$1.10The Story
A fragrance that reads like Tuscan Leather ran into a bowl of fruit on its way out of the tannery. Gissah launched Akoya in 2024 as part of its Signature Collection, and the Eau de Parfum is built around a juicy raspberry-and-orange opening, a caramel-jasmine heart, and a dry leather-sandalwood base that gives the whole thing its real spine. Aromatica carries the Akoya decant in Bangladesh in 3ml, 5ml, 9ml, and 15ml sizes so you can sample one of Kuwait's most hyped sweet-leather releases without committing to the 200ml Gissah bottle.
Fragrance Notes
Top: Bergamot, Orange Oil, Raspberry
Heart: Caramel, Lavender, Jasmine
Base: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Leatherwood
The Scent
The opening is a juicy raspberry lit up by orange and bergamot, which explains why so many wearers reach for Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja as the natural comparison. Unlike Oud Maracuja, Akoya drops the passionfruit-oud tropical angle and heads somewhere warmer and more polished. The caramel in the heart is what you notice first as the top settles, adding a butter-brown-sugar warmth that ties the fruit to the base. Lavender sits in the middle as a quiet herbal counterbalance, and jasmine gives the composition a soft floral stage before the woods take over. The leatherwood drydown is the part that separates Akoya from the rest of the fruity-sweet Arabian shelf, giving it a dry, slightly suede-like finish that sits closer to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather in structure than to the typical Middle Eastern oud. The base is a dense, resinous leather and woody-earth territory that carries the scent through the full wear cycle. Wearers who have tried Tuscan Leather and Oud Maracuja both usually end up placing Akoya somewhere between the two in character. Early reviews are divided on performance, with some calling it a beast-mode projector and others getting modest skin-scent behavior, a reminder that batch variance and skin chemistry matter here. The community mostly settles on one thing: the fruity-leather pivot is what makes Akoya feel new rather than another Arabian release chasing an existing DNA. It is not a blind buy if you dislike leather, but if the drydown works with your skin it tends to become a weekly rotation pick pretty fast.
When to Wear
Best for fall and winter evenings, date nights, and dressed-up occasions where a polished fruity-leather profile lands better than a straight aquatic or fresh-citrus. For other warm, dressed-up options, browse the Arabians collection at Aromatica.
Who Is It For
Someone who owns Tom Ford Tuscan Leather and wants a sweeter, more accessible take on the leather-and-fruit direction. Someone who was looking at Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja but wanted something less expensive with more body underneath the fruit and a longer-wearing drydown.
If you enjoy this combination, Imperial Valley from the same house goes in a more oud-and-rosemary direction and shares the Gissah performance profile, and the newer Hawas Lava Gold sits in adjacent fruity-leather-saffron territory at a more accessible price point. Browse the full Gissah collection at Aromatica for Mavro, Capri, and the rest of the Signature line.
Available as an authentic decant in Bangladesh at Aromatica in 3ml, 5ml, 9ml, and 15ml.
