From the Thames to the Red Sea

Thames & Red was founded in 2025 at the meeting point of London luxury and Arabian heritage. Our name carries both: the river that runs through London and the sea that touches the Arabian coast.

Where it began

The idea came from a personal need. My husband had persistent dry, flaky skin, yet loved bold, traditional oud fragrances. Soaps rich in scent often felt harsh, while gentler ones lacked depth. Unable to find the balance, we set out to create it ourselves.

Two influences

British influence shapes our pursuit of excellence: precision, restraint and care. Arabian heritage brings depth, warmth and character to our scents.

Refined yet expressive. London design, Arabian inspiration.

In every detail

You will find both in each bar: London street names on the City collection, Arabian fragrance traditions in the scents, and Tower Bridge in gold on every box.
