Good Taste Never Tries Too Hard.
Daar of Vanilla (DOV) “daar/دار means -House- in Arabic” is an independent perfumery house where the perfumer, creative process, and production are all based in Egypt, following international standards.
even the most familiar note “vanilla” can be presented in new ways.
Our work is about building authentic fragrance concepts. Instead of adapting an existing perfume and twisting it, as is common in the industry, each creation starts from its own skeleton. The house treats this as craftsmanship and aims for true artistic perfumery.
The Perfumer
Zeyad Desouky is an independent perfumer and olfactory artist, born and raised in Giza, Egypt, the land of the ancient Egyptians, who were among the earliest civilizations to develop and use perfumery. As an inheritor of that legacy, the young perfumer, formerly a veterinary doctor, has dedicated a major part of his life to crafting authentic fragrances that capture moments and tell stories. Self-taught in his craft, he sees art as a way to stay grounded in a fast-moving world.
