From the heart of Saudi Arabia comes Kiswa World perfumes, founded and created by certified perfumer Khalid Al-Turki. The brand is inspired by the Kiswa — the cloth that covers the Kaaba in Makkah during Hajj.
The company is based in Riyadh and has received the Saudi Made award for supporting and building local industry. It recently participated in the Saudi 100 Brands initiative.
With distinct scents that somehow manage to smell soft and strong at the same time, each spray elicits clear clouds of nostalgia and creates a whiff of freshness which can be used in any season.
His three best-selling perfumes are part of his DNA Collection, each distinctly different yet using the same cohesive palette. DNA I, DNA II and DNA III are presented in simple, clear bottles and individually packaged with a cryptic poem on the box.
DNA II, which seems to have hints of jasmine, is my current favorite. It sells for about SR432 ($114) and rivals any designer perfume from Europe. With Eid just around the corner, these perfumes are perfect Eid gifts and ship straight to your door.
The company also sells elixirs that smell of fresh berries and various flowery sprays. They also offer many other types of fragrances for your clothing and for your home.
If it’s true that scent is the juice that jolts our memory, a spritz of these indulgent perfumes can likely take you back to your past — or make people in your present remember your scent in the future.
