Ahmed Al Maghribi, perfumed in Ajman since 2000
Ahmed Al Maghribi was founded in 2000 by Kafeel Ahmed, who began in the United Arab Emirates with a small factory at home and a single shop.
Its perfumes are made at its own plant in the Jurf Industrial Zone in Ajman, which is also its head office. The house says it pairs traditional Arabic perfumery with raw materials bought around the world, and that its products are made by hand. The range runs from oriental perfumes to bakhoor and oud oils, and it lists more than 190 branches across the Gulf.
Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes has many shops of its own in Dubai. Its store list includes Dubai Hills Mall, Mirdif City Centre, Al Ghazal Mall, the Arabian Center in Al Mizhar and Murshid Bazaar in Deira. A 60 ml bottle of Oud & Roses costs AED 175 on its UAE site. Try Oud & Roses first: it sets Turkish rose, lavender and peony over sandalwood, frankincense and an oud accord.
- Oud & RosesA modern take on oud and rose, with Turkish rose and peony over frankincense and guaiac wood.
- ZumarA rich oriental scent drawn from Arabian perfume craft, moving from saffron and pear through rose and gardenia to cacao and oud.
- Bin ShaikhA formal Arabic signature scent, with lavender and saffron on top, bakhoor incense in the heart and smoky agarwood below.
- MarjA spicy, woody scent inspired by the elegance of the Middle East, with honey, cinnamon, leather and oud.
