Autobiography

Autobiography is a Dubai-based fragrance line and a sub-line of Paris Corner Perfumes, a fragrance house headquartered on Naif Road in the Deira district of Dubai [9]. The collection launched in 2020 and sits within its parent company's catalogue alongside other house lines rather than operating as an independent brand [1]. It belongs to the affordable end of the market, with its eau de parfum offerings positioned as accessible scents rather than prestige releases.

The line takes its name from its concept: each fragrance is meant to tell a part of the brand's story, with individual scents standing for different facets such as dynamism, curiosity, purity, freshness and oriental sophistication. Paris Corner describes the range as a set of "nectars" drawn "from happy cocktails to brighten your days and nights" [1].

Autobiography appears across Paris Corner's catalogues as one of several house lines, listed beside Emir, Arabian Oryx, Ministry of Oud and others [5]. The parent company presents itself as an "exquisite olfactory journey that encapsulates the timeless allure and romance of the City of Lights," pairing a Parisian image with Middle Eastern perfumery [5].

The founding date of Autobiography itself is recorded as 2020, the year Fragrantica lists for the collection's perfumes [9]. The parent company's own age is less certain: Paris Corner describes itself as having operated for roughly 30 years, while a retailer profile refers to "a rich three-decade legacy" and other company materials mention figures ranging from "almost 30 years" to "over four decades" [7][12]. No exact founding year for the parent house appears in any available source, and the individual founders and perfumers are not disclosed.

According to its LinkedIn profile, Paris Corner Perfumes employs between 51 and 200 people, works in personal-care product manufacturing, and ships internationally [9]. The company says delivery covers the United Arab Emirates with free shipping above a set order value, alongside wider global distribution.

The collection's stated idea is to use scent as a form of narrative, with the bottle design reinforcing the theme. The packaging is square — a shape the company says "gives a feeling of force" — and finished with a gold seal that, in its words, "sets the tone for the prestige," while bottle colours are chosen to reflect each scent's dominant ingredient [1].

Autobiography fits within Paris Corner's broader mission, which the parent states as creating "unique fragrances that assure quality and affordability for every fragrance lover" [7]. The house frames this as accessible luxury, blending what it calls the "deep flavors of Orient and those of West." Its products are sold under the umbrella tagline "A Symphony of Senses" [9].

Autobiography is a fragrance-only line, sold as eau de parfum in 65ml bottles. Its releases include Supreme Gold, a woody-spicy scent built on cinnamon and pepper over tobacco leaf, vanilla bean and cedar; Oh Boy!, a citrus-aromatic blend of bergamot and lemon with musk, amber and patchouli; Salty Breeze, described by the company as a coastal scent of sage, sea salt and seaweed; and Citron Vanille, a unisex citrus-and-vanilla composition also sold as Lemon Vanilla. Across the line, the recurring notes draw on citrus, vanilla, musk, amber, patchouli and oud.

Some third-party coverage places Paris Corner's output, including the Autobiography series, within the market for affordable "impressions or clones of renowned designer and niche perfumes" [12].

Autobiography remains in active distribution. The line is listed by multiple resellers across Europe, the United States and the UAE, and its parent company maintains an active presence on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook [5]. There is no dedicated website for Autobiography on its own; it is sold through Paris Corner's sites and retail channels.
