Pistachio: what it smells like and what to wear with the main note of summer 2026

Ahmed Al Maghribi Kawkab is a unisex perfume released by Ahmed Al Maghribi in 2025.
It is an eau de parfum with a distinctive oriental-woody character, blending floral, fruity and spicy nuances with a deep amber and woody base.
The release continues the aesthetic of the house, which was founded in the United Arab Emirates in 2016.
Ahmed Al Maghribi is known for rich compositions with a pronounced presence of oriental accords, and Kawkab confidently upholds this DNA while offering a modern and striking olfactory profile.
The fragrance opens brightly and unfolds in layers: a fresh citrus burst gradually acquires juicy fruity softness, floral transparency and spicy warmth.
As the composition develops, it becomes denser, revealing tea-like and ambery nuances, the powdery sophistication of iris and a gourmand touch of praline.
In the base, Kawkab takes on a dark, woody volume.
Oud, cedar, guaiac wood and nagarmotha create a rich, slightly smoky backdrop, while patchouli, musk and tonka bean make the finish rounder, warmer and longer-lasting.
Kawkab is presented as a unisex fragrance, so its character may unfold differently on women's and men's skin.
It feels especially at home in cool weather, in the evening, at a special event or whenever a noticeable fragrance signature is appropriate.
The composition has very strong sillage: the fragrance quickly creates a perceptible cloud around the wearer and can linger in the air for a long time.
Exact recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to start with a small number of sprays and gradually assess its intensity on your own skin.
No separate collection for Kawkab has been specified.
At the same time, the fragrance clearly demonstrates the signature style of Ahmed Al Maghribi: a love of rich oriental materials is combined here with a fresh opening, floral fluidity and contemporary gourmand softness.
Those interested in rich unisex compositions with an oriental mood, woody nuances and pronounced sillage should take a closer look at The Spirit of Dubai Turath.
For comparison, Lattafa Perfumes Masa and Nabeel Khamis Anis are also worth considering: they help illustrate how differently spicy, ambery and woody accords can sound in modern Arabic perfumery.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes of Kawkab are built around bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, joined by mango, orange blossom, peony, rose, pink pepper, and saffron.
This creates an opening that is simultaneously sparkling, fruity, floral, and spicy, while the citrus freshness quickly takes on an expressive oriental character.
The heart of the composition reveals amber, black tea, iris, praline, rose, and saffron. It combines the tea's gentle astringency, powdery floral softness, and the sweet, warm accent of praline.
The base notes feature cedar, guaiac wood, nagarmotha, oud, patchouli, tonka bean, and musk.
These notes create a dense woody-ambery drydown with smoky, spicy, and gently sweet nuances.
The overall composition is defined by the striking contrast between the radiant citrus opening and the deep woody base.
Bergamot adds freshness, while saffron connects the top, heart, and base notes, giving the fragrance its distinctive spicy edge.
