Anabia Blue suits anyone drawn to leather and spice notes but who wants an opening light enough for daytime wear. The bergamot and tea start keeps it fresh initially, while the leather, cedarwood and honey base gives it enough depth to move comfortably into evening wear without needing to switch fragrances.

Anabia Blue opens with bergamot and tea, a fresh, slightly bitter start before lavender and saffron bring a herbal, spiced middle. The base of leather, cedarwood and honey adds warmth and depth. Khadlaj Anabia Blue moves from a crisp opening into a warm, leathery finish.
Khadlaj Anabia Blue opens on a fresh, slightly bitter accord of bergamot and tea, the bergamot gives it a familiar citrus-floral lift, while the tea note brings a dry, slightly tannic edge that keeps the opening from feeling sweet or soft. It's a short, focused note list at the top, and that simplicity gives the opening a clean, uncluttered character. As the fragrance develops, lavender and saffron come through together, and this pairing is what defines the middle: the lavender brings a herbal, slightly cool quality, while the saffron adds a warm, faintly leathery spice that starts to hint at where the fragrance is heading. Underneath, leather, cedarwood and honey form a warm, layered base. The leather is the standout here, giving the drydown a slightly smoky, animalic depth that's uncommon in a note list this compact, the cedarwood adds a dry woody support underneath it, and the honey brings a soft, non-cloying sweetness that rounds off the leather rather than fighting it. The tea note in particular is unusual to see paired with leather and honey, and it's this combination that gives Anabia Blue its distinct character rather than any one note on its own. Worn as a whole, Anabia Blue moves from a crisp, tea-tinged citrus opening through a herbal-spiced middle into a warm, leathery-honeyed finish, a fragrance with a fairly small note list that still manages to shift character noticeably from open to close.
The first stretch of wear is dominated by bergamot and tea, fresh, slightly bitter, and quite dry for an opening. As that fades, lavender and saffron begin to take over, softening the dryness with a herbal quality from the lavender while the saffron introduces a warmer, spiced note that starts building toward the base. This middle stage is where the fragrance transitions most noticeably, moving from a cool, tea-like freshness to something warmer and more textured. In the later hours, leather, cedarwood and honey settle in fully. The leather becomes the dominant note at this stage, giving the fragrance a smoky, slightly animalic depth that wasn't present earlier, while the honey keeps it from feeling too dry or severe. By the end of the wear, what remains close to the skin is a warm, leathery, faintly sweet finish, a considerable shift from the crisp bergamot-and-tea opening, but one that happens gradually rather than abruptly. Because the note list stays short at every stage, none of the transitions feel crowded, each new accord has room to establish itself before the next one arrives.
Anabia Blue defaults to unisex. Leather and saffron notes are often marketed toward men, but the bergamot and tea opening and the honey in the base soften that association, and nothing in the note structure is sharply gendered enough to move it out of unisex territory.

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.
