Natural and synthetic fragrances: what's the difference and which are better

Brandy Designs Khalta is a 2025 unisex perfume from Brandy Designs, a fragrance brand from the UAE.
The fragrance is released as an eau de parfum and combines two expressive directions at once: woody and aromatic.
Its composition is built around the contrast between a fresh citrus opening, a spicy-green heart and a deep leather-woody base.
Sayed Kashif Ali is the perfumer behind Khalta. In his work, fresh and herbaceous nuances gradually give way to rich oriental tones, making the fragrance sound layered and distinctive.
This is an option for those who enjoy perfumes with character, a dense texture and a long development on the skin.
An introduction to Khalta begins with bright bergamot complemented by davana and pink pepper.
Bergamot adds a sparkling citrus freshness, davana brings a soft green-herbaceous nuance, while pink pepper creates a light spicy vibration.
The opening is energetic but not sharp: it quickly prepares the way for a warmer, richer heart.
Amber, rosemary and oud unfold at the centre.
The amber accord lends warmth and a soft resinous depth, rosemary maintains the aromatic freshness, while oud adds noble woody density.
Together, these notes create a distinctive oriental character that combines dry greenery, spice and a deep woody nuance.
According to the stated characteristics, Brandy Designs Khalta has a very strong sillage.
The fragrance is especially suitable for cooler weather, evenings, formal occasions or any setting where you want to highlight your individuality.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, it can smell beautiful on both women's and men's skin, unfolding somewhat softer or sterner depending on the skin's characteristics.
No precise recommendations for applying this release to skin or clothing have been provided.
Given its powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays, assess the intensity and add more later if necessary.
The composition may last longer on fabric, so before applying it to clothing, consider the fabric's density and colour, as well as how the material reacts to perfume compositions.
No separate collection has been specified for Khalta, nor have any other concentrations of the same fragrance been listed.
Nevertheless, the release clearly demonstrates Brandy Designs' direction: rich oriental perfumery in which fresh natural accents become the foundation for an expressive woody-amber composition.
Khalta will appeal to fans of noticeable fragrances that do not seek to blend into the background.
In terms of mood, similar options include Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute, as well as Khadlaj Perfumes Arabian Treasure and Al-Shaya Alshaya Oud.
These fragrances share an interest in oriental accords, woody nuances and a rich character, while Khalta stands out through its combination of bergamot, davana, rosemary and a leather base.
If oud, amber and powerful sillage appeal to you, this perfume certainly deserves attention and a thoughtful test on the skin.
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 the composition feature bergamot, davana and pink pepper, creating a fresh, green and subtly spicy opening.
Amber, oud and rosemary emerge at the heart, adding warm resinous nuances, woody depth and aromatic character. The base is built around a leather accord, vetiver and musk.
The leather accord gives the dry-down greater density and character, while vetiver accentuates its dry woody facet and musk softens and rounds out the composition.
Overall, the note pyramid belongs to the aromatic and woody fragrance families, with amber, green, citrus, spicy, leathery and musky nuances.
