OUR STORY
Inspired by centuries of Middle Eastern craftsmanship, Oud & Ambar by Maison de Kashlan was created to preserve the tradition of authentic handcrafted laurel oil soap while reimagining it for modern luxury.
Every bar is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans using time-honored techniques. Because each bar is made by hand, every piece is naturally unique. Its smooth, buttery texture when cut is a signature characteristic of authentic handcrafted laurel oil soap, and a reminder of the care behind every product.
Infused with our exclusive Oud & Ambar fragrance, our collection transforms everyday self-care into a timeless ritual of heritage, craftsmanship, and refined luxury.
THE HERITAGE
The story of soap begins nearly 5,000 years ago in ancient Babylon, where early civilizations discovered that blending water, alkali, and fats created a substance with remarkable cleansing powers. By 2800 BCE, these first soap-like creations marked the dawn of one of humanity’s most enduring self-care rituals. Nowhere did this art flourish more profoundly than in Syria, where master artisans perfected the making of laurel and olive oil soap. Celebrated for its purity, natural benefits, and cultural significance, it has endured as a symbol of authenticity and refinement.

Guardians of the city during the Roman era, the Seven Gates were believed to radiate unique energies and spiritual power. Over the centuries, they evolved from protective thresholds into vibrant centers of culture, trade, and storytelling, each gate reflecting a distinct essence that still echoes through Damascus today. Inspired by these timeless portals, our collection transforms the city’s rich heritage into fragrance, each scent capturing the soul of a historic gate, from the delicate bloom of Bab al-Jabiya to the mystic depth of Bab Sharqi.
