How Do Arabs Smell So Good? The Secret of Arabs

Have you ever passed by an Arab gentleman in a crisp thobe or an elegantly dressed lady in an abaya and wondered,
“How do they smell so good—so rich, so luxurious, so lasting?”At Al-Majid Perfumes, we hear this question often from our customers:

“When I went to Saudi and Dubai, I noticed Arabs always smell so good—what perfumes do they use??”

The secret is not just in the perfume—it’s in the love for fragrance and the unique habits of the Middle East.
Let’s uncover these timeless practices that keep Arabs smelling amazing all day.

1. Fragrance Is a Daily Ritual

In Arab culture, fragrance is more than a finishing touch—it’s part of everyday grooming and self-care.

While many people in India apply perfume just once in the morning and expect it to last the whole day, Arabs refresh their fragrance several times a day, including:

• After a fresh morning shower
• Before going out for prayers
• Before stepping into the car
• Before meeting friends or hosting guests

👉 Tip: If you want that long-lasting Arabic aroma, apply your fragrance generously and refresh it throughout the day.

2. They Use a Variety of Fragrances

Another key reason Arabs smell so good is that they enjoy using different types of fragrances for different moods and occasions.

They often combine traditional attars, modern spray perfumes, and scented body musks—not in a complicated way, but simply as a daily habit.
This variety creates a rich, memorable aroma that feels truly luxurious.

At Al-Majid Perfumes, we bring this Middle Eastern tradition to you with our Arabic-inspired attars, each with a unique character:

• Jeddah Attar: A sophisticated Arabic blend with warm woody and spicy notes, reminiscent of the bustling streets of Jeddah.
• Bin Shaikh UAE Attar: A rich Oriental scent blending saffron, rose, and citrus with sweet bakhoor, jasmine, and a deep oud-amber musk base—luxurious and unisex.
• Bakhur Al-Oud Attar: Inspired by the rich aroma of traditional bakhoor smoke, this attar gives a deep, woody-oud warmth—perfect for special occasions.
• Mukhallat Oud Attar: A timeless Middle Eastern mix of oud, amber, and rose—deep and luxurious, loved by both men and women.
• Ameer Al Oudh Attar: A powerful amber-woody scent with sweet sugar, warm labdanum, rich woods, and Ambroxan—intense, long-lasting, and unisex.
• Musk Tahara Gold (Thick Body Musk): A creamy, smooth musk widely loved in the Middle East for its clean yet opulent scent.
• Caramel Oud Attar: A sweet, elegant oud with a caramel twist—ideal for women who love a softer, gourmand Arabic aroma.

These attars are crafted to capture the soul of Arabian perfumery—rich, long-lasting, and unforgettable.

3. Arabs Wear Both Attars and Sprays

A common misconception is that Arabs use only oil-based perfumes.
In reality, they love both attars and modern spray perfumes.

They wear an oriental woody attar like our Mukhallat Oud on special occasions and a fresh aromatic spray perfume like our Hawass Ice for daily outings—simply because they enjoy variety.

👉 Tip: Don’t limit yourself to one type of fragrance. Experiment with different attars and sprays to find your signature Arabic-inspired scent.

4. The Power of Frequent Application

Perhaps the most important difference is how often Arabs reapply fragrance.
They don’t expect a single spray or drop of attar to last all day. Instead, they keep an attar bottle in their car or pocket and refresh their scent before prayers, while shopping, or when meeting people.

👉 Tip: Keep a pocket-sized attar with you to refresh your fragrance throughout the day.

5. A Fragrance-Loving Culture

Fragrance is more than just a product in Arab countries—it’s a tradition, a sign of respect, and a way to make every moment special.
Their generous use of perfume is what makes the scent so noticeable and unforgettable.
