Dubai Exclusives

What is a Dubai exclusive perfume?

A Dubai exclusive is a fragrance that a perfume house releases for its Dubai or UAE boutiques, or builds around the country itself, instead of adding it to its worldwide range. Some stay in those boutiques. Others later reach a few shops abroad, so the label tells you where a bottle was launched rather than promising it is sold nowhere else. The names people search for most are Ex Nihilo's Scarlet Sands, Penhaligon's Halfeti Amber, released as a Dubai Mall exclusive, Clive Christian's Kinam, named after the rarest grade of agarwood, and the seven numbered Xerjoff UAE Exclusives, One to Seven, whose flacons follow the colours of the UAE flag. Le Labo's Cuir 28 is the house's Dubai city exclusive, on the shelf all year in its Dubai labs. Louis Vuitton's Pure Perfumes sit here too: Pur Santal, which the house offers only on its UAE store, and its layering companions Pur Oud and Pur Ambre. Each one here keeps the house's own wording on the label and in its name, so you can check it against the brand.

Which Dubai exclusive should I start with?

Scarlet Sands is the one customers ask for most: raspberry and mandarin over white florals, on a warm amber and vanilla base. For something drier, Halfeti Amber pairs saffron with suede and amber. Our guide to Dubai exclusive perfumes covers five of them in more detail. For the seven numbered Xerjoff bottles, our Xerjoff UAE Exclusive collection guide covers all seven.

Is Scarlet Sands still a Dubai exclusive?

Scarlet Sands launched as a Dubai exclusive for Ex Nihilo. The label tells you where a bottle was launched rather than promising it is sold nowhere else. Parfum Central ships it from Dubai to 130+ countries with insured DHL Express, so you can order it from outside the UAE.

Which currency will I pay in?

Checkout is charged in AED. Other currencies displayed on the storefront are estimates. Your bank or payment provider determines the final conversion and any conversion fees.
