Reine de Saba
Beautiful, powerful and mysterious.
Reine de Saba is a Paris-based heritage-styled niche house founded in 2022 by Habib Al-Sowaidi, a Yemeni-born figure in artistic perfumery whose family grew jasmine and harvested myrrh and frankincense. The brand operates from a boutique at 24 rue Marbeuf, off the Champs-Élysées, and frames its identity around the Queen of Sheba — power, beauty, and a long Yemeni materials lineage that the founder is in a position to claim authentically. The twenty-one-fragrance launch catalog is composed by an unusually senior roster: Dominique Ropion, Sophie Labbé, Nathalie Lorson, Alberto Morillas. Production is in French niche-perfumery laboratories using LMR-grade extractions of the house's signature materials. It is closer in temperament to Amouage's first decade than to most 2020s niche launches — wearers who care about provenance of jasmine and frankincense will find the resources here unusually deep.
