Glitch
Floral-fruity eau de parfum for men and women · raspberry, grapefruit, vetiver, orange blossom, ambroxan, and vanilla
The deliberate "bug" from the Saudi house Assaf: just six notes, crafted by two world-renowned composers, resulting in a fruity, mineral scent with an electric character. Precision masquerading as chaos.
Assaf's Glitch: Everything You Need to Know About the Fruity Fragrance by Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner
Launched in 2026 as part of the Arrogate Collection by Assaf, a Saudi niche fragrance house ranked first in its country and second in the Middle East according to Beautyworld rankings, Glitch is a 150-ml unisex floral-fruity eau de parfum, listed under barcode 6287042405213. Its composition is the work of the duo Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner, two leading figures in the global perfumery industry: raspberry and grapefruit on top, vetiver and orange blossom at the heart, and ambroxan and vanilla on the base. The Fragrantica community rates it 4.0 out of 5, with a longevity of about 7 hours and a strong sillage. Available as an authentic product at Parfumerie de Dubai.
The Perfectly Calculated Mistake
A glitch is a bug that flashes across the screen—in short, a hiccup in a stable system. Assaf has turned it into a manifesto: his official description touts a fragrance designed to break with convention, a controlled chaos where precision meets rebellion. The opening sets the tone: a raspberry tangy, almost electric, against a grapefruit Bitter and sharp. Two notes—not one more—and an immediate tension between sweetness and bitterness.
The heart cultivates the same art of contrast: the orange blossom, clean and bright, comes up against a vetiver earthy and green—which, in theory, has no place here—and that’s exactly why it’s there. This tension between flower and root is the true anomaly of this wine: it gives the fruitiness a backbone that the genre doesn’t often have.
The app solves the equation in two variables: the’ambroxan, a mineral-based, diffusing formula, propels the product a short distance, while the vanilla rounds out the structure with a creamy smoothness. Six notes in all: a deliberate minimalism, with a fruity-mineral character, where each element is clearly discernible. When you know who created it, this simplicity is anything but effortless: it’s the work of virtuosos who have nothing left to prove.
Because here's the real news: Glitch is composed by Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner, a duo from the Givaudan fragrance house, known for its many global bestsellers. Assaf, who has been building his portfolio since 2022 through collaborations with the world’s leading perfumers, has brought on board two of the most sought-after names in luxury perfumery: discover their other creations on our dedicated pages.

Bottle design
A cylinder deep burgundy, almost garnet-colored, topped with a wide hood of’brushed aluminum : The silhouette resembles that of a precision industrial object more than a traditional bottle, and the official description explicitly references its architectural design.
The logo does the rest: “GLITCH” appears in silver capital letters that seem slightly misaligned, as if captured in the middle of a display glitch, above the words “ARROGATE COLLECTION” and “ASSAF.” The name, the visual, and the fragrance all tell exactly the same story: the anomaly under control.

Performance & sensations
The Fragrantica community gives it 4.0 out of 5 on his first votes, with lasts about 7 hours and a strong wake. The composition is signature: ambroxan, used as a base note, projects the raspberry-grapefruit duo well beyond arm’s length during the first few hours, before giving way to a more intimate vanilla finish. Retailers readily classify it as a powerful fruity fragrance, and the large 150-ml bottle reflects this generosity.
It's a scent of’complete schedule : Day or night, all four seasons—though it’s best enjoyed on sunny days when the citrus notes really come alive. Two sprays are enough for the office, as its scent lingers widely; save the third for evenings. And the 150-ml bottle allows for what the 50-ml bottles don’t: making it your everyday fragrance without having to count the sprays.
Assaf's Glitch FAQ
Who are Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner, the perfumers at Glitch?
Two of the most sought-after names in contemporary perfumery, both perfumers at the leading fragrance house Givaudan. Their creations—whether crafted individually or as a duo—rank among the biggest global successes of the past decade, ranging from niche fragrances to department store bestsellers. The fact that a Saudi brand has secured this duo speaks volumes about its ambitions: Glitch is not an “inspired” fragrance—it is a first-rate original creation.
What does the name "Glitch" mean?
A glitch is a brief bug—the image that flickers on the screen, a fleeting anomaly in a stable system. Assaf embraces this metaphor even in his official communications: a fragrance designed to break established patterns, chaos under control. The pyramid translates this idea into fragrance notes: combinations that shouldn’t work—raspberry versus grapefruit, orange blossom versus vetiver—yet work precisely because they are calculated down to the milligram.
What sets Assaf apart?
Its approach: Since 2022, this niche Saudi brand has been building its collection by inviting leading names in global fragrance creation—both established master perfumers and emerging talents—rather than copying others’ successes. The strategy has paid off: the Beautyworld Middle East rankings have named it the top Saudi brand and the second-ranked brand in the entire region. The Arrogate Collection, to which Glitch is the latest addition, is its most iconic line.
Why does "Glitch" only have six notes?
Because minimalism is a luxury that leaves no room for error. A pyramid of fifteen notes can mask mediocre ingredients within the blend; a pyramid of six puts every ingredient in the spotlight. It’s the signature style of perfumers at the pinnacle of their craft: few elements, sharp contrasts, and a razor-sharp balance. The result reads like a clear musical score: you’ll recognize every note as you wear it, from the first spark of raspberry to the last hint of vanilla.
Is the 150 ml size a good choice?
That’s actually one of the bottle’s strongest selling points. With three times the volume of a standard 50-ml bottle, the price per milliliter drops dramatically, and the fragrance’s profile lends itself perfectly to this: a fruity, mineral scent that’s wearable day and night, year-round, and gets used up much faster than a formal oriental reserved for special occasions. Assaf, in fact, offers the entire Arrogate Collection in these generous large sizes—a Gulf tradition that European enthusiasts are delighted to discover.
