This is the largest gendered category we stock, and it covers far more ground than “sweet” — which is what most people expect from Arabian perfume and only half the story.

The sweet, creamy end is where Yara lives, and it is where most people start. Sakeena (£16.99) sits nearby with passion fruit and raspberry over praline, and Shahd (£16.99) does almond and tuberose over vanilla — softer, more grown-up.

The floral end runs from everyday to formal. Rave Now Women (£15.99) is rose and jasmine with oud underneath, wearable to an office. Queen of Roses (£34.99) is rose, saffron and amber and is an evening fragrance, not a daily one — worth knowing before you buy, because they are not interchangeable.

The fruity-musky end — Ramaad Al Oud (£19.99), blackcurrant and raspberry over musk — is the safest choice if you dislike sweetness but want something feminine.

Buying your first one? Under £20 buys you a full 100ml bottle here, so there is no need to commit to a £35 fragrance on a guess. Try one of the £15–17 bottles first and learn which end of the range you belong to.

Gifting. Sweet and creamy is the safe default; rose-and-oud is the riskier, more memorable choice. Our gift guide works through it, and if halal-friendliness matters to the recipient, our guide covers the alcohol question honestly.

Every bottle is 100% authentic Lattafa with the official authentication seal, dispatched from the UK within 24 hours, with free tracked delivery and 30-day returns.
