Fragrance Notes
Mandarin orange, Sicilian orange and bergamot lead Coveted Shade, with ambergris and ginger behind them for a salty, lightly spiced edge. Citrus is the strongest accord by a long way, so this is a juicy Khadlaj built around fruit peel rather than flowers or wood.
The opening is the loudest part. Mandarin and Sicilian orange give a juicy, slightly fizzy orange, and the bergamot adds a sharper, faintly bitter lift to it. That peeled-orange brightness is the first impression. Ginger sits behind the fruit with a peppery edge, and a cool, green, herbal touch shows under the orange as it settles. Ambergris is the quietest of the five notes and is what comes forward as the orange eases: salty, with a little warmth, like skin after a day at the coast. The notes come as one list rather than split into top, heart and base, so this order follows how strongly each one shows.
Coveted Shade is built on the notes of Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton and is frequently compared to it. It shares the citrus-led accords and the arc, with bright orange first and a salty ambergris finish. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if that shape appeals, this is worth trying. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Mykonos Imperium Extrait de Parfum 100ml is in stock.

Coveted Shade is a citrus-led eau de parfum in the Khadlaj range, built around two kinds of orange and bergamot. The accords put citrus far ahead of everything else, with bright spice, a little sweetness and cool herbs behind it, so it reads as fresh and juicy rather than heavy. It suits anyone who likes a bright orange scent with a salty edge.

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.
