Perfume Souk

The Perfume Souk in Deira is a sensory paradise for fragrance enthusiasts. Located near the Gold and Spice Souks, this traditional market specializes in Arabian perfumes, essential oils, oud (agarwood), and custom-blended fragrances. The souk features dozens of shops offering everything from traditional Arabian attar (concentrated perfume oils) to modern designer fragrances at competitive prices.

Many shops offer custom perfume-making services where skilled perfumers create unique blends based on your preferences. The traditional Arabian perfumes are alcohol-free, long-lasting, and distinctly different from Western fragrances. Popular items include oud, rose, musk, and amber-based perfumes. Shop owners are passionate about their craft and often provide samples and detailed explanations.
