Unveiling the Oud Malaki Perfume Oil
Dive into the world of fragrance oils with Swiss Arabian, a leading fragrance house in the region, with their latest launch, Oud Malaki. This perfume oil is an intensely crisp and woody scent that’s both easy to wear on its own or layered, resulting in a regal olfactory that leaves a lasting trail of beautiful fragrance.
As the oil formula melts into your skin, it awakens the senses with the aromas of saffron, apple, and pink pepper. As soon as the perfume sets into place, you’re enveloped by the opulent rose and precious oud notes developed with a hint of herbal sage before the warm notes of amber, musk, and vanilla finish off your magical signature scent.
The result is an exquisite elixir that has a strong, smoky, and seductive scent perfect for both men and women. Discover the full Malaki collection from Swiss Arabian which includes a range of perfume oils including Rose Malaki, Mukhalat Malaki and Musk Malaki.

Save Your Dry Hair with Rossano Ferretti
The heat this summer is unrelenting, and one thing we can all say we’re dealing with is the consequential dry hair. We all know what that means – more frizz, breakage, tangles and dullness. This summer you’ll find relief with Rossano Ferretti’s well-formulated haircare products.
One of our favourites is their Nourishing Hair Mask which is designed with every texture of dry hair in mind. This lightweight mask will not weigh down your hair, but rather work to hydrate even the coarsest of hair. The mask contains Shea Butter to naturally soothe, moisturise and protect, Keratin to improve elasticity and protect against cuticle damage and Green Tea, a natural antioxidant with Vitamin C, E and Polyphenols to nourish, calm and soften the hair and scalp, as well as work against hair loss and add shine.
With fruity notes of Peach and Mandarin, combined with Vanilla and Caramel, this nourishing mask thoroughly destresses hair and leaves it softer, shinier and more manageable.
Available at EnerBeauty.com, Namshi.com and TheSecretSkin.com.
