Client Background

In this case study, Zayed Ahmed, a 31-year-old based in Dubai, is a finance professional. He was doing regular client meetings, corporate dinners, networking, and social gatherings. Fragrance had become an important element of his personal style and of his professional presentation over the years.

Previously, Zayed bought a few international and Arabic fragrances, but he did not feel that those perfumes had any character and depth to them as an oud perfume. He was fascinated to discover some of the traditional fragrance notes of Arabia, but at the same time, something not be out of place in a modern professional life.

As his interest in perfumery grew, Zayed began researching the top perfume brands in UAE. His search narrowed down when he chose to learn about what he considers to be the best oud perfume in Dubai that he can include in his personal perfumery cabinet.

Challenges

Ahead of Khadlaj Perfumes, Zayed had encountered several hurdles:

  • Difficulty choosing between numerous perfume brands available in the UAE

  •  There is not a great deal of knowledge about the various oud perfume styles

  •  Oud perfumes from before were too powerful to wear all day

  •  The lack of a scent that was suitable for both work and play.The struggle to look for a scent suitable for both work and play.

  •  A desire for a unique perfume as opposed to a “popular” perfume.

  •  Uncertainty over what oud music should be like and to what extent it should fit his personality

Zayed sought the feel of an oud but also one with a modern, elegant twist.

Consultation & Recommendation

In his quest for the best perfume brands in UAE, Zayed stumbled upon Khadlaj Perfumes and started exploring its range of perfumes that were inspired by Arabic and French scents.

Founded in 1997, Khadlaj Perfumes has built its expertise in the field of perfumery on traditional ingredients and contemporary perfumes. It has collections of oud, musk, rose, oriental, woody, and modern fragrance profiles.

The consultation aimed to get to know Zayed's:

  •  Preferred fragrance intensity

  •  Experience of using oud perfumes

  •  Professional lifestyle

  •  Fragrances for the day and night.

  •  A liking for woody and oriental flavors

  •  A balance that is desired between the traditional oud and modern fragrance accords

The team didn't just suggest one oud immediately, but instead suggested that he literally experiment with the various oud compositions and how each profile would fit different events.

Product Selection

Zayed then selected a few perfumes from Khadlaj perfumery, which were based on oud. Zayed looked through the collection and shortlisted some oud-based perfumes at Khadlaj Perfumes.

 Oud Pure

One of the places Zayed visited was Oud Pure, where he looked into the possibilities of having a more traditional oud sound. It was a very detailed description that had caught his interest in traditional Arabian perfumery.

Cashmere Warm Oud

He chose Cashmere Warm Oud for his warmer and more modern take on oud for the evenings.

Oud Pour Klassik

Zayed dabbled in Oud Pour Klassik; however, when it came to formal settings, he appreciated the more subtle woody notes that this offered him.

Oud Pour Noble

He also highly regarded Oud Pour Noble for when he desired an elegant oud perfume for special occasions and social events.

Through this selection process, Zayed learned that the selection of the finest oud perfume in Dubai is a very personal choice. The best perfume is always one that the individual likes, with the fragrance notes they enjoy, for the occasion they are wearing it, and the strength of the perfume he or she would like.

Outcome

The change was more than simply adding new perfumes to his collection.

After discovering Khadlaj's oud fragrances, Zayed experienced:

  • Greater confidence when choosing fragrances for different occasions

  • A better understanding of traditional oud perfumery

  • A distinctive signature fragrance for professional settings

  • Positive compliments from colleagues and friends

  • More confidence when exploring premium Arabic fragrances

  • A personalized fragrance collection for daytime, evening, and formal occasions

Instead of continually purchasing perfumes without knowing what they contain, Zayed started to choose perfumes by their notes, concentration, character, and appropriateness for the occasion.

Customer Feedback
