FOUNDER OF ANOOD SCENTS

Born in Bahrain. Crafted in New York. Remembered
everywhere.

Drawing inspiration from her past and present life in Bahrain, Alanood
created Anood Scents to bridge the olfactive heritage of the East with Western
sensibilities. Each eau de parfum reflects her personal scent stories, shaped
by cherished notes and cultural nuances.

 

Alanood rediscovered her love for perfumery during the global COVID
lockdown. In that quiet stretch of time, she returned to the scents that
shaped her—the roses, the jasmine, oud, frankincense, and amber—and felt her
passion reignite. What began as a reflection became rediscovery. Her passion
for scent was reawakened, inspiring her to study the composition of notes,
ingredients, and essential oils.

 

Before launching Anood, she founded the acclaimed Gloss Beauty Salon
in Bahrain, which recently celebrated its 16th anniversary. Over the years,
Gloss has earned multiple Oh La La Spa and Beauty Awards, firmly establishing
its reputation as a leader in Bahrain’s beauty industry. A true beauty
entrepreneur, Alanood continues to explore new avenues of creativity and
storytelling through both fragrance and beauty.

 

In 2025, she introduced her debut scent trio;  Deep Dive 1, Sunny
7, and Thorny 6  at Stele New York, a premier fragrance lifestyle
boutique. The launch marked the beginning of her expanding olfactive journey.

 

When she’s not traveling the world, Alanood returns home to her
husband and four children in Bahrain, surrounded by scents and memories that
continue to inspire the stories for Anood.
