A Memoir, Bottled
A luxury Emirati fragrance house translating My Story, the memoir of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, into Extrait de Parfum, one chapter at a time.
Born from a book
Qissati means my story. The name is borrowed from the memoir of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a book of vision, setbacks, horses, and poetry, written by the man who imagined modern Dubai. Few things carry nostalgia the way scent does, except perhaps the pages of a beloved book. We brought the two together. Each fragrance even holds a touch of aged paper in its depths, the quiet, musty warmth of a book that has been read and loved.
Composed by masters
Each chapter was entrusted to master perfumers Olivier Cresp, Anne Louise Gautier, and Nathalie Templer, the noses behind some of the most celebrated fragrances of our time. The brief was never simply to make something beautiful. It was to make a memory wearable, in the richest concentration perfumery allows: Extrait de Parfum. The result is a tribute to the reader, the writer, and the leader, rendered in scent.
Your skin, your story
These are fragrances for aesthetes who are striving to become what they are. A Qissati chapter does not announce itself and disappear. Give it time to settle on your skin, and it becomes personal, shaped entirely by the one who wears it. Five chapters exist today. Like the city that inspired them, the story is still being written.
