[Dubai, February 2014] The most creative and celebrated Kuwaiti perfumer, Suhad Al-Qenaei, also known as the 'Lady of Fragrance,' has launched her line of exotic perfumes in the UAE. Paris Gallery, the leading luxury retailer, will be the exclusive reseller of the brand that's making its international debut. For nearly two decades, Suhad Perfumes has served a group of high-profile clientele. The brand that has achieved renown in the Arabian Gulf region will now leverage on Paris Gallery's vast network of stores to reach out to the UAE audience.

Commenting on the launch, Suhad Al Qenaei, said, 'I am very pleased with what we have achieved so far since the founding of the company. Ever since I began creating my own perfumes, there was this strong desire to someday go global. This launch is the realization of that desire. Paris Gallery's reputation precedes itself, and it is a great privilege to be associated with them. Paris Gallery's strong retail presence will give us the reach that we have envisioned, and I am highly confident that Suhad Perfumes will exceed the expectations and win the hearts of UAE consumers.'

Suhad Perfumes, founded in Kuwait in 1998, received its membership to the UK Fragrance Foundation in 2006, becoming the first Middle Eastern perfumery to receive such an honour. The Kuwaiti perfumer gained her broad expertise and knowledge under the supervision of perfume expert John Bailey. She is praised for her exceptional perfume blends that combine eastern magic with western versatility using the finest natural essential oils with aromatic components such as the ones found in the US, Asia, Europe and the Arab world. She received her membership to the prestigious National Royal Flower Association in 2006; another Middle Eastern first.

Today, Suhad is not only the premier fragrance expert in Kuwait and the Gulf region but also a successful role model for all Arab women; a woman who has been able to translate her talent and love for fragrances into a thriving career. Her fame extends beyond the Gulf region. Two of her more famous perfumes are Zio and Royale C.
