Abdul Samad Al Qurashi

Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is a Saudi Arabian fragrance and incense company founded in 1932 by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi. The family had already been trading in oud and aromatic materials for generations, and the brand grew out of this long-standing expertise in sourcing and blending natural oud oils, musks, attars, and incense. Over time, the founder’s sons each opened their own perfume shops, gradually building what has become a large regional and international retail network.

According to Fragrantica and the brand’s own materials, Abdul Samad Al Qurashi today offers hundreds of fragrances and aromatic products, including pure oud oils, oil blends, incense (oud chips, maamoul, bukhoor), and alcohol-based sprays. The company emphasizes Arabian perfumery traditions, with oud, rose, amber, saffron, musk, and sandalwood appearing repeatedly across its collections. Fragrantica notes that the modern catalog includes well over 100 listed perfumes, with the earliest entries in its database dating from the 2010s.

The brand operates extensive retail chains across the Middle East and abroad, with sources such as Fragrantica mentioning more than 500 stores worldwide. Official regional sites in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the US highlight product lines like Khashab Al Oud, musk cubes, concentrated oils, and mixed “mukhallat” blends. Although firmly rooted in Arabian style perfumery, the company also produces more contemporary-style compositions that combine fruit, florals, and spices with oud to appeal to a wider global audience.

Within Arabian perfumery, Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is particularly associated with high-profile oud oils and showpiece blends that can be significantly more expensive than mainstream designer fragrances. Its catalog spans entry-level items to luxury artisanal oils, which has helped the brand bridge traditional local clientele and international fragrance enthusiasts seeking authentic Middle Eastern scent profiles.
