New to Arabian perfume?
This is the full Scentorium range in one place, and a good starting point if Arabian perfume is new to you. In short, expect scents that are richer, sweeter and far longer-lasting than most high-street fragrances, thanks to a higher concentration of oil.
Good places to start: for him, Asad and Liquid Brun; for her, Ameerat Al Arab and Eclaire; and as a unisex introduction, the cult Khamrah or the smooth Barakkat Satin Oud.
A little goes a long way, so two sprays is often enough, and the scent will keep developing on your skin over the first hour. If you want to explore before committing, our 5ml pocket decants let you sample several.
Arabian perfume FAQs
What are Arabian perfumes?
Arabian perfumes are fragrances made in the Middle Eastern tradition, built around notes like oud, amber, musk, rose and warm spice. They are usually richer and more concentrated than Western designer scents, which is why they last so long and feel so distinctive.
Why are Dubai perfumes so affordable?
Most are made by large Gulf perfume houses and sold without the designer branding and marketing that inflate luxury prices. You are paying for the juice rather than the name, which is how they offer high concentration and quality at a fraction of the cost.
Do Arabian perfumes last a long time?
Yes, that is one of their signatures. The high oil concentration means many last all day and project well from just a couple of sprays, with the oud and amber styles lasting longest.
How are they different from designer perfumes?
They tend to be more concentrated, lean into oud, amber and sweet spice rather than light freshness, and cost far less. Many people find they outlast and outproject the designer scents they are used to.
