Officially appointed bySYMRISEFine Fragrance, for the region

Where global fragrance expertise meets the region.

Symrise creativity and science, brought to the region's manufacturers and brand owners through a trusted platform in Dubai.

Beyond distribution

We do not exist to distribute fragrance. We exist to build what fragrance makes possible: trust, brands, and long-term value.

The bridge

A bridge belongs fully to neither side, and fully serves both.

The Andarz bridge: from France to Dubai. The Eiffel Tower, the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab joined by one marble bridge

Who we are

More than a distributor.

Andarz began as an ambition: to connect entrepreneurs with international expertise they could not otherwise access. Today it is the officially appointed agent and distributor of Symrise Fine Fragrance for the region, working from Dubai as a representative and advisor, never simply a distributor.

The journey

From the fields of Grasse to your brand.

The route behind the Symrise fine fragrance we carry: the naturals of Grasse, the perfumers of Paris, our platform in Dubai, and your brand.

  1. 01 Origin

    Grasse

    Where it begins: roses, jasmine and rare naturals, sourced through long-term partnerships in the hills of the world's perfume capital.

    Paris

    Symrise perfumers compose from a palette of naturals and captive molecules, much of it born in France, the home of fine perfumery.

The anatomy of a fine fragrance

Composed in three movements, revealed over hours.

IThe top · First fifteen minutes

The first impression.

Bright, volatile and fleeting: the notes that greet you, then lift away.

BergamotNeroliPink pepperMandarin

IIThe heart · Fifteen minutes to three hours

The character.

The soul of the composition, emerging as the top notes fade.

The memory.

Warm, deep and lasting: what stays on the skin long after the rest has gone.
