Notes as Maison Asrar lists them on its website, read on 24 October 2026.
Raspberry is the fruit here, tart and slightly jammy, cut with nutmeg's warm, sweetly spicy note and saffron's golden, faintly bitter edge. The heart is the unusual part. Rose and oud are a classic Oriental pairing of petals and dark resinous wood, and the odd collective term Sugary has been added to them. Sugary usually points at a candied, sugar-spun sweetness rather than a specific ingredient, so the rose and oud centre is probably softened and sweetened.
Musk, patchouli and vanilla form the base: soft and clean from the musk, earthy from the patchouli, creamy from the vanilla. With the fruit and the Sugary note working together, the list suggests a sweet, dark-berry perfume with a woody back, tart at first and then rounded and dessert-like, while the oud and patchouli stop it tipping into pure confection and keep some darkness in the picture.
Maison Asrar's product page for Basma gives its family as woody, oriental and fruity.
It also puts words of its own on three of the notes: vanilla (sweet, warm, soft), rose (floral, elegant, romantic) and saffron (spicy, warm, opulent).
Berry sweetness grounded by rose, oud and patchouli, instead of served plain, is the appeal here, and the rose gives it some softness. Readers who enjoy a sweet-and-dark balance may compare it with other Maison Asrar entries that mix fruit with oud or patchouli, paying attention to how much sugar each one adds around the wood.
What Basma has in common with Maison Asrar Ameer: saffron, rose, musk, patchouli and vanilla. What it keeps to itself: raspberry, nutmeg, oud and sugary. On the other side stand cardamom, pink pepper, Italian bergamot and pink grapefruit.
