Swiss Arabian Kashkha Eau de Parfum
A spicy, oud-centred fragrance for women of apple, cinnamon, saffron and woody amber, best suited to cooler weather and evening wear.
Swiss Arabian Kashkha Eau de Parfum is an oriental spicy fragrance for women built around apple, cinnamon and oud, with a woody amber base.
What does Kashkha smell like?
Kashkha opens with apple, cinnamon and bergamot, a warm fruity-spicy start. The heart is where the fragrance shows its Arabian roots, combining agarwood, marigold, saffron, cardamom and cloves into a dense, spicy floral core. It closes on cedar, sandalwood, musk, amber, vetiver and oak, a woody, ambery base that Swiss Arabian markets as an expression of stylish, extravagant femininity.
- Top notes: Apple, Cinnamon, Bergamot

Performance and when to wear it
Kashkha is typically long-lasting on skin, with the oud and woody amber base giving it strong staying power. Its spice and oud character suits cooler weather and evening wear in South Africa better than a hot summer's day. One or two sprays is generally enough given the fragrance's density and projection.
Who is it for?
Kashkha suits women who want a fruity, spicy oud fragrance with real presence, rather than a light floral. It is a good choice for anyone who enjoys Swiss Arabian's more traditional, oud-centred compositions and wants a statement scent for cold-weather occasions, particularly evenings out or formal gatherings where a stronger fragrance feels appropriate.
