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.

Apricot, pear and cinnamon open warm and spiced, deepening into a dense jasmine, frangipani and orange blossom heart lifted by coconut and coffee, before settling on vanilla, amber and sandalwood. Rasasi Hawas Reina is a layered, gourmand-leaning floral built for anyone who wants richness without straightforward sweetness.
Rasasi Hawas Reina opens on apricot, pear and cinnamon, a fruity top warmed immediately by the spice, so the sweetness never reads as purely fruity or purely gourmand from the first moment. The heart is built around jasmine, frangipani and orange blossom, three white florals stacked together for a rich, heady floral core, with coconut adding a creamy roundness and coffee cutting through with a bitter, roasted edge that stops the florals from becoming too sweet on their own. The base carries vanilla, white musk, amber, sandalwood and sugar, a warm, ambered, softly sweet finish that leans gourmand without tipping into candy-like territory, thanks to the sandalwood's dry, woody undertone and the coffee's bitterness still echoing from the heart. Taken together it is a layered fruity-floral-gourmand composition, spiced at the top, floral and slightly bitter through the middle, and warm, sweet and woody at the base. The combination of coconut and coffee in the heart is the composition's most distinctive move — most white floral fragrances stay purely floral through the middle, but here the roasted, slightly bitter coffee note keeps reasserting itself against the jasmine and frangipani, giving the whole thing a more complex, less straightforwardly sweet character than the note list alone might suggest.
The opening is fruity and spiced, apricot and pear arriving first with cinnamon giving them warmth rather than sharpness. As the top notes settle, the white floral heart takes over — jasmine, frangipani and orange blossom build together into a dense, heady bouquet, while coconut smooths their edges and coffee introduces a darker, roasted contrast that keeps the florals from reading as one-dimensionally sweet. Through the middle stretch that floral-coffee interplay is the most distinctive part of the composition, unusual enough to stand out from a straightforward white floral. In the later hours the base takes over: vanilla, sugar and amber bring the sweetness back, sandalwood adds dry woody structure, and white musk ties the whole composition to the skin for a soft, warm, lingering finish. The arc moves from bright and spiced, through rich and floral, to warm and ambered, with the coffee note acting almost like a seam that runs from the heart into the base, never fully disappearing even as the vanilla and sugar take over the foreground.
No vote data was supplied for this fragrance, so gender is set from the general profile: Fragrantica lists it as suited to both women and men, and the notes themselves — a fruity-spiced top, a dense white floral heart and a sweet, ambered musk base — don't lean sharply toward either. It is classified as unisex on that basis, wearable by anyone drawn to a rich, warm, gourmand-leaning floral.
Rasasi Hawas Reina suits anyone who enjoys a rich, layered gourmand-floral — the apricot and cinnamon opening gives way to a dense white floral heart with an unusual coffee twist, before settling into a warm, ambered, sandalwood-backed base that carries well into 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.
