Ibrahim Alqurashi Mini Diamond Collection

The IBRAQ Mini Diamond Collection is a six-piece discovery set from the Saudi house Ibrahim Al Qurashi, holding 10 ml of each fragrance in a flat presentation box. The brand describes it as six of its latest scents, and that wording is precise: these are the newest releases rather than the greatest hits.

Which points at the thing no listing mentions. The Diamond Collection runs to ten fragrances, so this box holds six of them. A separate ten-piece set exists, and the brand calls that one the complete collection.

Here is every fragrance in the IBRAQ Mini Diamond Collection, listed in the order worth trying them rather than the order they sit in the box.

Gray Pearl Diamond — Aquatic freshness and berries over jasmine and rose, closing on oud, incense and spices. The smoky one, and the most traditionally Gulf of the six.

Black Carbon Diamond — Saffron and bergamot into rose, apple and patchouli, over sandalwood, musk and frankincense. A rose-woody, drier than it sounds.

White Regent Diamond — Sandalwood, tea, fig and cardamom, then iris and vetiver, over vanilla, tonka and patchouli. The most unusual thing in the IBRAQ Mini Diamond Collection. Powdery and woody at once.

Purple Heart Diamond — Orange blossom, pear and vanilla into pink pepper, jasmine and almond, over cashmeran, cedarwood and patchouli. White floral with a marzipan edge.

Nude Coral Diamond — Bergamot, apple and saffron into orange blossom, coconut and guaiac wood, over vanilla, amber and cashmeran. The sweetest and creamiest here.

Emerald Soul Diamond — Bergamot, mandarin and white musk over fresh spices and lemon, closing on vanilla and amber. The simplest and the easiest to wear anywhere.
