AL FAIZAN's clothing is designed to keep things minimalistic with practical modern twists. Its Ramadhan collection (£49.99 each) includes:

The 2016 Business Standard is positioned between formalwear and casual wear. With the sleeves buttoned down and the placket zipped up, it is a formal classic; with the sleeves up and the collar buttoned up, it becomes a casual thobe.

2016 Business Standard black/white
A classic all white thobe complete with black contrast lining.

2016 Business Standard sky/white
A clear sky blue complete with white contrast lining.

2016 Business Oxford blue/white
A sky blue thobe complete with white contrasting buttons. With the button-down collar, buttoned breast pocket and pleated hook on the rear, this thobe has all the details one would expect of an Oxford shirt.

2016 Business Penny cream/brown
A cream thobe complete with white contrasting piping, introduced in response to requests for the colour combination. This piece features contrast brown piping along the penny collar and the cuff. A button-down feature has been added to increase the formal appeal.

The One Royal Night for men is an exclusive fragrance within Dolce&Gabbana’s Classic House, The One. The newest fragrance, with an Arabian twist, is an exclusive product from the designers for the Middle East, inspired by the richness, culture and traditions of the region.

The One Royal Night for men is described by Dolce&Gabbana as a blend of opulence and sophistication boasting a woody composition with notes of cardamom, basil, wild pear wood, and spicy nutmeg, followed by a base of cedar, sandalwood, labdanum* and pure amber in its most refined form. Qatar Duty Free will also offer a select number items from the Dolce&Gabbana makeup and niche fragrance collection, Velvet, for the first time at the display.

The Velvet Collection offered will include both 50ml and 150ml bottles of some of Dolce&Gabbana’s most popular niche fragrances such as Velvet Love, Velvet Patchouli, Desert Oud and Tender Oud.
