Rahaba – Extrait de Parfum

Anfas – niche perfume house from Dubai that translates Arabic words and feelings into fragrance formulas.

Rahaba smells warm, floral-sweet and brims with a hospitable richness that unfolds slowly – orange, gin and pineapple open bright and tart, Damascena rose and Grasse rose meet velvety orris at the heart, before tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, almond and tolu balsam settle into a warm, embracing base.

Rahaba works best in the cooler months and in the evening. The unisex fragrance suits occasions where warmth and hospitality take centre stage, and doubles just as well as a year-round signature scent.

What makes Rahaba special to us is the story behind it: the name translates roughly to ‘welcome into my life’ – a perfume that doesn’t just claim hospitality, but makes it tangible, from the first burst of pineapple to the late, warm amber base.
