25 Heritage suits anyone who wants the depth of a traditional spiced-oud fragrance but with a fresher, more approachable opening — the bergamot and geranium top makes it easier to wear in daytime settings than a straightforward oud, while the cedarwood and oud base still delivers real warmth for cooler evenings. It's a good option for someone who enjoys oud-based scents but wants more brightness up top.

Bergamot and geranium open fresh and slightly green, moving into cypriol, nutmeg and cardamom at the heart before settling on cedarwood, oud and musk. 25 Heritage is a spiced-woody eau de parfum with real depth in the base, built for those who want a fresher opening leading into a darker, more traditional wood finish.
25 Heritage opens on bergamot and geranium, a combination that reads as citrus-fresh with a slightly green, leafy undertone from the geranium rather than a purely sweet or floral one. As the opening settles, cypriol — also known as nagarmotha — brings a smoky, woody-earthy note into the heart that is distinctly different from more common heart notes like rose or jasmine, giving the fragrance an unusual, slightly rustic character early on. Nutmeg and cardamom sit alongside it, adding warm spice without pushing into gourmand or overtly sweet territory — cardamom in particular contributes a cooling, slightly citrus-adjacent spiciness that keeps the heart from feeling heavy. The base is where the fragrance's heritage-inspired character comes through most clearly: cedarwood provides a dry, structured woodiness, oud adds a dark, resinous depth, and musk softens and rounds out the whole composition. Taken together, this is a fragrance that moves from a fresh, green-citrus opening into a genuinely spiced and woody core, landing on a traditional oud-cedarwood base that gives it more gravity than its opening alone would suggest. Cypriol is the note that sets 25 Heritage apart from a more generic citrus-spice-wood fragrance — it has a raw, almost damp-earth quality that few mainstream compositions use so directly, and it is what gives the middle of the fragrance its distinctly heritage-oriented, slightly rustic character rather than a polished, modern one.
In the first stretch after application, 25 Heritage leads with bergamot and geranium, giving a fresh, slightly green first impression that is brighter than the fragrance ultimately becomes. Within the first hour, the cypriol starts to emerge, bringing its distinctive smoky-woody quality forward, with nutmeg and cardamom layering warm spice on top of it — this is the stage where the fragrance's more unusual character becomes most apparent, as the smoky cypriol is not a note most wearers will have encountered often. From the mid-wear point through to the later hours, cedarwood, oud and musk take over as the dominant accord, and the fragrance settles into a warm, dry, woody finish that is noticeably darker and more traditional than the fresh citrus opening suggested. This arc — from fresh and green, through smoky-spiced, to dry and woody — is a more dramatic transformation than many fragrances in this style undergo, and it is worth wearing through a full day at least once to appreciate how differently it reads at each stage.
25 Heritage is unisex. While cypriol and oud are notes often associated with traditionally masculine fragrances, Khadlaj builds this into a broader citrus-spice-wood structure rather than a heavy, single-note oud composition, and nothing in the note list points decisively toward one gender. It suits anyone drawn to a spiced, woody fragrance with a fresher opening than a typical oud.

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.
