01
A Personal Library
The library begins with fragrances Mohammed Alameeri has acquired, worn, and researched. It is not a list of every release, but a record that grows through experience.
Alameeri Fragrance Libraryمكتبة الأميري للعطورABOUT AFL
An independent reference,
built through experience.
Alameeri Fragrance Library is an independent UAE cultural project bringing together a personal collection, educational documentation, editorial stories, and evaluation grounded in wearing fragrance and understanding its context.
THE LIBRARY’S IDENTITY
Four shelves, one point of view
02
An Educational Reference
Ingredients, rituals, markets, and scent memory are placed in context, using reliable sources and distinguishing documented fact from narrative.
03
Independent Evaluation
Opinion follows wearing and observation. The source of a bottle or sample, and any relevant commercial relationship, is disclosed.
04
From the UAE Outward
The library begins with fragrance culture in the UAE and Arabian Peninsula, then follows the routes of scent into other places and traditions.
WORKING CHARTER
What do we commit to?
01
Accuracy
Names, dates, materials, and historical claims are checked and attributed to their sources.
02
Clarity
Educational material, personal impression, and commercial content are kept visibly distinct.
03
Independence
A gift, invitation, or commercial relationship does not purchase a favourable conclusion.
04
Respect
A review describes a particular experience and never turns differences in taste into judgement of others.
05
Correction
Published errors are reviewed and corrected clearly when better information becomes available.
06
Deliberate Growth
Records and stories are added when they are ready—not simply to fill the shelves.
FOUNDER & CURATOR
Mohammed Alameeri
A fragrance collector and independent reviewer documenting what he wears, what he learns, and the cultures that give scent its meaning. Working from the UAE, he reads fragrance as material, craft, memory, and a route between people and places.
