Where Rarity Finds Its Market
Our stock is relationships — the families in Grasse who grow jasmine for the great perfume houses, the beekeepers of Shabwa who tend three hundred hives at dawn, the women of Essaouira who crack argan by hand, as their grandmothers did.
What they make, we bring to the Gulf: a considered selection, changed as we travel, honest about where everything comes from and why it matters.
◆ Fine Food & Rare Ingredients
The Rarest Ingredients. Named. Sourced. Direct.
Mongra-grade saffron from Raqib Mushtaq's 3.75-acre farm in Pampore, worked by his family since the twelfth century. Sidr honey from Said al-Aulaqi in Shabwa, who rebuilt his three hundred hives in 2017. Grade A Bourbon vanilla from sisters Naomy and Rosemine in Madagascar, cured as their family has done since 1978.
Every item carries a name, a place, a person.

Four centuries of distillation.
Boswellia sacra frankincense from the Dhofar mountains, under Omani export control. Rosa Damascena rose oil from Isparta, distilled at dawn for three weeks each May. Attars from the family ateliers of Kannauj, drawn from copper deg-bhapka stills unchanged in four hundred years.
Each arrives in the Gulf for the first time.
◆ Artisan & Cooperative
Made by hand. For a millennium.
Eighty women in Essaouira, most over sixty, cracking argan shells by hand — a UNESCO-recognised craft, a Fair Trade cooperative, the world's first.
Himalayan pink salt, hand-mined from the Khewra Range by a third generation of PSPC, since 1962.
