Founder & Creative Director
Taste cannot be manufactured.
For Olfat Kabbani, gifting begins with understanding a person, sensing what an occasion requires and knowing when the smallest detail changes the entire experience.
Olfat Kabbani
Founder and Chairwoman of Olfa Gift House
Mrs.Olfat Kabbani has been appointed by the government to be board member of the chamber of commerce and the vice president of the industrial committee. And she was the appointed president for the first Corporate Social Responsibility committee in the Chamber of commerce of Jeddah. And she also was the consultant of productive families in the Emirate of Mackah Region.
A new independent identity.
cross more than three decades, Olfat Kabbani has developed a distinctive practice through private commissions, fragrance creation, gifting programmes and a close understanding of how exceptional objects should be presented.
Her knowledge of perfume grew through decades of close engagement with fragrance as both a discerning consumer and a hands-on creator capable of shaping scent by instinct. She conceives, curates and hand-finishes distinctive objects and presentations—often as one-of-a-kind pieces for a particular person or occasion.
“Luxury begins with attention—and attention begins with knowing whom the gift is for.”
Her connection to her family’s fragrance heritage, including Perfumes of Arabia, forms one part of a wider story defined by her own taste, relationships and creative judgement.
OLFA transforms this established practice into an independent institution: a disciplined House with a clear creative language, enduring standards and the capacity to serve private and institutional clients at scale.
