The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.

Gaith opens on pepper and ginger, moves through a lavender, incense and cypress heart, and settles into a warm, resinous base of vanilla, patchouli and labdanum. Gaith builds a rich amber-spicy signature — 71% of Fragrantica's community call it long lasting.
Gaith opens with pepper and ginger — a sharp, warming start with a little spice-market bite. The heart moves into lavender, incense and cypress, giving it an aromatic, resinous quality rather than anything sweet or fruity. The base is where it settles: vanilla, patchouli and labdanum build into a soft, ambery warmth. Fragrantica's accord breakdown backs this up — amber sits at the top of the profile, followed by lavender, warm spicy and fresh spicy tones, with woody, vanilla, balsamic and patchouli rounding out the rest. It reads as an oriental spicy fragrance built around amber and spice, not oud or florals.
The opening is peppery and bright, with ginger giving it a zesty lift in the first few minutes. Within the first hour the lavender and incense heart takes over, pulling Gaith toward something more aromatic and resinous, with cypress adding a green, slightly woody edge. By the base, vanilla and labdanum soften the profile into a warm, ambery finish with patchouli underneath — it starts sharp and settles calm.
Fragrantica's community voting gives Gaith strong marks for both — though on a small sample of 14 votes per axis, so treat the figures as directional rather than definitive. 71% of voters call it long lasting, and 79% describe its sillage as strong, meaning it projects rather than sitting close to skin. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Seasonal votes on Fragrantica (38 votes, a small sample) come out almost even across the year, with a slight lean toward spring and autumn — 26% each — over winter and summer, at 24% each. In practice that makes Gaith a year-round fragrance rather than one built for a single season.
Gaith is marketed as unisex — the brand describes it as a fragrance for both men and women. Fragrantica's own gender voting leans male, but with nothing to suggest it is marketed strictly for one gender, we default to unisex to match how Khadlaj positions it.
On Fragrantica's community 'reminds me of' list, the first match outside Khadlaj's own range is Dior's Sauvage Elixir, which shares Gaith's warm, ambery-spicy shape. Gaith isn't built to copy it — its own note set of pepper, ginger, lavender, incense and vanilla gives it a softer, more resinous character — but the accord overlap explains why wearers draw the comparison. Further down the same list is Asad by Lattafa, which we also carry, for buyers who want to compare the amber-spicy shape against another brand.

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.
