Niche luxury fragrance brand Kanaan Perfume House launches officially in the UAE, introducing a refined interpretation of oriental perfumery rooted in heritage, identity, and craftsmanship.
Founded by UAE-born entrepreneur Ola (Lola) Kanaan, the brand is a tribute to her family name and the legacy it carries, inspired by the ancient land of the Canaanites. More than a perfume label, Kanaan is a personal expression of culture, memory, and pride.
Underscoring on the launch announcement, Ola Kanaan, Founder of Kanaan Perfume House comments: “Kanaan is more than just a brand name. It carries history, culture, and stories that have lived for thousands of years. Through scent, I wanted to translate that legacy into something tangible and timeless.”
Marking the brand’s debut is Ashera, a deeply evocative blend inspired by Ola’s father. Built around the richness of oud and the warmth of tobacco, the fragrance captures the memory of cigar smoke intertwined with traditional Arabian scent rituals.
Warm, refined, and nostalgic, Ashera sets the tone for the house, with sophisticated oriental compositions designed for both men and women who value depth and storytelling in fragrance.
All raw materials and oud oils are developed locally, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to local craftsmanship and regional excellence. Born and raised in the UAE, Ola Kanaan envisioned the house as both a tribute to her heritage and a contribution to the country’s growing luxury fragrance industry.
“I’m incredibly excited for people to experience the brand and connect with these scents in their own way. This region understands the power of fragrance, and I’m proud to launch Kanaan in the UAE,” she added.
Positioned as a niche luxury perfume house, Kanaan blends authentic oud with contemporary refinement, offering the market a unique scent experience that is both culturally rooted and globally resonant.
