Shiyaaka White suits anyone who wants a fragrance that feels bright on first application and settles into something warmer and more resinous over the course of the day. The fruity opening makes it approachable, while the ambery, musky base gives it enough depth for daily wear across seasons. It works well for someone who wants one bottle that covers both a lighter, fruity mood and a warmer, more grounded one without switching fragrances.

Shiyaaka White opens on orange and red fruits brightened with saffron, moving into a heart of ambery notes, incense, jasmine and rose. The base settles into cashmere, labdanum, musk and vanilla for a warm, resinous finish. Khadlaj Shiyaaka White balances fruity brightness against a soft, ambery depth.
Khadlaj Shiyaaka White opens with a burst of orange and mixed red fruits, given lift and a faint spice edge by saffron. That fruity opening is juicy rather than sharp, closer to macerated fruit than fresh citrus, and saffron keeps it from turning too sweet in the first few minutes. As the top notes fade, the heart brings in ambery notes alongside incense, jasmine and rose. The incense adds a light smokiness that sits underneath the florals rather than dominating them, while jasmine and rose keep the middle soft and slightly powdery rather than sharp or green. It is the amber running through this stage that ties the fruit at the top to the resins waiting underneath. In the base, cashmere and labdanum bring a smooth, slightly leathery warmth, musk rounds out the skin-close finish, and vanilla adds a gentle sweetness without turning the whole composition into a dessert scent. The overall shape moves from bright and fruity to warm and ambery, with the resinous base doing most of the lasting work. It reads as a fragrance built around contrast — juicy fruit set against soft resin — rather than one dominant note carrying the whole composition, and the ambery thread running from top to base is what holds the whole structure together. Worn over a full day, that thread is what keeps the fragrance coherent even as the fruit and floral stages come and go, so it never feels like separate notes taking turns so much as one warm base slowly rising to the surface.
The first twenty minutes belong to the orange, red fruit and saffron combination, which is at its most vivid straight after application and softens quickly. Within the first hour, the ambery and incense notes start to come through, and this is where jasmine and rose take over as the most noticeable part of the fragrance — a soft, slightly powdery floral stage rather than an overtly sweet one. From the second or third hour onward, the base notes take the lead. Cashmere and labdanum bring a smoother, warmer character, musk keeps it close to the skin, and vanilla adds a low-level sweetness that lingers longest. By the later stages of wear, what remains is mostly the ambery, musky base — the fruit and incense from earlier have faded into the background, leaving a warm, resinous trail rather than the brighter opening it started with.
Shiyaaka White is built from fruity top notes, a floral-ambery heart and a resinous, musky base, a combination that reads as unisex rather than pitched at one gender. The saffron and incense keep the floral notes from becoming too sweet or delicate, while the cashmere and labdanum base adds enough depth to suit a broader range of wearers. It sits comfortably within Khadlaj's wider range of fragrances designed to be worn by anyone.

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.
