Emessa uses the family words Oriental and woody, and the Maison Asrar list is short: bergamot and a spicy note on top, rose and a woody note in the heart, and ambery and balsamic terms underneath.

Notes as Maison Asrar lists them on its website, read on 24 October 2026.
Bergamot gives the opening its zest, and the general Spicy entry adds warmth without naming a specific spice, so expect a dry or sweetly warm tingle, depending on how it is built. Rose and a general woody note share the heart. Rose supplies floral softness and the woody term firms it up, so the centre is likely to read as a petal note held in place by dry timber rather than a lush bouquet.
Ambery and balsamic terms make up the base. Ambery implies a warm, glowing resinous sweetness, while balsamic points to the soft, sticky, sweet-resinous character of tree balsams, which tends to read as smooth and gently sweet. In sum, it is a compact Oriental: a bright, spiced start, a rose and wood centre and a warm, resinous finish. Because the terms are general, the exact character is open to interpretation, but the direction is clear.
Maison Asrar's product page for Emessa gives its family as oriental and woody.
It also puts words of its own on three of the notes: bergamot (citrus, fresh, elegant), rose (floral, elegant, romantic) and amber (warm, deep, rich).
Perfume readers who prefer a simple, three-step build of zest and spice, then rose and wood, then warm resin, may like this list. Because the brand uses broad terms here, it is worth comparing with other Maison Asrar entries that name their resins and spices outright, and reading what those add to a similar rose and ambery outline.
