Working a parallel theme utilizing ingredients from the ascent trail of Himalayan mountains such as musk, Bhutan Oudh, Cedar, flowers and herbs. More than 25 rare ingredients have been employed in this composition to bring forth an exhilarating fragrant experience that takes you on a fragrant journey to the top, to The Summit.
Bold, beautiful, breath taking, towering, make a statement.
Top Notes
The opening is luminous and bracing, a delicate interplay of peppermint and camphor that imparts a cool, invigorating lift. Subtle touches of rosemary and lavender add an herbal green brightness, while the fleeting whisper of blue lotus contributes an ethereal aquatic floral nuance. Together, these create a refreshing, almost meditative entrance that awakens the senses.
Middle Notes
As the freshness softens, the fragrance blooms into a resinous, floral-spiced heart. Rose lends its timeless, velvety elegance, while the mystical presence of lubān (frankincense) rises in translucent waves of smoke and devotion. Shamama attar enriches the core with its complex tapestry of spice, leather, and ambered facets, weaving seamlessly with the labdanum and the sensual warmth of katsuri musk. At this stage, the fragrance is opulent, devotional, and deeply resonant an incense-laden floral heart with sacred depth.
Base Notes
The foundation is a grand, enduring symphony of woods, resins, and musks. The creamy richness of sandalwood (the dominant material) forms the backbone, softened yet elevated by the deep, animalic smokiness of Bhutanese oudh. Anchoring the composition, oakmoss provides a shadowed, mossy-earth dimension, while amber and labdanum fuse into a balsamic glow, balancing warmth with depth. As hours pass, the base radiates an aura of quiet majesty smooth, woody, musky, and endlessly refined
The Summit is not a fragrance to be worn, it is a fragrance to be inhabited. A scent of majesty and serenity, where the cool clarity of the opening, the sacred heart of resins and florals, and the deep sanctity of wood and musk meet in harmony. It is at once luxurious, meditative, and eternal. A fragrance for those who seek beauty not as adornment, but as presence.
The Summit is a state of being. It is the height where devotion, luxury, and timeless majesty converge. Created by Al Shareef, it embodies the journey upward: from clarity, to mystery, to transcendence.
For those who wear it, The Summit is not an adornment.
It is an ascent.

The Summit begins with a cool camphorous breeze that instantly brings to mind the feeling of setting out on a mountain trail at dawn, when the air is pure and every breath feels alive. As the path unfolds, the fragrance softens into gentle rose and incense, like the sun slowly breaking through the trees and wrapping the morning in warmth. In the end, it rests in the richness of sandalwood, oudh, and amber, the way reaching the peak fills you with stillness, strength, and quiet majesty. Wearing it feels like carrying the memory of those mountain mornings with you, wherever you go.

It opens with a blast of blue lotus, which quickly gives way to the lavender as it rises to the surface. The lavender isn’t overpowering; instead, it melds seamlessly with the earthy, musky, and woody oudh elements. The camphor gives it a medicinal quality. Theres that familiar alshareef signature throughout that smells like something from the olden times.
The frankincense is present, though without the usual brightness one might expect from it, lending a more grounded character. The Taifi rose is beautifully blended, adding depth without stealing the spotlight. The balance is impeccable—nothing feels out of proportion. Will need more time to decipher this. All in all a very unique blend that’s grounding for me .

After giving this a thorough wearing over the past 10 days, I felt the need to leave a very well deserved review. This perfume truly is exceptional. I own three perfumes from Al Shareef now and all 3 are so different to each other, and all 3 are so worth it.
The summit for me opens with a blast of that camphor and mint which really gives that feeling of a crisp blue sky in the mountains (being so close to and visiting the Rocky Mountains often, it fits the description so accurately). In addition to this, I get the blue lotus and some lavender which adds this beautiful slightly spiced, aromatic floral element. The ambergris for me is perceivable throughout the entirety of the wearing; opening with that aquatic vibe, and as it dries down it add this fantastic sweet and slightly salty nuance.
The scent continues to develop with the frankincense coming in and providing this amazing incense floral combination in the heart.
As it transitions into the dry down, the scent becomes this extremely calming and pleasing mix of soft, sweet deer musk, buttery smooth sandalwood with oudh adding a nice woody and very slightly smoky nuance. This is my favourite part of the wearing experience but I truly love this scent from start to finish.
For me it checks all of the boxes when looking to add something new to my small collection. It\’s unique, superb quality, complex, performs very well (great longevity and very nice sillage without being overpowering), and smells incredible. I think this one is worth every penny and I couldn’t be happier with it

One of the most complex sprays I’ve encountered. Opens with a cool incense note that is addictive, embedded in rose. This spray is mysterious and uplifting. Dry down has musk ambergris incense and slightly woody notes. It has taken me over a week to understand this spray.
Perfumers claim to be artisans, this is an example of true art

I’m pretty new to the world of fragrance, but The Summit completely blew me away. What I love is how it manages to feel both ancient and modern at the same time. The opening is bright and fresh, then almost instantly it turns mysterious and deep, like it’s shifting gears right in front of you. As it settles, it becomes this smooth, vanilla-tinged sandalwood that feels absolutely heavenly.
I honestly wasn’t expecting to connect with a scent like this, but it feels special, almost like it tells a story every time I wear it. It has become my signature fragrance I loved it so much that I went back and purchased two more bottles just to keep safely in my archives for the future. For me, that says everything…. I want this one with me for the long haul.

كعادة الشريف يفاجئنا بحرفيته ومهاراته العطرية الفذة.
هذا العطر لا شبيه له سواء في عطور الشريف نفسها أو في دور عطور أخرى. فهو مميز وغريب وجميل. وتلقيت عدة تساؤولات من أفراد عائلتي عن هذا العطر. لأنه ببساطة يفرض نفسه بحضوره. إصداره وتزامنه مع اعتدال الجو خاصة في منطقة الخليج وقدوم الشتاء يجعله خياراً ممتازاً للتفرد بعطر لن يصدر مرة أخرى نظرا لندرة مكوناته. اسمه القمة وهو بالفعل قمة. باختصار عطر يستحق اقتناءه وارتداءه.
شكرا الشريف لإنتاج مثل هذه العطور المميزة والنادرة التي تجعلنا نسافر لأزمنة لم نعشها.
As always, Alshareef surprises us with his artistry and exceptional perfumery skills.
This fragrance has no equal, whether within Alshareef’s own creations or in other perfume houses. It is unique, intriguing, and beautiful. I received several questions from my family members about this scent, simply because it imposes its presence effortlessly. Its release, coinciding with the mild weather in the Gulf and the arrival of winter, makes it an excellent choice for those seeking distinction in a fragrance that will never be produced again due to the rarity of its ingredients. Its name is Al Qimmah—“The Summit”—and indeed it is the summit. In short, a fragrance truly worth owning and wearing.
Thank you, Alshareef, for crafting such rare and remarkable perfumes that allow us to travel to times we have never lived.
