Amouage - Ubar Woman

Exclusive Offer

Niche luxury fragrance house Amouage has reintroduced 'Ubar' for Woman, a sophisticated and mystical perfume inspired by the rediscovery of the long lost ancient Arabian frankincense trading city of Ubar.

'Ubar' opens with a fresh and citrus aroma of Bergamot, Lemon and Lily-of-the-Valley in the top notes which then harmoniously pervades to a soft and romantically floral blend of Damascene Rose and Jasmine in the heart note. The fragrance is rounded off with sweet and velvety notes of Civet and Vanilla in the rich base.

The evocative fragrance infuses reference points from Ubar's mystery and splendour and the bottle is designed therefore to resemble a city rising from the sands.

Originally launched in 1995 and highly acclaimed by fragrance connoisseurs, 'Ubar' is crafted with and adheres to the House of Amouage's exquisitely simple philosophy of producing fragrances representing the ultimate quality of ingredients and true luxury.

Ubar, also known as The City of a Thousand Pillars, existed from ca. 2,800 B.C. to ca. 300 A.D. According to legend the city amassed fabulous wealth from trading between the coastal regions of the Arabian peninsular and the population centres of the Middle East and Europe. Modern historians regarded Ubar as a figment of mythical Arabian tales and never thought that it really existed.

Ubar is mentioned in the fabulous tales from One Thousand and One Nights. According to legend God, enraged by its decadence and profligacy, smote the city, driving it into the sands, never to be seen again.

It was first in 1992 that the city, named by Lawrence of Arabia as the “The Atlantis of the Sands” was discovered by a team of adventurers in the south of modern-day Oman. The search for the legendary city had taken 24 years.
