Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.
The main body of the scent, emerging as the top notes fade. It shapes how the fragrance smells once it settles on skin.

Heavier molecules that evaporate slowly, like woods, musk, amber and oud. They are there from the start, and they are what remains once the rest has faded.

Involve Hom Artisan opens sharp, with grapefruit, lemon and mint cut by pink pepper. Ginger, nutmeg and jasmine build a spiced, faintly floral heart before a dense base of incense, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, labdanum and white musk takes over for the long haul.
Involve Hom Artisan opens on a bright, citrus-forward accord: grapefruit and lemon give the sharpness, mint adds a cool edge, and pink pepper brings a light, dry spice that keeps the citrus from reading as purely fresh. The heart shifts toward warmer spice, with ginger and nutmeg giving it a slightly culinary, aromatic quality, while jasmine sits underneath as a soft floral counterweight rather than a dominant note. Iso E Super in the heart works mostly as texture, smoothing the transition between the sharper spices and the woods to come, and giving the composition a diffuse, slightly velvety quality rather than adding a note of its own. The base is the most built-out part of the fragrance: incense for a smoky, resinous character, vetiver for rooty depth, cedar and sandalwood together for a layered woodiness — cedar drier and more pencil-like, sandalwood creamier and softer — patchouli for an earthy, slightly damp undertone, labdanum for amber-leather warmth, and white musk tying the whole base together with a clean, skin-close finish. It is a dense base built from seven materials working in concert rather than one standout note. That density is the point: the base is designed to be the fragrance's longest-running phase, with the opening citrus acting mainly as an introduction to it. Cedar and sandalwood are given roughly equal weight rather than one dominating the other, so the woody core reads as layered and genuinely full rather than single-note or thin over time.
The opening runs bright and citrus-led, with grapefruit, lemon and mint setting a cool, sharp tone that pink pepper roughens slightly rather than softening it further. As the top notes fade, ginger and nutmeg move to the front, and the composition takes on a warmer, spicier character, with jasmine adding just enough floral lift to stop the spice from feeling one-note. From there, the transition into the base is gradual but substantial: incense, vetiver, cedar and sandalwood build in layers, with patchouli and labdanum deepening the accord further and white musk smoothing the edges as it settles. By the later hours, the citrus opening is a distant memory and the fragrance sits almost entirely in its resinous, woody base, which is built to hold its shape rather than fade evenly. Because the base carries so many materials, it reads as full rather than thin even many hours after application, unlike a much lighter citrus-only composition would at that same later point in its wear.
Involve Hom Artisan is built and marketed as a men's fragrance — the name itself signals this, and the spiced-citrus opening into an incense-woods base sits in classic masculine territory.
Involve Hom Artisan suits anyone who wants a spiced citrus opening that resolves into a dense, resinous woody base, making it a versatile choice from cooler mornings through into evening wear.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
