Al Haramain Perfumes

Al Haramain Perfumes was founded in 1970 by Kazi Abdul Haque, who began with a perfume trading business inspired by the aroma of oud in Makkah. The company started with a few stores in Makkah and Madinah in Saudi Arabia before expanding across the Gulf region and beyond. Over time, Al Haramain relocated its base of operations to the United Arab Emirates and developed into a vertically integrated perfume manufacturer and exporter.

From its early years, Al Haramain focused on oriental, agarwood based creations, offering attars, concentrated oils, incense, and spray perfumes. The brand emphasizes traditional Middle Eastern materials such as oud, amber, musk, sandalwood, and Taif rose, and highlights that it has crafted a portfolio of over 1000 fragrances. According to the company, its products are now sold through a network of showrooms across the GCC, wider Middle East, Asia, Europe, and in markets like the UK and USA, with distribution in more than 100 countries.

In recent years, Al Haramain has broadened its range from classic oud oils and alcohol free attars to more contemporary eau de parfum lines aimed at international consumers. While the brand continues to be strongly associated with dense, resinous oud compositions, it also produces fresher and more Western leaning blends to appeal to a wider audience. This combination of traditional Arabian perfumery and modern product formats has helped it become one of the more visible Middle Eastern perfume names in global retail and travel retail channels.
