Omanluxury Khanjar EDP

Description

Omanluxury Khanjar EDP takes its name from the khānjar, the curved ceremonial dagger that symbolizes prestige and heritage across Oman and the Gulf. Conceived by Omanluxury co-founder Muatasim Al Hinai and composed by Symrise perfumer Philippe Paparella-Paris, it’s a bold, oud-forward amber woody built for skin heat to unlock.
