Swiss Arabian

Swiss Arabian was founded in Dubai in 1974 by Hussein Adam Ali, making it one of the first perfume houses in the United Arab Emirates. The name pairs Swiss precision with Arabian perfumery: the house set out to make traditional oud, rose and amber compositions to a consistent modern standard. Half a century on it is still family-run, with its own factory in Dubai and a range that stretches from classic attars to the Shaghaf Oud line we stock.

Swiss Arabian blends in-house in Dubai and leans on rich, long-wearing materials: oud, honey, amber, tonka and vanilla. The Shaghaf Oud fragrances are built in eau de parfum strength with a deliberately sweet opening that settles into darker woods, so they are made for evenings and cooler months rather than the office.
