Set by Aswan is a 2025 release composed by perfumer Ibrahim Al Zoabi. It opens with ylang-ylang, clary sage, and mandarin orange accented by orange blossom, moving into a heart of labdanum, amber, vetiver, and iris. The base blends patchouli, vanilla, tobacco, and heliotrope with a powdery facet. The overall character is an amber-vanillic profile with aromatic, floral, and tobacco nuances. In the vast Egyptian desert, the air shimmers with the wild promise of adventure. The first breath of Set is a dance of ylang ylang and clary sage, brightened by the fruity zest of mandarin orange and the gentle whisper of orange blossom. It is the spark before the storm, a fragrant wind carrying secrets from distant lands. As the storm settles, Set’s heart emerges, rich and commanding. Labdanum’s resinous warmth evokes ancient sands and sacred rituals, while Amber glows like molten sunlight, radiant and eternal. Vetiver’s deep, earthy roots anchor the scent to the fertile Nile, a land Set both guards and challenges. The noble iris, with its powdery elegance, adds a refined touch, like carvings ontemple walls. This is Set’s core—powerful and complex, a force of nature both revered and feared. As dusk falls, the desert cools, and Set’s base notes linger like an ancient legend. Patchouli’s earthy depth ties the fragrance to the land, while Vanilla offers a comforting sweetness, a reminder of life’s resilience. Tobacco’s smoky richness mirrors Set’s fiery spirit, and Heliotrope’s almondy sweetness, paired with soft Powdery Notes, wraps the perfume in charming mystery. These notes endure, leaving an unforgettable trace, like Set’s timeless myth. This is Set, a fragrance that embraces the storm within to find the power in chaos.
