Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes

What Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes does

Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes is a Dubai-headquartered luxury Arabian fragrance house founded in 2000 by Kafeel Ahmed, specialising in oud-based perfumes, bakhoor (Arabic incense), and alcohol-free concentrated parfum oils (Dehn Al Oud). Its product portfolio spans Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum concentrations, traditional bakhoor and oud ma'attar, and a layered care range including body gels, hair mists, and air fresheners, priced from approximately AED 31.50 for entry-level bakhoor to AED 325 for premium perfume and AED 350 for top-tier oud ma'attar. Manufacturing is grounded in traditional Arabian perfumery techniques blending rare ouds (Arian, Hindi dehn al oud, Cambodian oud) with saffron, rose, leather, and incense notes, rather than AI-driven or synthetic fragrance platforms.

The company sells predominantly through a vertically integrated retail and e-commerce model: over 190 company-owned boutiques across the GCC, anchored in major malls in the UAE, Oman (50+ stores), Saudi Arabia (30+ locations including Makkah, Medina, and Riyadh), Bahrain (10+ outlets), Qatar (Doha Festival City, Mall of Qatar, Souq Waqif), and Kuwait, paired with a direct e-commerce storefront serving the UAE, Oman, KSA, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, India, USA, UK, and Canada. As of 2026 the brand's 25th anniversary was marked with multi-country retail expansion and the February 2026 launch of the Dulook Extrait de Parfum timed to Ramadan, followed by a June 2026 partnership with Amazon Beautyverse to enter the Indian market.

Its primary customer base is affluent GCC consumers purchasing for personal use, gifting, and cultural/ceremonial occasions (Ramadan, weddings), with a secondary segment of international Arabian-perfumery enthusiasts reached through global e-commerce and Amazon. Distribution extends to more than 90 countries. The privately held company employs 1,001-5,000 people and discloses no external funding or ownership structure beyond the founder.
