Arabesque

Arabesque is a West German fragrance house that built its identity around an intercultural creative proposition: European technical perfumery applied to Middle Eastern and North African olfactory traditions. The name references the ornate geometric pattern common in Islamic art—an apt metaphor for a house that attempts to interweave Western and Eastern aesthetic systems. Compositions attributed to the house, with perfumers Mustafa Firoz and Esmail Firoz noted in records, reflect an orientation toward oud, spice, incense, and rose constructions delivered through European structural techniques. The website domain (arabesque-music.com) suggests an unusual overlap between the fragrance house and a music-related entity, or alternatively a domain name registered separately from the fragrance operation. Documentation remains limited, consistent with a small historical house whose activity may have predated widespread online presence. Arabesque occupies the niche tier by nature of its construction and cultural positioning, though precise details of its founding date and corporate history are not verifiable from available sources.
