Rogue Perfumes

Family-run UK indie with designer-inspired sprays and a niche-inspired Dubai Collection Exclusive line.

About Rogue Perfumes

Rogue Perfumes is a family-run UK indie based in Leicester, England, founded in 2015. The house registered as Rogue Perfumes Ltd at Companies House and operates a DTC site at rogueperfumes.co.uk alongside selective European stockists. Production is handled in the UK on a small-batch handmade basis, with the brand emphasising free UK delivery, a free sample with every order, and a members exclusive that bundles 15 percent off with early access to new releases.

The catalogue divides into two clear ranges. The designer-inspired aftershaves and perfumes range is the bread-and-butter line: affordable 70ml EDP interpretations of mainstream designers like Terre d'Hermes, Hypnotic Poison, Erba Pura, Neroli Portofino, and Ombre Nomade, sold to UK fragrance enthusiasts seeking dupe-quality at accessible prices. The second range trades as the Dubai Collection Exclusive under the Oud D'Arabie London sub-label and gathers concentrated EDP interpretations of niche houses. The Dubai Collection lineup includes 8th Wonder, CinnaHoney, Velvety Tonka, Coast of Azuura, Heavenly Essence, Sultan Golden Crown, Apple Pie, Spice and Vanilla, Spirits on the Rocks, Majestic Empire, and Aurora Alexandria. Each Dubai Collection bottle is marketed as a handcrafted, limited-batch piece produced in the UK.

Alongside the two house ranges the site stocks a Fragrances of Arabia section reselling Ajmal, Arabian Oud, pure oud, and deer musk, plus a designer oil perfumery range. The cumulative offer is unusual for a UK indie: a small in-house catalogue with a distinct dupe identity, paired with curated third-party Arabian stock that lets the brand serve both the dupe shopper and the oud enthusiast from one storefront.

Brand Evolution

The brand has grown by layering the Dubai Collection Exclusive niche-inspired tier on top of the original designer-inspired range, then adding curated third-party Arabian stock to broaden the storefront. Each step has nudged the catalogue further from pure designer dupes toward a fuller dupe-house identity that covers designer, niche, and traditional Arabian shoppers under one roof.
