TBILISI Perfume: Turkish Roses Meet Deep Oud
Named after the enchanting capital of Georgia, where East meets West at a cultural crossroads, TBILISI Perfume captures that same spirit of duality. It is a fragrance that speaks two languages fluently, blending the floral elegance of European perfumery with the deep, resinous soul of the East.
The Opening: Rose and Violet
TBILISI opens with a striking combination of rose and violet. The rose here is different from the one in AROMA, where it takes a more jammy, opulent form. In TBILISI, the rose is cooler, more powdery, tempered by the green, slightly metallic quality of violet.
This pairing creates an opening that feels like a European garden in late spring. There is a softness and a romance to it, but also an underlying complexity that signals much more is coming. Violet, in particular, adds an iris-like quality that lends sophistication from the very first spray.
The Journey: From Floral to Wood
What makes TBILISI fascinating is its transformation over time. Unlike fragrances that shift gradually, TBILISI undergoes a dramatic evolution. The light, floral opening gives way to a rich, woody heart that feels like an entirely different fragrance.
The aromatic and oud qualities begin to surface within the first hour, weaving through the lingering florals like dark threads through silk. Vanilla enters the picture, not as sweetness but as warmth, a kind of golden glow that connects the floral top to the woody base.
TBILISI is a fragrance of contrasts. It opens like a European spring garden and finishes like an Arabian oud ceremony. The journey between the two is what makes it unforgettable.
The Base: Musk and Warmth
The base of TBILISI settles into a clean, warm musk that feels like a second skin. It is neither heavy nor loud but rather an intimate warmth that stays close to the body. This musky base is what gives TBILISI its all-day wearability.
For those who find pure oud compositions too intense, TBILISI offers a gentler path into the world of oud fragrances. The musk tempers the wood, creating something that is approachable without sacrificing depth.
Performance and Versatility
Longevity: Seven to nine hours on skin
Projection: Moderate, with a warm close aura in the dry-down
Sillage: Gentle but noticeable, perfect for close encounters
Season: Year-round, though particularly beautiful in spring and autumn
TBILISI is one of the most versatile fragrances in our collection. Its moderate projection makes it ideal for the UAE climate even during warmer months, and its evolution from fresh to warm means it adapts to the temperature throughout the day.
Styling TBILISI
This fragrance pairs beautifully with:
Business attire: The clean musk base keeps it professional
Smart casual: The rose-violet opening adds a touch of elegance to relaxed settings
Evening wear: The oud dry-down comes alive in cooler evening air
How does TBILISI differ from AROMA?
Both feature rose and oud, but their approaches are worlds apart. AROMA is a classic rose-oud with saffron intensity, while TBILISI takes a softer path through violet and musk. AROMA projects more strongly, TBILISI is more intimate. They complement each other beautifully in a collection.
Is TBILISI a good starter oud fragrance?
Yes. Its floral opening and musky base make the oud accessible to those who are new to the note. It is a wonderful gateway into our oud collection before progressing to bolder compositions like 1971.
Can women wear TBILISI?
TBILISI is a true unisex fragrance. The violet and rose opening has a quality that many women find particularly appealing, while the woody base ensures it never reads exclusively feminine. It is one of our most gender-fluid offerings.
TBILISI Perfume is available at 200 AED. It is a fragrance for those who appreciate nuance, for those who understand that the most interesting stories have more than one chapter.
