Nasir Alshimmari is one of the most brilliant and distinctive perfumers of our time, whose works have won the hearts of connoisseurs of niche oriental perfumery. His name has become synonymous with exquisite and deep oud compositions that tell stories and evoke emotions. Nasir is known for his unique approach to fragrances, combining centuries-old traditions of Arabian perfumery with modern techniques and the latest ingredients. Today, his works adorn the collections of Nara Perfumery — a brand that values luxury, craftsmanship, and unconventional solutions.
Nasir Alshimmari's career began with a genuine love for the scents of the East — resins, frankincense, oud, and rare spices. After receiving training at one of the prestigious perfumery schools, he honed his craft by creating exclusive compositions for private clients before his talent was noticed by Nara Perfumery. Collaborating with this house was a turning point: it was here that the perfumer gained complete creative freedom to realize his boldest ideas. His journey is an example of how deep knowledge of traditions and a passion for experimentation give birth to true works of art.
Nasir Alshimmari's recognizable style revolves around noble woody and resinous chords, with various types of oud at the center. The perfumer masterfully frames this heart with floral, fruity, or spicy notes, creating multifaceted compositions that sound sometimes tender, sometimes bold. A special charm of his creations lies in the ability to balance between oriental luxury and modern elegance, making the fragrances desirable for a wide audience. It is no coincidence that Nasir Alshimmari is considered a pioneer in exploring new facets of oud in niche perfumery.
The perfumer's portfolio includes dozens of memorable compositions, but the truly iconic one is Nara Perfumery - Oud Takara — a fragrance called "royal oud." Equally loved by connoisseurs are Nara Perfumery - Bamboo Forest with its atmosphere of a green temple and Nara Perfumery - Hanami, inspired by the Japanese tradition of viewing cherry blossoms. Also worth noting are the elegant Nara Perfumery - Hinoki, the resinous Nara Perfumery - Hyogo Leather, and, of course, bestsellers from the oud collection — Nara Perfumery - Oud Grove, Nara Perfumery - Oud Cambodi, Nara Perfumery - Oud Ikebana, Nara Perfumery - Oud Symphony, and the vibrant Nara Perfumery - Euphoria.
