Oud Arabian

Oud Arabian carries more than 400 fragrances and almost all of them are Arabian. That focus is the point.

Most UK retailers that sell Lattafa sell the four everyone has heard of. Here Lattafa runs past 50 products, with French Avenue, Rayhaan, Khadlaj, Afnan and Zimaya each carried in real numbers, and Armaf, Swiss Arabian and Rasasi behind them. If you have worked through the famous ones and want to know what else a house actually makes, this is the shape of catalogue that answers it.

The largest single line is Bujairami, carried more deeply here than anywhere else we have seen, at £39.99 for 100ml eau de parfum and £49.99 for extrait. That sits where most Arabian houses sit, so it is not a premium play.

Prices across the range stay in that band, which makes exploring a house cheap enough to actually do. Buying three from one perfumer to understand their style costs less than one designer bottle.

Worth your time if the general retailers have started to feel thin, and you would rather browse forty things from one house than one thing from forty.
