Riwayah Amalfi
Unisex aquatic-woody fragrance extract · Sorrento lemon, aqua, blue ginger, Indian sandalwood, apple, patchouli, mint, bakhoor, dry amber, vetiver, and oak moss
The Amalfi Coast as interpreted by Dubai: a fresh, lemony marine scent that, hour after hour, sinks into a base of bakhoor, dry amber, and vetiver.
When the Mediterranean Meets Bakhoor: A Watery Fragrance with Depth
Fariis's *Riwayah Amalfi* lives up to its name: riwayah, in Arabic, it means “the story,” the tale that is told. And the story begins here, high on the Amalfi Coast, with a Sorrento lemon vibrant, juicy, and zesty, carried by a Aqua Agreement which fills the entire opening with a sea breeze. The blue ginger adds its fresh, slightly poetic zest: the opening is invigorating, clean, almost salty, like sea spray on your face.
Then the story shifts to a new setting. The heart introduces the Indian sandalwood, creamy and rich, surrounded by a apple crisp, with a patchouli earthling and a crushed mint which extends the freshness of the opening without repeating it. This transition is the fragrance’s true signature: where most aquatic fragrances lose steam after the opening, Riwayah Amalfi gains depth and complexity.
The background firmly anchors the composition in the East: the bakhoor, this traditional Gulf incense, releases its smoky, resinous wisps, accompanied by a dry ambera vetiver root-bearing and a oak moss dark and elegant. The contrast is striking and very effective: we start in the bright light of the Mediterranean and end in a fragrant majlis at dusk. And since this is a perfume extract, the highest concentration in perfumery, this scent unfolds over time, with a tenacity and presence far superior to those of a classic eau de parfum.
With its turquoise body and silver hood, the Riwayah Amalfi joins our selection of Dubai perfumes in blue bottles, these fresh, aquatic fragrances whose colors set the tone.

Bottle design
The Riwayah Amalfi bottle alone evokes the waters of the Italian coast: a rectangular body with vertical grooves, dressed in a turquoise gradient which shifts from lagoon green to pale foam at its center, like the sea as seen from the cliffs of Amalfi. On the facade, a a circular turquoise medallion with a silver engraved border features the perfume's name in Arabic calligraphy and Latin letters.
But it's the silver domed cover that steals the show: entirely carved with Baroque scrolls, it evokes both Eastern domes and Italian goldsmithing, encapsulating in a single object the dialogue between the two shores that is the very essence of the fragrance. A silver base This complete set complements this elegant bottle, which really stands out on a shelf.

Main chords
Performance & sensations
This is where the format perfume extract makes all the difference. Whereas classic aquatic fragrances evaporate within a few hours, Riwayah Amalfi settles in for the day: the citrusy, marine top note projects generously during the first few hours, then the fruity sandalwood takes over, before bakhoor and dry amber ensure a deep sillage that lingers until evening. The smoky notes from the base that rise up from a shirt collar, hours after application, are among the greatest pleasures of this fragrance.
Its dual nature makes it remarkably versatile: fresh enough for hot days, deep enough for evenings and the transitional seasons. Given its intensity, a little goes a long way: two to three sprays are more than enough, and it’s best applied to clothing as well as to the skin to fully unfold its story.
FAQ: Riwayah Amalfi by Fariis
What is a perfume extract, such as Fariis' Riwayah Amalfi?
Perfume extract is the highest concentration in perfumery, surpassing eau de parfum and eau de toilette. In practical terms, this means more fragrance oils in the bottle: better longevity, a richer sillage, and a scent that lasts longer on the skin. With Riwayah Amalfi, just a few sprays are enough to last the whole day.
Is Riwayah Amalfi a fresh fragrance or an oriental fragrance?
Both—and that’s what makes it so interesting: Riwayah Amalfi opens with a bright, citrusy aquatic note, then gradually transforms into a smoky, oriental woody scent thanks to its base notes of bakhoor, dry amber, and vetiver. If you find fresh fragrances too simple and oriental ones too heavy, this fragrance from Fariis strikes the perfect balance between the two.
Is Fariis's "Riwayah Amalfi" suitable for both women and men?
Yes, it’s truly unisex. Its fresh, citrusy, marine scent is universal, and its smoky, woody base works just as well for men as it does for women. It’s the perfect fragrance to share as a couple or to give as a gift—you can’t go wrong.
What is the best season to wear Riwayah Amalfi?
Spring and summer best showcase its citrusy top notes and oceanic freshness. But unlike classic aquatic fragrances, Riwayah Amalfi remains very compelling in the mid-season: its bakhoor-amber base note gives it the warmth that fresh fragrances usually lack when temperatures drop.
