- Haute perfumery meets Arabic Art



- Paris Gallery, the leading luxury retailer in the region, announced the launch of MORESQUE, a brand that pays tribute to the legacy of Arabic perfumery, art and culture. The brand’s name and identity take inspiration from the splendor of Moorish civilization and architecture. MORESQUE, is a brand that can express the creativity that is quintessential of a 'Made in Italy' Brand. MORESQUE perfumes are available exclusively at Paris Gallery stores in Al Ain Mall (Al Ain), Marina Mall (Abu Dhabi), Dubai Festival City, The Dubai Mall and City Centre Mirdif (Dubai).

MORESQUE offers a collection of evocative, exclusive and modern fragrances that embody the reminiscent “scents of the Orient”, combined with Italian fineness, design and taste. MORESQUE creates olfactory sensations and “Haute Parfumerie” products that reveal subtle luxury, style and distinction.

Obsessed by the craft of perfumery, MORESQUE only uses rare and precious raw materials of the highest quality. The result is the creation of seven genderless Eau de Parfum, divided in three collections: Black, White and the Art Collection.

MORESQUE offers a diversified and true olfactive experience via: Eau de Parfum, Esprit de Parfum, Candles.

EAU DE PARFUM

In the BLACK collection, MORESQUE presents three audacious and intense olfactive directions:

Emiro, the olfactory tribute to the “Emirs”, to the monarchs and those in command. A floral-leather perfume that uses geranium Pantelleria, supported by contemporary and exotic patchouli from Indonesia.



Al-Andalus recalls the vibrancy and the blazing sun of Andalusia. A fiery and seductive oriental scent, which diffuses the blazing sun of Andalusia and the warmth of Oud from Jakarta.



Rand pays homage to the “desert flower.” A floral-oriental olfactory blend rooted in powdery iris from Florence.


The WHITE collection is more ethereal and refined:

Diadema takes its name from “diadem”, the distinguishing symbol of sovereignty and nobility. A gourmand perfume that celebrates sovereignty and nobility through the sweetness of caramel.


Moreta, the Spanish word to define a stunning, attractive woman of ravishing femininity who knows how to win attention. A fruity-floral-woody juice, led by sensuous Caribbean ylang-ylang, that expresses voluptuousness, charm and natural charisma.

Retail price: AED 1290 (50 ml)

Tamima, an olfactory allegory to the princess and poet Tamima, wife of the Almoravid Sultan Ali ibn Yusuf of Morocco. A floral-woody mélange fortified by notes of cashmeran and inspired by the story of the princess and poet Tamima, wife of the Almoravid Sultan Ali Ibn Yusuf of Morocco.


The ART collection comes in one unique Eau de Parfum - Aristoqrati, a woody-spicy fragrance sublimed by Madagascar vetiver that encapsulates the spirit of the aristocratic dynasties of the Middle East and hints at a particular bond between the sense of nobility and arts.



ESPRIT DE PARFUM

With a desire to perpetuate the tradition, MORESQUE creates “Esprit de Parfum” as another powerful reminder that scented oils have their roots in Arabic perfumery culture. Neither an Eau de Parfum nor an Extrait de Parfum, Esprit de Parfum is an extremely concentrated scented oil that explores the “Spirit” and key essences of the brand's perfumes. Those two distinct collections of Esprit de parfum, encapsulated in sumptuous crystal flacons, embody the essential expression of the Eau de Parfum Tamima (WHITE collection), Al-Andalus (BLACK collection) and Aristoqrati (ART collection).



CANDLES

For those who want to plunge into a vivid oriental atmosphere in the comfort of their own homes, MORESQUE offers a range of fragranced candles made of mineral and vegetal waxes. The candles infuse the compelling scents of Tamima (WHITE collection), Al-Andalus (BLACK collection) and Aristoqrati (ART collection).


MORESQUE is about mesmerizing scents and “Haute Parfumerie” creations that exude style, luxury and distinction.
