Harem is genuinely unisex and built for evening — autumn and winter at its most beautiful, when the warm oud and leather base really come through. Reads as sophisticated, well-traveled, deliberately chosen. Pairs naturally with fine wool, cashmere, leather, and other oriental or oud fragrances if you layer.
