Suhad Perfumes Reem — a floral fragrance with an oriental character
Suhad Perfumes Reem is a unisex fragrance in an oil perfume format, released in 2021.
The composition belongs to the floral family and combines an expressive white-floral accent with the soft, distinctive scent of jasmine.
This fragrance is for those who enjoy rich compositions without strictly associating them with either a feminine or masculine wardrobe.
The release was created by Suhad Perfumes, a Kuwaiti niche house founded in 2005 by Suhad Al-Qen.
The brand combines Eastern hospitality, a love of luxurious perfumery materials, and a European approach to creating compositions.
Reem fits this aesthetic perfectly: it smells noticeable, refined, and full of character.
The fragrance’s character and development
Floral notes and jasmine take center stage here.
Thanks to its oil concentration, the fragrance feels dense and seamless, while its scent gradually unfolds closer to the skin, retaining its expressive floral profile.
The top, heart, and base notes have not been specified separately, so it is more accurate to describe the composition through its overall accord rather than attribute unconfirmed nuances to it.
Jasmine gives Reem a warm white-floral tone that can sound both sensual and elegant.
This is not a universal “transparent” floral fragrance, but a more noticeable option for occasions when you want to emphasize the presence of your perfume.
It can be especially well suited to evening looks, formal events, and cooler seasons.
Sillage and wearability
Suhad Perfumes Reem is described as having very strong sillage, so it should be applied with caution.
Oil perfumes are best applied sparingly to pulse points, such as the wrists, the bends of the elbows, or behind the ears, without rubbing the fragrance into the skin.
The exact recommended amount for skin and clothing is not specified in the database; for a first trial, a minimal amount is sufficient.
The fragrance is positioned as unisex and can smell different on each person.
On one skin type, jasmine may take center stage; on another, it may become a softer, creamier floral accent.
To assess its true development, it is best to test Reem on your skin and give it time to reveal itself rather than judge it solely by the first impression.
The perfumer and similar fragrances
The composition was created by Suhad Al-Qenaei.
Her work with floral and jasmine notes supports the signature sense of Eastern expressiveness while keeping the fragrance universally positioned in terms of gender.
If you are interested in floral compositions with a distinctive character, you might compare it with Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige.
This is not an identical copy of Reem, but rather a reference point for further exploring fragrances centered on a rich floral impression and a memorable presence.
What to know before trying it
No other concentrations of Suhad Perfumes Reem have been announced, so it is impossible to compare it with Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, or Extrait versions.
The key factors to consider are its oil format, floral family, jasmine note, and very strong sillage.
If you enjoy noticeable unisex fragrances with a white-floral character, Reem is worth trying with a small application.
