# OJAR Perfumes - Omani Heritage Meets Modern Niche Fragrances
## The Story of OJAR - Omani Heritage in Modern Perfumery
OJAR was founded by Sheikha Hind Bahwan, an Omani entrepreneur with a Harvard Business School education and a deep passion for perfumery. The brand name derives from "HOJARI" - the finest quality frankincense resin sourced from Oman's Dhofar mountains. This cultural connection isn't coincidental but forms the heart of the brand's philosophy.
The inspiration for OJAR began in Sheikha Hind's hometown of Sur, where her mother introduced her to the world of fragrances. These early experiences with Oman's aromatic traditions shaped her vision: creating a bridge between the rich perfumery heritage of the Middle East and contemporary Western influences.
Since its founding in 2020, OJAR has evolved into an internationally recognized niche fragrance brand. The fragrances are now available in over 20 countries through more than 300 points of sale, including prestigious locations like Harrods in London. This rapid expansion demonstrates how successfully OJAR has balanced traditional craftsmanship with modern appeal.
What makes OJAR special is its use of authentic Omani ingredients. Three of the six core ingredients come directly from Oman: frankincense from the Dhofar mountains, rose from Jebel Akhdar, and honey from Rustaq. This geographical grounding gives every OJAR fragrance an unmistakable authenticity that you rarely find in other niche fragrances.
The brand encourages fragrance layering, following traditional Middle Eastern perfume rituals. This approach allows wearers to create personalized scent combinations, making each OJAR experience unique to the individual.
## OJAR Signature Collections - Masterpieces of Perfume Art
The OJAR collection is built around six core ingredients: Oud, Rose, Frankincense, Honey, Sandalwood, and Musk. This foundation enables both individual wear and traditional Middle Eastern layering - a concept OJAR actively promotes.
A standout in the collection is [Ciel d'Orage](/perfume/ojar-ciel-d-orage), created by perfumer [Jordi Fernández](/perfumer/jordi-fernandez). This [smoky](/style/smoky) fragrance combines artemisia and saffron with majestic gaiac wood, evolving into a refined base of suede and oud. The composition showcases OJAR's ability to harmoniously blend complex aromatics.
[Infusion Velours](/perfume/ojar-infusion-velours) demonstrates another facet of the brand. Here, dark berries meet frankincense and oud, while [spicy](/style/spicy) notes of black pepper and cinnamon add depth. This creation shows how OJAR translates traditional ingredients into contemporary compositions.
The innovative "Absolute" perfume oil with its dual cap - featuring both glass rod applicator and roll-on - is OJAR's signature product. These alcohol-free, highly concentrated oils (25%) offer an intense fragrance experience and reflect traditional Arabic perfume culture.
For creation, OJAR collaborates with the renowned Swiss perfume house Givaudan. Perfumers like Jordi Fernández, Dalia Izem, and Michel Girard contribute their expertise to realize OJAR's vision of modern oriental fragrances. You can test these masterpieces as samples before committing to full sizes.
The brand's unisex approach appeals to anyone seeking personal expression through scent, regardless of traditional gender boundaries in perfumery.
