Muttrah Souq
Rich, mysterious and layered. Rose, geranium and oudh over powdery musk. The scent of an ancient market at golden hour.
The Fragrance
Discover Muttrah Souq
What does Muttrah Souq smell like?
The Muttrah Souq in Muscat, Oman is one of the oldest marketplaces in the Arab world. Narrow alleyways lined with frankincense, spice and hand-woven textiles. Our Muttrah Souq candle captures that atmosphere. Rose and geranium open the fragrance with a soft, floral warmth. The heart deepens into oudh, patchouli and guaiacwood, rich and resinous, like stepping deeper into the souq. Powdery musk at the base ties everything together with a smooth, lingering finish.
A fragrance that tells a story
This is not a candle you light in the background. Muttrah Souq is an experience. The kind of scent that fills a room with warmth and makes people lean in and ask what it is. It draws from centuries of Middle Eastern fragrance tradition, with oud and rose at the centre, two of the most prized ingredients in perfumery. We have taken those notes and handcrafted them into a clean-burning soy candle right here in South Africa.
Hand-poured in Bloemfontein
Every Brink of Touch candle is handcrafted using 100% natural soy wax and premium fragrance oils. No paraffin, no mass production. Over 50 hours of fragrance in our signature frosted glass vessel.

Sharon Phillips-DaviesAugust 2025Based in the UK, I came across their Fynbos diffuser on holiday in Kalk Bay and fell in love with the smell. It lasted so long and is so authentic. I received so many compliments on my return home that I had to place another order.
Mariane LihoreauJanuary 2025An incredible company. I had a small problem with a candle purchased for Christmas. The owner was kind enough to send me two candles. It is rare to see companies as professional with such kindness and generosity.
