About the Fragrance: "Riyād means gardens and meadows in Arabic and even in this megacity I found cool, quiet corners and verdant courtyards, havens in the middle of this huge kingdom. This parfum evokes the languorous heat of late afternoon, a warm welcome into a hidden garden with the famous Saudi hospitality," Nick Steward, Founder Ar Riyad is inspired by warm hospitality in an elegant, shaded garden. This parfum (concentrated at 36%) opens with vervain oil – bringing a sparkling golden feeling on skin – alongside bergamot, bitter almond and ginger (a special CO2 extraction) for a refreshing dry, spicy elegance. The heart of this composition is bursting with an opulent orange blossom. I wanted to evoke the whole flower, at its fullest and most sensual in the end-of-day heat. There is also a hint of clove as well as nutmeg and ylang ylang from the Indian Ocean – imagine its petals floating in a copper basin; cumin from the spice routes further east.And the base of the composition celebrates a love for rich earthy patchouli, a “blond” tobacco (in a playful nod to shisha smoke), along with the chic luxury of olibanum and gourmand vanilla.
