About Us
About Al Ambra Perfumes
The Soul of Modern Luxury. The Art of Middle Eastern Perfumery.
Al Ambra is not just a perfume; it is an experience.
We were born from a deep reverence for the rich, complex tapestry of Middle Eastern fragrance artistry—a heritage steeped in luxury, ritual, and a profound connection to the earth's most precious ingredients.
But we are not a relic of the past. We are the future of luxury.
Al Ambra was founded on the belief that this authentic soul could be reinterpreted for a discerning, modern, and global clientele. We bridge the gap between timeless tradition and contemporary elegance, creating scents that are both mysteriously familiar and breathtakingly new.
The Story Behind The Name
Every icon has a story. Our name, Al Ambra, is born from a journey across two worlds, capturing the very soul of our brand.
It begins with a single word: Ambra.
In Italian, Ambra means Amber. This name evokes two of perfumery's most treasured and luxurious essences. It recalls the warm, golden resin of fossilized amber, but also the legendary Ambergris (Ambra Grigia)—the rare, oceanic treasure prized for centuries as the ultimate fixative. Both are renowned for their depth, sensuality, and the power to make a fragrance linger.
And then comes the word: Al.
In Arabic, Al means "The." But symbolically, it is the emblem of our heritage—the mystery of oud, the richness of spices, and the cultural mastery of Middle Eastern perfumery.
“Al” from the East.
“Ambra” from the West.
Al Ambra is a union of two perfume worlds. It is a name that honors the ancient trade routes where these two worlds exchanged art, scent, and culture. It represents the purity of ingredients, the heritage of craftsmanship, and the golden warmth that ties both worlds together.
Two Visionaries. One Destiny.
Al Ambra is the shared destiny of two leaders who saw the same future and decided to create it together.
The Soul & The Dreamer
Abdul Rahiman Mukarithottam | Founder
Every great perfume house begins with a dreamer. For Abdul Rahiman, that dream began in the quiet nature of Mukarithottam, Kerala, where a childhood fascination with scents grew into a lifelong obsession. Arriving in Dubai with nothing but ambition, he worked his way up from a salesman to a connoisseur, studying the pulse of the industry. He is the spark behind Al Ambra—driven by the desire to bridge the gap between ancient tradition and modern luxury.
The Strength & The Strategist
Ghanim Yaqoob Jumma Khurram | Co-Founder
Every great dream needs a structure. Ghanim Yaqoob is the visionary who recognized the potential of that spark. When he met Abdul Rahiman, he saw more than a shop; he saw a future empire. Joining as a strategic force, Ghanim brought structure, clarity, and global ambition to the brand. He is the architect of Al Ambra’s expansion, dedicated to establishing the brand as a global icon.
"When two visions aligned, Al Ambra began its rise."
