Royal by Maa Althahab: A New Indie Gem Finally Arrives in the U.S.
Fragrance lovers searching for a niche, feminine-leaning perfume with Middle Eastern elegance will be thrilled to discover Royal by Maa Althahab — now available exclusively on our website for the first time in the United States. Crafted between Egypt and Turkey, this limited-release eau de parfum has become a quiet obsession among niche fragrance collectors in Europe, and is finally ready to make its debut for American perfume enthusiasts. Opening with a radiant burst of bergamot and juicy black currant, Royal immediately draws you in with a sweet, fruity charm that feels both modern and opulent.

As the scent evolves, soft clouds of jasmine and iris bloom into a powdery, tea-like heart that evokes the sensation of sipping blueberry and jasmine tea at sunrise over the Arabian desert. It’s a serene yet sensual blend — airy, luminous, and unmistakably feminine. The base settles into creamy vanilla, smooth musk, and a touch of sandalwood, giving Royal a slightly woody warmth and a beautifully rounded finish. With moderate projection and a slightly-longer-than-average longevity of 6–8 hours, it’s a versatile signature scent that performs effortlessly in any season and is PERFECT for the office - in fact your colleagues may beg you to wear it more often.

Royal by Maa Althahab is available in very limited quantities at $120 for a 75 ml bottle, with pre-orders opening December 5. If you love sweet, powdery, fruity niche perfumes with authentic Middle Eastern craftsmanship and Western wearability, this is one you’ll want to secure before it sells out. Seasoned fragrance collectors already know — this is a treasure that won’t stay in stock for long.
