A mountain rather than a desert

An Emirati company that operates a resort in the Swiss Alps—this comes as less of a surprise when you realize that the company in question belongs to the Cities Collection from Swiss Arabian, a line that draws inspiration from places. And the fragrance lives up to its name through its ingredients, not through a label: the cypress, l'sagebrush and the foam create a landscape of conifers and damp undergrowth, where Gulf perfumery typically uses oud and frankincense. This isn’t an oriental fragrance disguised as a green one: it’s a Western-style aromatic woody.

The opening is the brightest part, featuring four fresh notes: bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and red berries which add a juicy citrus acidity. The midpalate then takes a distinct turn: the apple and the blackcurrant bud extend the fruitiness but in a green, almost bitter version, while cypress, mugwort, and’elemi set the stage for the herbaceous aromatic note that the community ranks as its top choice. The blackcurrant bud serves as the linchpin here: it belongs to both worlds—fruit and leaf.

The background is unusually crowded, with eight subjects out of seventeen. The vetiverthe foamthe cedar and the patchouli form a green, earthy base with a classic profile, similar to what perfumers call a woody chypre. The leather alone explains the fourth and fifth notes identified by the testers—leather and animal—which give the fragrance its slightly wild character. The’amberthe musk and the vanilla They round out the flavor at the end, without ever making it too sweet.

In fact, the company has combined this product with Shaghaf Oud Marine in a single box set, The Collector’s Edition III, presented as the meeting of two contrasting worlds: the snow-capped mountain on one side, the ocean horizon on the other. Both are 2026 releases, and buying them together is therefore a deliberate move by the brand—not a promotional tie-in. Each product page details its own fragrance profile.

Main chords

These five notes—aromatic, herbaceous, fresh and spicy, leather, and animal—are based on votes from the Fragrantica community, not on laboratory analysis. Their order reveals something useful: wearers first perceive the green note, and only then the leather, even though the base notes account for eight out of seventeen ingredients.

Performance and Portability

These values are based on votes from the Fragrantica community and not on laboratory measurements. They are based here on six voters, so they should be viewed as an initial indication of a trend. A moderate sillage when worn as an extract allows for a generous assessment: three sprays A little extra won't hurt—on the wrists, the base of the neck, and the collar of a coat. Leather, musk, and vetiver last much longer on a wool scarf than on the skin.

Bottle and Packaging Design

The bottle breaks with the brand's usual conventions: it is a transparent glass rectangle, tall and narrow, without facets or ornamentation, revealing the juice of a pale yellow-green. The object exudes simplicity, whereas Gulf perfumery typically emphasizes volume and gilding.

The whole effect comes from the’engraved label, in shades of sepia and gold: a view of a snow-covered mountain featuring a village below, rendered in the style of an old engraving or a travel poster. The SA monogram and the SWISS ARABIAN signature appear at the top, while the name “Echoes of ST. MORITZ” appears at the bottom of the label, followed by the words “EXTRAIT DE PARFUM.” The golden-orange cap, set on a chiseled collar, is the only splash of bright color.

The case goes far beyond the bottle. It is entirely covered with a blue-gray engraving on a white background which looks like an old illustration: snow-capped peaks in the background, a conifer forest on the mountainside, a village of chalets below, and a skier in the middle of a descent into the right-hand turn. The paper is embossed, which enhances the sketch-like effect.

In the center, a boxed text features gold lettering: the SA monogram, the “SWISS ARABIAN” signature in spaced-out uppercase letters, followed by “echoes of” in handwritten English script above “ST. MORITZ” in uppercase, and finally “EXTRAIT DE PARFUM.” The back features the barcode, the 36M symbol, the flammable pictogram, recycling instructions, and the “made in U.A.E.” label. It is one of the brand’s most elaborately designed cases, and it tells the story of the fragrance even before you open it.

Olfactory pyramid

Seventeen notes, divided into four top notes, five heart notes, and eight base notes. This inverted pyramid—which widens as it descends rather than narrowing—is the defining structural choice of the composition: it explains the slow evolution of the scent and the fact that the fragrance truly comes into its own in its second half.
