Question 1

What is oud perfume and why is it popular in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Oud perfume is built around agarwood notes that smell deep, woody, and warm. UK buyers choose oud because it feels luxurious, performs well in cold weather, and lasts longer than many fresh designer scents.

Question 2

Can I try perfumes in the store before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can sample our fragrances at our London stores and get guidance on notes, longevity, and best matches for your style. Visit our Aldgate East, Eastgate Centre or Royal Victoria Place locations.

Question 3

What is the difference between Arabian perfume oil and eau de parfum?

Accepted Answer

Arabian perfume oil is alcohol free and more concentrated, so it wears closer to the skin and releases slowly. Eau de parfum is a spray with alcohol that projects more at first but fades faster.

Question 4

How long do your oud perfumes and perfume oils last?

Accepted Answer

Perfume oils usually last longer because they evaporate slowly. Eau de parfum typically lasts several hours, depending on skin and weather. Oud-based formulas tend to outlast lighter styles.

Question 5

Are perfume oils safe for daily use and sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Perfume oils, also called attars, are generally safe and alcohol free. If you have sensitive skin, patch test first because some natural ingredients can irritate a small number of people.

Question 6

How should I apply perfume oil for the best performance?

Accepted Answer

Apply a small amount to pulse points like wrists and neck. Let it dry on the skin without rubbing so the notes develop properly. Oils are strong, so a little goes far.

Question 7

What is bakhoor, and how do I use it at home?

Accepted Answer

Bakhoor are scented incense chips used to fragrance rooms and clothing. You burn a small piece of charcoal or an electric burner so the scent releases slowly into the space.

Question 8

Which type of fragrance should I choose for gifts?

Accepted Answer

For gifts, choose eau de parfum if the person likes noticeable projection, and perfume oil if they prefer a softer, longer wearing scent. Discovery sets and gift boxes work well when you are unsure about their exact preference.

Question 9

Do you offer oud perfumes for men, women, and unisex wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Oud is used across men’s scents, women’s blends, and unisex profiles. The difference is in supporting notes like amber, floral, fruity, or musk.

Question 10

Do you ship across the UK and offer free delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We ship nationwide from London. Free UK delivery applies to orders over £25.
