III THRILLER
01 Presentation
III THRILLER marks the sensational entry of ASRAR HOUSE in collaboration with CAL COLOGNE in the world of premium perfume extracts for 2026. This third opus from the house aims to redefine the codes of the unisex Oriental Woody register: where many contemporary creations focus on softness or lightness, III THRILLER assumes a sovereign depth, a spicy-waxy-woody architecture that leaves no passer-by indifferent.
From the very first seconds, a chord of black pepper, cardamom and saffron imposes itself with rare authority, tempered by the fresh bergamot and delicate resin of the’elemi - a natural gum from Southeast Asia virtually absent from mainstream fragrances. This six-note opening immediately establishes the thriller signature: electrifying, unexpected, memorable.
The heart reveals the perfume's deepest soul: a handcrafted leather dialogue with tonka bean and its bewitching milky warmth, while the’incense liturgical and clary sage bring a spiritual and vegetal dimension. The whole is rooted in a background of unprecedented richness. sandalwood, vanilla, amber, benzoin, cashmere, musk - which unfurls its layers over 8 hours, leaving a voluptuous trail on skin and fabric.
With a Fragrantica note from 3.98/5 out of 314 votes - one of the most documented for a 2026 launch - and its square matte black bottle with silver engravings, III THRILLER is one of the highlights of Parfumerie de Dubaï's Parfums en Flacon Noir collection.

Evolution on the skin
0-30 min (Head) : The opening is striking - pepper crackles with cardamom on a background of lemony bergamot. Elemi adds an almost secretive resinous-animal touch. Saffron adds immediate oriental warmth.
30 min-3 h (Heart) : Leather settles in with nobility, neither too raw nor too supple - a workshop-tanned leather. Tonka bean envelops the whole with an almondy sweetness, incense elevates the register to the sacred, while clary sage and cistus add a unique herbaceous-animal signature.
3-8 h (Bottom) : The finale is sumptuous: creamy sandalwood, deep, unsweetened vanilla, balsamic benzoin, warm amber and silky cashmere meld into an olfactory second skin. Musk, discreet but tenacious, seals the trail for hours.
