01 / The house
Aquad'or began in Cyprus, with a short list of fragrances we actually wanted to wear. The list is longer now, but the principle has not moved. We curate. We do not stock the catalogue of a distributor, then write copy around it. Each bottle on the site is a bottle one of us would buy at full price.
The shop runs from a small office in Nicosia. Orders pack the same morning they come in, six days a week. The letter that ships with a first order is written by one of us, not generated.
02 / The shelf
The core of the shelf is Levantine. Lattafa originals for the ambers, the gourmands, the spice. Al-Haramain originals for the oud and the rosewater accords. These are not designer dupes. They are the houses themselves, imported direct, in the bottles they bottle.
Around that core sits a small selection: women, men, niche, Victoria's Secret originals, body lotions and essence oils from the same houses. The catalogue grows when a perfume earns the place. Nothing is on the site to fill a category.
Sourced direct
Original houses, not anonymous stock.
Bench tested
Every addition earns its place.
Packed by hand
A note leaves with first orders.
03 / Custom
The custom builder is the other half of what we do. Choose top notes, heart notes, base notes. Pick fifty or one hundred millilitres. The blend is mixed in the office and shipped inside the week. It is the same composition logic a perfumer uses, in a form a buyer can hold.
People come to the builder for a wedding, an anniversary, a private signature. The bottle is unlabelled by default. Some ask for a name on the side; we engrave when we can.
04 / Practical
Orders pack the morning they come in. Cyprus delivery arrives in two to three working days, EU delivery in five to seven. Shipping is free on orders over thirty five euros. Returns are accepted within fourteen days for unopened bottles.
