Essence Othman — a rich unisex fragrance
Essence Othman is an extrait de parfum by Essence, a Saudi Arabian fragrance brand, released in 2023.
This unisex composition has an expressive character, blending floral softness with green, spicy, woody and ambery nuances.
The fragrance belongs to the floral and woody families and is intended for those who enjoy noticeable, multilayered and long-lasting perfume accords.
Essence Othman opens brightly and expansively from the very first seconds.
A green pepper leaf note and piquant pink pepper create a lively, slightly sparkling opening, while the white-floral theme quickly adds sensuality to the composition.
The central impression is tuberose — rich, creamy and prominent, yet still touched by freshness.
The fragrance pyramid and development on skin
At the heart, the fragrance becomes rounder and more floral.
Gardenia and rose soften the spicy-green opening, while vetiver adds a dry woody facet, allowing the composition to remain balanced rather than turning into an overly sweet white-floral bouquet.
As it develops, Essence Othman grows warmer and deeper.
The base is built around amber, cashmeran and honey. The ambery accord brings warmth and density, cashmeran creates a soft woody-musky texture, and honey adds a refined sweetness.
The result is a rich, noticeable and enveloping trail with the characteristic intensity of an extrait de parfum.
Character, sillage and wearability
According to its positioning, Essence Othman has a very powerful sillage.
For this reason, the fragrance is best suited to cool weather, evenings, special occasions and situations where an expressive perfume presence is appropriate.
In summer and indoors, some caution is advisable: the dense floral-amber composition may come across as particularly intense.
There are no precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing, but the extrait concentration and very powerful sillage suggest a restrained approach.
Start with one spray on the skin and assess its development after a few minutes.
The fragrance should also be applied carefully to clothing so that its honeyed-amber character remains elegant rather than overwhelming the overall look.
Brand style and similar fragrances
Essence Othman effectively demonstrates the direction in which Essence works: a rich composition, noticeable sillage and a combination of striking floral notes with a warm oriental base.
The lack of information about the perfumer does not prevent us from appreciating the release's main concept — to create an expressive fragrance with a strong presence and an inclusive gender positioning.
Those interested in compositions with a similar mood may wish to explore Guerlain Jardins de Bagatelle, Nabeel Hayati and The Spirit of Dubai Durra.
They offer an opportunity to continue exploring grand floral and oriental interpretations, although Essence Othman retains its own profile through the combination of tuberose, a spicy opening, cashmeran and honeyed amber.
