Now, to celebrate the anniversary of the business, she decided to create her own perfumes with scents from the Middle East, which are produced in Dubai and are already on sale here.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I developed these fragrances in October 2015. I took an internship in the Al Harama company, in Ajman, United Arab Emirates. This company is one of the large producers of oud in the Middle East&rdquo;, says Biase. Oud is an essence taken from wood and it&rsquo;s one of the ingredients of the most expensive perfumes in the world. This ingredient is widely used in the perfume industries of Arab countries.<\/p>\n<p>Biase says that she took two courses to become a perfumer, one in France and another in Marrakesh, Morocco, which focused in Eastern perfumery. According to her, she was assisted by Indian perfumers in developing her own perfumes. <\/p>\n<p>The perfumes were produced by a Dubai-based company, which Biase wouldn&rsquo;t name. There are two perfumes for women, <em>Musk Passione<\/em> and <em>Lady Oud<\/em>, and two scents for men, <em>Incense Oud<\/em> and <em>Safari Oud<\/em>. According to her, the perfumes are Eastern fragrances based on oud, amber and patchouli, but also bring other elements that are uncommon in Arab perfumery. &ldquo;The Musk Passion has notes of green apple, which makes it fresher, and the Safari Oud has nutmeg, orange and raspberry, which makes it more citric&rdquo;, she explains. <\/p>\n<p>The business owner says that she initially produced&nbsp;2,000 units divided into the four fragrances. &ldquo;They are very exclusive, well-crafted perfumes&nbsp;and I&rsquo;m being careful in testing the Brazilian market&#8217;s acceptance&rdquo;, she says. &ldquo;The plan for next year is to add to the line. I already have four or five essences that I&rsquo;m developing and I want to also develop oils&rdquo;, she adds.<\/p>\n<p>The perfumes created by Biase went on sale this month in the two Al Zahra stores. The price for a 100 ml bottle is BRL 800 (USD 248.37). <\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Al Zahra<br \/>Jardins store:<br \/>Rua Melo Alves, 490<br \/>Holiday Inn Parque Anhembi store:<br \/>Rua Professor Milton Rodrigues, 100<br \/>Phone: 55 11 3857-7523<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by S&eacute;rgio Kakitani<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-190885\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business owner and now perfumer Julia de Biase created four perfumes with scents typical of the Arab world to sell in her stores in the city of S\u00e3o Paulo.
