Samad Fragrances

Samad Fragrances, a small British niche house of alcohol-free perfume oils

Samad Fragrances describes itself as a small British niche house. Its activity centres on alcohol-free perfume oils, produced in small batches and finished in the UK with internationally sourced ingredients. The house states that it formulates its own scents instead of reproducing mainstream designer fragrances, and that every oil it sells is alcohol-free.

The catalogue combines seven perfume oils with a single eau de parfum, Exotic Oud, built on oud, rose and saffron. The brand presents its oils as lasting twelve hours or more on skin.
