Hikma – Gulf Orchid Eau de Parfum 100ml

Luxury oriental perfume with woody, amber and oud notes

Rose, incense, and oud in a dark, balsamic, and profoundly elegant architecture

Hikma by Gulf Orchid belongs to the realm of luxury oriental perfumery as an intense, mystical, and structured composition, where rose, incense smoke, and oud create a powerful and sophisticated signature. The fragrance conveys depth, magnetism, and olfactory authority, with a distinctly masculine character and a dark, noble, and refined aesthetic. Its identity rests on the contrast between luminous fruit, a resinous heart, and a warm, ambery, and enveloping base.

On the skin, Hikma develops a slow, progressive, and coherent evolution. The vibrant, fruity opening opens the fragrance with light and energy, the smoky floral heart introduces solemnity and mystery, and the amber base with oud and vanilla establishes a dense, sensual, and persistent trail. The fragrance is aimed at lovers of masculine Arabian perfumes who seek true depth, a dark character, and an olfactory signature with weight, presence, and sophistication. Its olfactory profile clearly connects with the intense, dark, and resinous aesthetic of rose, incense, and oud compositions in the style of Louis Vuitton's Ombre Nomade , while maintaining its own identity within the contemporary oriental fragrance language.

Top notes – Dark fruit, bright citrus, and vibrant energy

The opening combines contrast and tension from the very first moment. Red berries contribute a dark, juicy, and tangy sweetness, while orange introduces a luminous citrus burst that adds clarity and expansiveness. Blackcurrants reinforce the fruity dimension with a deep, slightly acidic, and elegant character. The initial sensation is vibrant, intense, and enveloping, with a bright, fruity texture that prepares the transition to denser, darker notes.

Heart – Mystic rose, sacred smoke and white flower

The heart of the fragrance builds its spiritual soul. The rose emerges intense, deep, and velvety, with a distinctly oriental and elegant character. The incense contributes a resinous, balsamic, and solemn smoke, creating a mystical and ceremonial atmosphere. Jasmine introduces a white floral nuance that softens the density of the incense and balances the structure with luminosity and sensuality. This phase generates an introspective, powerful, and sophisticated sensation, where flower and resin coexist in perfect harmony.

Base – Amber, oud and vanilla with a deep sillage

The base firmly establishes Hikma 's identity with authority and persistence. Amber creates a warm, enveloping, and resinous foundation, adding depth and density. Oud wood introduces a dark, noble, and oriental character with a dry, smoky, and elegant texture. Vanilla rounds out the composition with a warm, balsamic sweetness that is structural rather than gourmand, providing balance and sensuality. The sillage becomes deep, dense, and sophisticated, with a high-impact masculine signature.

Performance and use

Hikma by Gulf Orchid offers intense projection and exceptional longevity, with a persistent sillage that lingers for hours. It performs particularly well in nighttime settings, cool climates, and elegant environments, where its oriental, amber, and oud structure unfolds its full depth without sacrificing refinement.

Hikma embodies a solemn and majestic vision of masculine oriental fragrance: dark rose, sacred smoke, warm amber, and deep oud in an intense, elegant, and magnetic olfactory architecture. A creation designed for those who understand perfume as presence, identity, and quiet power.
