Shaikh Mohd Saeed

Shaikh Mohd Saeed is a family-owned perfume company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, established in 1954 by the late Shaikh Mohammed Saeed, a fragrance specialist who was among the first to introduce organized perfume manufacturing in the UAE. The business began as one of Deira Souq’s earliest dedicated perfume shops and expanded into a wider group active in manufacturing, export, wholesale distribution and retail of perfumes and oud.

Over the decades the company has developed a portfolio that spans Arabic, Oriental and Western style fragrances, including its own labels such as Shaikh Saeed, Hunaidi, Dhamma Perfumes and several French-inspired brands. It is also cited as one of the major distributors of French perfumes in the region, reflecting its dual focus on traditional Middle Eastern perfumery and contemporary European compositions. The brand’s collections include themed lines such as Amber, Legacy 70 and Oud, with modern releases documented from 2023 onwards.

Headquartered in Dubai, with heritage premises in Murshid Bazar and multiple outlets across the Emirates, Shaikh Mohd Saeed maintains direct control over production and retail channels, from raw materials and blending to finished goods and private label services. Leadership has stayed within the founder’s family, who continue to guide product development and expansion into markets such as Pakistan, underscoring the brand’s emphasis on continuity and regional cultural familiarity.

Today the company is positioned as an accessible source of concentrated oils, sprays, oud, bakhoor and incense products that blend Middle Eastern aromatic traditions with French-style perfumery, targeted both at local consumers and international visitors seeking strong, long-lasting scents at relatively attainable price points.
