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.

Karus Amber Gold opens with narcissus and jasmine, moves into a rose, blackcurrant and cyclamen heart, and settles into oud and patchouli. On Fragrantica's community votes, 80% of wearers call it long lasting, with moderate-to-strong sillage that favours autumn and winter.
Karus Amber Gold opens with narcissus and jasmine, moves through a rose, blackcurrant and cyclamen heart, and settles into an oud and patchouli base. Fragrantica classifies it as an Oriental Floral, and the accord breakdown leans heavily oud, floral and rose, with fruity and green running underneath. The floral oud shape stays softer than a straight woody build — softer than a pure oud, too — with the rose and blackcurrant keeping it from turning heavy.
The opening is narcissus and jasmine — bright and slightly green, with a white floral character coming through early. As it settles, rose and cyclamen take over with a light blackcurrant sweetness. The oud and patchouli base builds slowly underneath, giving the fragrance a warmer, woodier close than the floral opening suggests.
On a small set of Fragrantica community votes (15 responses), 80% rate Karus Amber Gold as long lasting. Sillage votes (14 responses) split moderate to strong, with half calling it strong and a smaller group rating it enormous. It holds through the day instead of fading, with real but not overwhelming projection. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes (27 responses, a small sample) favour cooler weather — autumn leads at 44%, with winter close behind at 37%. Spring and summer trail well behind, which fits an oud-and-patchouli base suited to layering rather than heat.
Khadlaj markets Karus Amber Gold as unisex, and Fragrantica's own catalogue listing agrees. Community gender votes (16 responses, a small sample) lean the same way — just over half call it unisex, with the rest split between leaning female and leaning male and no decisive pull to either side.
Fragrantica's community lists Tom Ford's Noir de Noir among the fragrances people associate with Karus Amber Gold — both share a rose-and-oud shape, though Karus Amber Gold runs brighter up top with its narcissus and jasmine opening. The same list also names Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense, which we carry, for the same rose-and-oud backbone.
Karus Amber Gold sits within Khadlaj's Karus line, an Oriental Floral built around a rose-and-oud heart with a lifted narcissus and jasmine opening. It gives an oud base without the sharper, drier profile that straight oud fragrances often carry — the fruity and green accords keep it rounded rather than austere. Community longevity votes point to a fragrance that holds well once applied, making it a reasonable one-application option for a working day or an evening out.

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.
