Monaco Yacht Show has a way of pulling more than yachts into its orbit.
In 2026, the Principality’s luxury calendar widened again as Atyab Al Marshoud made its Monaco debut, bringing a Kuwaiti fragrance story that dates back to 1925 into the setting of Monaco Fashion Collective at Fairmont Monte-Carlo.
The appearance placed scent alongside fashion, design and social culture, giving visitors another lens on personal style during one of Monaco’s most international weeks.

Monaco Fashion Collective sets the stage
The fragrance house appeared as part of Monaco Fashion Collective, a four-day activation organised by Haute Models Monaco at Fairmont Monte-Carlo.
The programme sat naturally within the broader Monaco Yacht Show atmosphere, where fashion houses, hospitality venues and lifestyle brands often gather around the yachting industry’s global audience.
Philipp Plein brought a bolder runway energy to Nikki Beach Monte-Carlo, while FRAME presented its modern wardrobe direction at Amù Monte-Carlo.
Between those fashion moments, Atyab Al Marshoud’s pop-up offered something quieter but no less personal.
Fragrance works differently from clothing, but at this level it plays a similar role, shaping how someone is remembered before a word is said.
A Kuwaiti house with a French-made fragrance offer
Atyab Al Marshoud was founded in Kuwait in 1925 by Sulaiman Al Marshoud.
Its origins are closely tied to traditional Arabian perfumery, including incense, fragrant woods and perfume oils.
Over successive generations, the family business has developed into a perfume house with international ambitions while keeping that heritage at the centre of its identity.
At the Monaco event, CEO Marshoud Al Marshoud spoke about the legacy established by his grandfather and the responsibility of carrying the company into its next phase.
The timing gives the brand’s European push a particular resonance, with its centenary placing family continuity and expansion in the same frame.
The company states that it now has more than 86 branches, as well as a European presence in London’s Knightsbridge.
It also says its fragrances are manufactured in France, a detail that connects its Arabian olfactory roots with European production.
The Marshoud Series and its range of signatures
The Marshoud Series served as a clear introduction to the house’s fragrance vocabulary at the pop-up.
The numbered collection includes Marshoud 4 White, Marshoud 4 Red, Marshoud 4 Blue and Marshoud 4 Black.
Marshoud 4 White combines fresh mint, saffron, white musk and warm woods, bringing freshness into dialogue with a deeper base.
Marshoud 4 Red moves in a different direction, pairing pink pepper, cardamom and sweet raspberry for a fruitier and spicier profile.
The contrast is important because Arabian perfumery is often associated with oud, incense and dense woods, but contemporary fragrance customers are not looking for a single fixed definition of richness.
Atyab Al Marshoud’s Monaco presentation suggested a house interested in range rather than repetition.
What the Monaco debut signals
For Atyab Al Marshoud, Monaco offers access to a clientele already fluent in international luxury but still open to discovery.
The brand has indicated that a Cannes store is anticipated, alongside a stronger Monaco presence around major events in 2027.
Those plans would give the house more opportunities to build recognition along the Riviera, particularly among clients who respond to heritage brands with a clear family story.
Monaco doesn’t lack fragrance, fashion or luxury retail, but it does reward brands that arrive with cultural specificity rather than a generic idea of prestige.
Atyab Al Marshoud’s debut mattered for that reason.
It brought a Kuwaiti perfume house into the Monaco Yacht Show orbit with a century of family history behind it and a broader European chapter beginning to take shape.
