Kawkab by Ahmed Al Maghribi is a rich and multi-layered oriental-spicy unisex eau de parfum that takes you on an opulent fragrance journey full of contrasts – from sweet fruit, through spicy florals, to a dark woody and sensual base. Launched in 2025, this fragrance is like a star (which is what "Kawkab" means in Arabic) – distinctive, radiant and unmistakable.

Ahmed Al Maghribi Kawkab is a unisex perfume extract created for anyone who wants to wear a fragrance with a high concentration and a distinctly luxurious feel. Compared to a regular eau de parfum, an extract feels denser, more intense and often develops more slowly – giving the fragrance time to reveal its depth and subtle nuances. Kawkab is the choice for customers who appreciate character, an elegant sillage and a scent that keeps pace with your day from the very first spray through to late evening. The composition is designed to be wearable for both women and men: it doesn't come across as obvious, but rather sophisticated, with a balance between fresher and warmer notes. If you're looking for a "signature" fragrance that people will remember, Kawkab may be exactly the type that becomes your go-to. The Kawkab perfume extract stands out for its intensity and elegant, long-lasting trail.

Application

With a perfume extract, a simple rule applies: less is often more. I recommend starting with 1–2 sprays on pulse points (neck, wrists, behind the ears), as the higher concentration of fragrance ingredients develops very prominently. Do not rub the fragrance after application, so as not to disrupt its structure and allow the individual layers to develop naturally. For longer longevity, apply the extract to moisturised skin or lightly to clothing as well (test on a hidden area first). Kawkab is perfectly suited for evenings, social events, business meetings and days when you want to feel polished and confident. In warmer months, I recommend very restrained application; in winter, you'll appreciate the warmer expression and stronger projection. With an extract, 1–2 sprays are usually enough for the fragrance to last a genuinely long time.

Packaging

Kawkab is the type of product with a truly representative character – and the packaging impression matches this. The bottle is designed to look luxurious on a shelf or in a bathroom while remaining comfortable to use during everyday application. The outer box protects the extract during shipping and is also suitable for gifting, so if you're looking for a gift for a lover of Arabic fragrances, you'll have everything you need without additional wrapping. For long-term preservation of quality, I recommend storing the fragrance in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, ideally at a stable room temperature. If you frequently carry the perfume with you, bear in mind that extreme heat (e.g. in a car) can affect its character and longevity. The representative bottle and box make Kawkab an excellent gift for both women and men.

Composition

A perfume extract typically contains alcohol denat., a fragrance composition (parfum) and other auxiliary ingredients; compared to an eau de parfum, it usually has a higher proportion of fragrance materials, which is reflected in its intensity and longevity. In accordance with legislation, potentially allergenic ingredients are also listed on the packaging, which may be important for sensitive customers. The composition may vary between batches, so it is always most reliable to refer to the information stated directly on the box and bottle of the specific item you have purchased. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend performing a skin test and avoiding application to irritated areas. Please also follow correct usage guidelines – the perfume is intended for external use only and should not come into contact with the eyes.

From the very first seconds, Kawkab opens with a burst of fruity and floral notes. Sweet and exotic mango, grapefruit and lemon create a juicy and fresh opening, enriched by bergamot and a gently spicy pink pepper. Elegant rose, airy peony and delicate orange blossom quickly follow, giving the fragrance a floral dimension with an oriental undertone. Saffron hints from the very beginning at the depth and luxury that will emerge in the subsequent layers.

In the heart notes, the fragrance calms and thickens. Warm amber accords appear, along with a gentle powdery touch of iris, the classic elegance of Turkish rose and a surprising note of black tea, which adds an aromatic dryness and sophistication. Saffron comes alive again here, this time more spicy and oriental.

The base of the fragrance is deep, woody and intensely sensual. Dark notes of oud wood, patchouli, cypress and smoky guaiac wood dominate. These elements intertwine with sweet tonka, soft musk and noble cedarwood, creating a long-lasting, mysterious and elegant trail.

Additional Information

Kawkab is ideal for customers who want maximum performance from a fragrance: strong projection, long longevity and a "niche" feel without compromise. The extract often behaves in such a way that it feels more intense in the first few minutes, then settles and creates a personal, elegant yet distinctive scent close to the skin and into the surrounding air. The result will be influenced by skin type, hydration level and the season – on dry skin the fragrance may require slightly more frequent reapplication, while on moisturised skin it holds noticeably longer. If you enjoy layering fragrances, try combining Kawkab with a neutral, unscented body care product to preserve the purity of the composition. For the best impression, I recommend giving the fragrance a few minutes after application to fully develop – that is when it truly reveals its depth. Kawkab is a unisex choice for those who want an intense extract with a luxurious character that lasts all day.

Kawkab is a fragrance for connoisseurs – ideal for autumn and winter, evening wear, formal occasions or any time you want to feel sophisticated and exceptional. It is a perfume for those seeking a complex oriental-spicy fragrance with fruity, floral and woody accords that literally shines like a star in the night sky.
