The Rise of the Royal Gourmand: Surrati’s 2026 Trend Forecast for Arabian Perfumes
Introduction: Beyond Traditional Oud
For years, Oud has dominated the Arabian fragrance scene. However, as we move into 2026, the trend is shifting from harsh, smoky wood towards a softer, more addictive profile: the Royal Gourmand. This is where the depth of traditional Arabian perfumery meets the irresistible sweetness of Western culinary notes. Surrati is leading this movement by seamlessly blending luxurious Oud with notes like creamy vanilla, praline, and sun-riiped fruits.
Trend 1: The New Vanilla - Sweetness Meets Sophistication
Forget simple sugar. The 2026 trend for Arabian vanilla is complex and boozy, often paired with tobacco or dark amber to give it an adult edge.
-
What to Look For: Deep, resinous vanilla (often labeled as Vanilla Infusion or Absolute), combined with high-quality Oud for grounding longevity.
-
The Surrati Example: Look for our Eau de Parfums that feature a prominent amber-vanilla base for that sought-after, luxurious warmth that lasts all day.
Trend 2: The Soft Power of Unisex Scents
The line between "His" and "Hers" in perfume has completely dissolved. Consumers are seeking depth, complexity, and versatility. Arabian houses, including Surrati, have always embraced this concept, and it's now a global trend.
-
The Signature Surrati Unisex Blend: The most powerful unisex fragrances feature a core of Oud, Rose, and Saffron—the traditional golden trio. Notes like Cardamom, Cinnamon, and rich leathers are being introduced to add modern spice and texture. Our Surrati Oud Ameeri perfectly encapsulates this rich, floral-spicy balance.
Trend 3: Fruity Accords and the 'Fresh Oud'
To lighten the intensity for warmer climates and daytime wear, expect a surge in bright, top notes.
Fruity Notes to Watch: Litchi, Pineapple, and Green Apple are being used to give an invigorating lift to heavy woody bases. This creates a "fresh oud" that is vibrant on the opening but settles into the familiar, long-lasting Surrati depth.
Why Choose Surrati for 2026?
Surrati understands that longevity is non-negotiable. While Western perfumes are often fleeting, our concentrated Perfume Oils (Attars) and Eau de Parfums (EDPs) are formulated to ensure you capture these emerging 2026 trends without sacrificing the performance you expect from Arabian luxury.
