A name written in the stars and rooted in the soil.
Al-Shamareekh is the Arabic name for the twin constellations Lupus and Centaurus when spoken of together. It also translates to “the dense branches of the date palm's fruit”, a phrase as rich and layered as the fragrance itself.
Between stars and soil, Al-Shamareekh honors the golden age of Arabic astronomy, when the night sky became a canvas of curiosity. From the 8th to the 15th century, Arab scholars refined the wisdom of Greek, Persian, and Indian thinkers, charting constellations with ink and intellect. Centuries later, under Ottoman rule, the current of culture reversed when Arabian spices and sweets began to steep into Greek kitchens and cups.
Al-Shamareekh captures this convergence of time and taste. It opens with the aged allure of nabidh, a spiced date wine once savored by poets, alongside the honeyed crunch of baklava and the warm, almond-cherry spice of mahlepi. At its heart, our house-made Medjool date concentré glows with syruped warmth, wrapped in tobacco absolute, ancient resins, and sweetened spice. A bold pour of Turkish coffee follows—dark, aromatic, and dusted with cardamom—inviting depth and density to the blend. Roasted tonka bean absolute, smoked caramel, and the slow smolder of embered wood draw the fragrance into the final, flickering hours of night.
Al-Shamareekh is a memory steeped in scent, a moonlit majlis where hookah smoke suspended in the air is the catalyst for sharing sweets, stories, and the inescapable human urge to stargaze.
