Arabic Perfumes

Fragrances from Gulf and Arab houses — Lattafa, Ibraheem Al Qurashi (IBRAQ) and Assaf. This is the amber, oud, incense and tobacco side of the catalogue: heavier, sweeter and far more projective than the average European designer release, and closer to what most people in Egypt and the Gulf actually reach for in winter.

What to expect from them

Arabic perfumery tends to build on dense base materials — oud, amber, resins, vanilla, tobacco — rather than on a bright top note. That means these bottles usually take longer to open up, last longer on skin and fabric, and carry further. Apply less than you would with a designer Eau de Toilette.

Several are sold in larger 150 ml and 200 ml bottles, which is normal for the category and part of why the cost per wear is low.

Most of these suit cool weather — see Winter Fragrances and Evening Fragrances. For lighter Arabic options that hold up in heat, look at the citrus-led bottles in Summer Fragrances. Full catalogue in Perfumes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Arabic perfumes stronger than designer perfumes?
Generally yes in projection and longevity, because they are built on heavier base materials like oud, amber and resins. That also means a lighter application goes further.

Do these contain real oud?
Note listings on each product page name the materials the house publishes, oud included where it is listed. Every bottle here is an original release from the house named on it.

Is cash on delivery available across Egypt?
Yes, on all orders within Egypt, delivered in 3 to 5 business days. Orders over 1,300 EGP ship free automatically.
