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.

Orientica Cuir De Luxury Eau de Parfum 90ml opens with pepper and mandarin orange, moving into a powdery violet, styrax and iris heart before settling on leather, musk and cedar. Iris gives the middle stage a cool, suede-like softness that leads naturally into the leather base, keeping the whole composition refined rather than harsh.
The opening is short and sharp: pepper brings a dry, slightly warm spice while mandarin orange adds a brighter, juicier citrus edge, and the two together give a lively but not sweet start, closer to a spiced citrus than a straightforward fruit note. That energy settles quickly into the heart, where violet, styrax and iris take over - violet contributes a soft, powdery floral note, styrax a resinous, faintly smoky warmth, and iris a cool, suede-like texture that bridges the floral heart and the leather to come. The iris in particular is doing a lot of work here, softening what could otherwise be a sharp leather composition into something closer to worn suede than raw hide, and the balance between the powdery violet and the resinous styrax keeps the heart from feeling one-dimensional. The base brings leather, musk and cedar together, with the leather note reading as clean and polished rather than smoky or animalic, cedar adding a dry, woody structure underneath, and musk smoothing the transition into a soft skin-close finish. The scent arc runs from bright and spiced, through powdery and resinous, into a refined, suede-like woody-leather close, a shape built for restraint and polish rather than drama, and the name's reference to leather is well earned by how the base actually reads on skin.
Pepper and mandarin orange fade fastest, typically within the first while, handing over to the violet, styrax and iris heart, which is where the fragrance spends much of its early-to-middle life. The powdery violet and cool iris keep the composition feeling soft even as styrax's resinous warmth starts to build underneath, and this stage tends to last rather than rush through to the base. As the hours pass, leather begins to emerge from beneath the iris, at first still softened by the powdery florals before cedar's dry woodiness firms up the structure, and the interplay between the softening iris and the strengthening leather is where the composition feels most distinctive. By the final stretch, musk has taken over the role the top notes played earlier, pulling everything close to the skin, and what remains is a quiet, refined leather-and-wood finish rather than the brighter opening the fragrance started with - a composition that reveals its structure gradually instead of all at once, and wears closer to the skin as the hours go on.
No gender voting data was supplied for this fragrance, so it is presented as unisex. The citrus-pepper opening and powdery iris heart sit comfortably alongside the leather-cedar base without pulling the composition toward either a strictly masculine or feminine register, and the notes work equally well worn by anyone.
Cuir De Luxury suits anyone who wants a refined take on leather rather than a heavy or smoky one - the powdery violet and iris heart soften the leather-cedar base into something polished and versatile, well suited to cooler weather and evening wear.

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.
