Inspired by the splendor of Damascus, this fragrance blends the vivacity of grapefruit with the elegance of rose. Labdanum adds a subtle amber touch that enriches the composition with a warm depth.
The cologne range has a perfume concentration of around 20%, making them longer-lasting than traditional colognes, while retaining the freshness and lightness that define this type of creation.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
It suits an unhurried afternoon with the windows open, when bright daylight gives way to a warmer, quieter atmosphere. Grapefruit keeps the mood alert, rose softens the presence, and labdanum adds just enough warmth for conversation at close quarters.
How to wear
Spring and mild summer weather suit its citrus-and-rose balance. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms for a restrained presence, then adjust after it settles. The eau de parfum format calls for a lighter hand than a traditional splash cologne; expect brightness at first, with warmer labdanum becoming more apparent as the citrus recedes.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy rose lifted by citrus rather than wrapped in sweetness. It offers a bridge between bright cologne-style fragrances and warmer floral perfumes, appealing to tastes that favour clarity, restrained amber depth and an uncluttered composition.
Release year
2025 (or 2024)
The nose
Brahim Mohamed is Mabra’s creator and perfumer. Self-taught through years of reading and research, he builds fragrances around personal experiences and creative interests rather than externally prescribed briefs. In Damascus Cologne, his approach takes a concise form: grapefruit, rose and labdanum evoke the city through brightness, floral elegance and warmth.
Mabra’s story
Mabra is an independent, artisanal house rooted in Brahim Mohamed’s personal approach to perfumery. Its fragrances are made in small batches and assembled, bottled and packaged by hand in his French workshop. Craftsmanship, natural materials and sustainable values guide the house’s stated philosophy.
Damascus Cologne | كولونيا دمشق’s concept
Damascus Cologne draws its inspiration from the splendor of Damascus, expressed through lively grapefruit, elegant rose and the amber-like warmth of labdanum. It belongs to Les Colognes en Voyage, Mabra’s destination-themed collection, translating a sense of place into a fresh floral composition rather than reconstructing a historical perfume.
Extra info
The house sells the fragrance under the name Damas, alongside its Arabic name, within Les Colognes en Voyage. The official presentation names grapefruit, rose and labdanum without assigning them fixed top, heart or base positions.
