Swiss Arabian Inara Eau de Parfum
A bright fruity floral of mandarin, peach, rose and soft musk from Swiss Arabian, an easy everyday scent for South African weather.
Swiss Arabian Inara Eau de Parfum is a bright, fruity floral built around mandarin orange, peach and rose over a soft musk-sandalwood base.
What does Inara smell like?
Inara opens on mandarin orange and bergamot, a fresh citrus start typical of Swiss Arabian's lighter florals. The heart brings peach, cassis, rose and jasmine together for a juicy, romantic floral core. It closes on musk, benzoin, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli, keeping the base soft and powdery rather than heavy, so the fragrance stays wearable throughout.
- Top notes: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot
- Heart notes: Peach, Cassis, Rose, Jasmine

Performance and when to wear it
Inara is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the musk and sandalwood base keeping the citrus-fruity top notes company for several hours. It suits daytime wear, warm South African weather and casual settings, since the fruity floral profile never becomes heavy or overly sweet. Two to three sprays is a comfortable amount for everyday use.
Who is it for?
Inara is aimed at women who enjoy fresh, fruity florals with a soft musky finish rather than a dense oriental scent. It is a good pick for anyone new to Swiss Arabian looking for an easy, everyday floral at an accessible price point, and a comfortable option for the office or a casual lunch outing.
