Evoke the Location
On the glittering shores of the Mediterranean lies Oran, a city of rhythm, passion, and golden light. Known as the “jewel of Algeria’s coast,” Oran pulses with music, sea breeze, and timeless elegance. It’s a city where cultures meet and stories dance on the ocean wind. Oran, the fragrance, captures that spirit the freshness of the sea, the warmth of the sun, and the heartbeat of a city that never stops dreaming.
Cultural or Historical Story
Founded in the 10th century by Andalusian traders, Oran grew into one of North Africa’s most vibrant port cities a melting pot of cultures shaped by Arab, Berber, Spanish, Ottoman, and French influences. Its harbor became the gateway between Africa and Europe, where spices, silk, and perfume ingredients once changed hands under golden sunsets.
In the 20th century, Oran rose to fame as the birthplace of Raï music, the sound of freedom and expression a soulful blend of tradition and modernity that echoed through the city’s winding streets. The air in Oran was rich with contrast: the salty breeze of the sea mixed with aromas of orange blossom, cedar, and freshly brewed mint tea.
To this day, Oran embodies resilience, beauty, and cultural harmony a city where past and present coexist effortlessly. The fragrance Oran pays tribute to this spirit of connection bold, radiant, and full of life.
How Scent Mirrors the Place
Oran is a fragrance that balances freshness with depth an olfactory reflection of the city itself. It opens with bright citrus and sea salt notes, capturing the refreshing breeze that rolls off the Mediterranean. Hints of bergamot and neroli bring to mind the scent of sun-warmed skin and orange trees blooming along Oran’s coast.
The heart of the scent reveals jasmine, cedarwood, and amber, mirroring the golden hues of the city at dusk. Jasmine adds elegance and warmth, while cedar anchors the fragrance in a sense of calm strength like the stone architecture standing proud against the sea winds. Amber introduces sensual depth, a whisper of Oran’s rich cultural layers and romantic soul.
Finally, the base of tonka bean, white musk, and driftwood evokes serenity the quiet after the music fades, the cool touch of night air against warm skin. It’s a fragrance that lingers, confident yet soft, evoking Oran’s endless charm.
