Khadlaj Perfumes

Khadlaj Perfumes is a family-owned fragrance house founded in January 1997 in the United Arab Emirates by perfumer Mohamed Iqbal Abdul Sattar. The company is headquartered in Sharjah and has grown from a regional operation into an international business, with sources such as the brand’s own site and Gulf News reporting distribution in over 80 to 100+ countries and multiple branded showrooms in the UAE and Oman. Khadlaj positions itself at the intersection of Arabic perfumery traditions and Western-style compositions, working extensively with oud, musk, rose, and bakhoor formats alongside more conventional eau de parfum sprays.

Mohamed Iqbal Abdul Sattar, who is described by the brand as having more than 45 years of experience in perfumery, is credited with creating several of Khadlaj’s key lines, including Hareem Al Sultan, Bukhoor Al Bahaar, and the Oud Pure and Musk Pure collections. In addition to personal fragrances, Khadlaj has built a strong business in home and ambiance products such as bakhoor and air fresheners, which are highlighted on their corporate and LinkedIn pages as core specialities. The company also emphasizes private-label manufacturing and the KP25 series, a five-fragrance collection launched to mark its 25th anniversary. Overall, Khadlaj occupies a space between niche and mainstream Arabian perfumery, offering relatively accessible pricing while focusing on traditional Middle Eastern materials and long-lasting, oil-rich compositions.
