Ria opens with juicy raspberry, mandarin orange, cherry and strawberry, moves into a grapefruit-and-musk heart, and settles into patchouli and blackcurrant for a fruity, sweet finish with a soft woody edge. Fragrantica's community voting (59 votes) rates its longevity as moderate for the majority of wearers, with just over a fifth calling it long-lasting.
Ria is a 2025 Fruity fragrance from Khadlaj. It opens on raspberry, mandarin orange, cherry and strawberry — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts fruity at 100% strength and citrus close behind at 79%, with sweet at 74%. The heart brings grapefruit and musk, with the musky accord measured at 57%. The base settles into patchouli (55%) and blackcurrant, with a woody undertone (50%) and a cherry facet (46%) running through the whole composition. The overall effect reads as bright, juicy fruit over a softer, slightly earthy base rather than anything green or aquatic.
Ria opens sharp and juicy on the raspberry-cherry-strawberry mix, with mandarin orange lifting the top further. Grapefruit keeps the middle citrus-bright while musk starts to round the fruit off and soften its edges. Patchouli and blackcurrant carry the dry-down, pulling the scent from bright fruit toward something warmer and a little earthy, without losing the sweetness underneath. Fragrantica voters lean firmly toward daytime wear — 82% log it as a day scent against 18% for evening, out of 83 votes.
Of 59 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (56%) rate Ria's staying power as moderate, with 22% calling it long-lasting, 12% weak, 7% very weak and 3% eternal. Sillage tracks similarly: of 61 votes, 66% describe its projection as moderate, 18% as strong and 16% as more intimate and skin-close. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes split almost evenly between spring (44%) and summer (42%) out of 173 votes, with autumn (9%) and winter (5%) trailing well behind. It reads as a warm-weather fragrance first, with the fruity brightness suited to the transitional and hot months of the year.
Khadlaj markets Ria as a women's fragrance, and Fragrantica's community voting agrees strongly — of 74 gender votes, 80% call it female and a further 14% female-leaning, against just 5% marking it unisex. Given how one-sided that split is, FG Perfumes lists Ria as a women's fragrance in line with the weight of the evidence.
Fragrantica's community links Ria most closely to Rouge Trafalgar by Dior, with Burberry Her and Zimaya's Hawwa Red also frequently mentioned — all sharing a similarly bright, fruity-sweet accord profile. If you like that style of fragrance, Ria is a reasonable place to start. FG also carries Velvet Rose by Lattafa, another of the fragrances Fragrantica's community frequently links to Ria, as an in-stock alternative.

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.
