The Story
Why it exists.
Conceived in 2024, No. 35 Remix was the house’s answer to the clash between a brisk Gulf sunrise and a Parisian atelier’s precision. The brief called for a scent that could capture the snap of mint-laden citrus that greets the desert dawn, then melt into the warm spice corridors of a traditional souk, before settling into the amber-rich calm of a French salon. The result is a unisex blend that mirrors the brand’s mission to bridge Middle Eastern heritage with French craftsmanship.

The Beginning
Conceived in 2024, No. 35 Remix was the house’s answer to the clash between a brisk Gulf sunrise and a Parisian atelier’s precision. The brief called for a scent that could capture the snap of mint-laden citrus that greets the desert dawn, then melt into the warm spice corridors of a traditional souk, before settling into the amber-rich calm of a French salon. The result is a unisex blend that mirrors the brand’s mission to bridge Middle Eastern heritage with French craftsmanship.
The trio of bergamot, mandarin and mint creates a bright, green opening that feels like a cool breeze over sand, while cardamom and nutmeg inject a subtle heat reminiscent of market stalls. Jasmine adds a fleeting floral whisper, and the base of amber, musk and tonka bean grounds the composition with a creamy, slightly sweet animalic trail that lingers long after the citrus fades.
The Evolution
The first fifteen minutes are dominated by a crisp, almost icy burst of mint that instantly clears the senses, backed by the sparkling citrus of bergamot and mandarin. As the top fades, the heart emerges: cardamom’s peppery warmth intertwines with jasmine’s soft bloom, while nutmeg adds a dry, woody nuance that deepens the spice. By the half‑hour mark the composition settles into its base; amber spreads a golden veil, musk introduces a subtle animalic depth, and tonka bean rounds everything with a sweet, vanilla‑like creaminess. The dry‑down lingers for four to six hours, leaving a warm, slightly powdery trail that feels like a soft cashmere scarf on cool evening air.
Cultural Impact
Since its 2024 debut, No. 35 Remix has sparked conversation among fragrance enthusiasts for its daring juxtaposition of mint-driven citrus and a warm amber-tonka finish. Wearers often note its ability to transition from a fresh daytime vibe to an intimate evening aura, making it a versatile choice for both casual outings and sophisticated gatherings. Its dual-world DNA reflects the growing appetite for scents that bridge Eastern spice intensity with Western elegance.
