Eid Al Adha brings with it the rare pleasure of a long pause. Whether you are looking for a fragrance that feels personal, a table to book with family, or a resort stay that turns the break into a full getaway, here is Zenith’s guide to Eid gifting, dining and escapes.
Eid Gifting
Pick a Homegrown Fragrance from Emma Hamsa
Homegrown, female-founded fragrance house Emma Hamsa brings a personal approach to Eid gifting with its First Light collection. The collection features three extrait de parfum compositions, each inspired by a different presence in the founder’s life.
Milk of Light is creamy, powdery and soft, with almond milk and gentle warmth.
Desire Skin is deeper, with amber, woods and spice for a more evening scent.
Eternal Horizon is fresh and composed, with citrus, ginger and mineral musk.
This collection is available at emmahamsa.com
Gift Elevated Homewear from Suwen
Turkish innerwear and homewear brand Suwen has opened its second UAE store at BurJuman, bringing its full range of innerwear, sleepwear and loungewear to Dubai. The brand is known for combining comfort-led fabrics with a refined, fashion-forward approach to everyday essentials, offering over 1,500 styles across innerwear, homewear and sleepwear. The collections focus on soft cottons, breathable modal blends, delicate lace details and relaxed silhouettes.
For the Eid break, the brand’s sleepwear and loungewear selection stands out as a thoughtful option for those looking to gift something wearable, comfortable and practical. Think coordinated lounge sets, lightweight pyjamas and soft homewear pieces that suit slower mornings, family gatherings and long weekend stays.
Available in-store at BurJuman and Dalma Mall, Abu Dhabi.
Gift a Parisian Amber Scent from Maison Origine Paris
For fragrance lovers, Maison Origine Paris introduces Amber Me Paris, an extrait de parfum built around amber, oud and leather. Crafted as a tribute to Paris at its most evocative, Amber Me Paris reflects a city shaped by soft light and sophistication. The fragrance opens with a luminous blend of grapefruit
and lavender, offering a fresh, polished introduction that mirrors the clarity of early Parisian mornings. At its heart, the composition develops into a textured blend of amber, tobacco, leather, and spice, structured and expressive, echoing the depth and allure of the city after dusk. It settles into a soft, enveloping base of oud and sweet amber, leaving a distinctive trail.
Built around the idea of “love, distilled into scent, Amber Me Paris is warm, polished and long-lasting, it makes for an extremely thoughtful Eid gift for someone who prefers fragrance with depth and character.
Bring Something Meaningful to the Table with Cypher
For food lovers in your life, Cypher Urban Roastery’s The Gift of Harmony offers a thoughtful alternative to the usual boxes of sweets. Centred around Palestinian pantry staples including olive oil, sumac and za’atar, it feels especially suited to hosts, family gatherings and anyone who appreciates gifts tied to the table.
Available at bycypher.com
Choose a Body Ritual from Santa Maria Novella
The heritage house marks the flowering season of the rose with a range spanning fragrance, skincare and home scenting, making it ideal for elegant Eid gifting.
The collection draws on two distinct roses. Rosa centifolia, the May rose, forms the base of fragrances including Rosa Gardenia, Rosa Novella and Rosa, while Rosa damascena is used throughout the Acqua di Rose skincare line. Rosa Gardenia is soft, floral and musky with notes of bergamot, almond blossom, orange blossom, centifolia rose and vanilla. Rosa Novella offers a slightly deeper floral-spicy profile with lemon, petitgrain, rose and patchouli, while Rosa feels more classic and delicate with rose petals, neroli, violet and musk.
Beyond Eau de Cologne, the collection also includes bath gels, fluid creams, hand soaps, candles, wax tablets and home diffusers, making it easy to build a more thoughtful Eid gift beyond fragrance alone.
The Magnolia and L’Iris body care products are available online at smnovella.com and at select Santa Maria Novella retailers across the UAE: Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdales and Ounass.
