My Story
A Love Letter to Arabian Perfumery
How falling in love with Middle Eastern fragrances in Dubai led me to share this extraordinary world with you
Chapter One
The First Breath
I still remember the exact moment, the first time I experienced authentic Arabian perfumery. A scent so intoxicating, so utterly different from anything I'd ever experienced before, it stopped me in my tracks.
It wasn't just perfume. It was layers upon layers of oud, rose, amber, and spices I couldn't even name. It was sensual and sophisticated, ancient yet timeless. That single encounter opened my eyes to a completely different world of fragrance, one where perfumes tell stories, where scents carry tradition, and where every bottle holds artistry that has been perfected over centuries.
What followed was a deep dive into the art of Arabian perfumery that would change my life forever. I learned about the master perfumers of Dubai, the ancient distillation methods, and the cultural significance behind each blend. I became captivated by the authenticity and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle.
Chapter Two
From Customer to Curator
What started as curiosity turned into passion. I spent months learning everything I could, researching master perfumers from Dubai, studying ingredient sources, understanding the difference between synthetic and authentic oils. I learned about the significance of each note, the cultural stories behind every blend, and what makes these fragrances truly exceptional.
I became that person who couldn't stop talking about perfume. Every gathering, I'd share my discoveries. "You have to experience this," I'd say, watching faces transform as they tried authentic Arabian fragrances for the first time, or discovered how long a quality oud-based perfume actually lasts.
The reactions were always the same: amazement, followed by disappointment. "Where can I buy this?" they'd ask. And I'd have to tell them, you can't, not easily. Not without paying exorbitant markups, or buying dubious imitations online, or literally traveling to Dubai yourself.
That's when the idea clicked. What if I could be the bridge? What if I could bring these authentic, extraordinary fragrances directly from their source to people who would appreciate them, at prices that actually reflected their value, not some luxury markup fantasy?
The Mission
Why I Started Habibi Perfumes
"Habibi" means "beloved" in Arabic. And that's exactly what these fragrances became to me, beloved treasures I wanted to share with the world.
I started Habibi Perfumes because I believe everyone deserves to experience the artistry of authentic Middle Eastern perfumery.
I was tired of seeing beautiful fragrances hidden behind inflated prices and confusing marketing. Tired of watching people settle for watered-down imitations because they didn't know better, or couldn't afford the real thing.
But more than that, I wanted to share the stories. The tradition. The passion that goes into every bottle. When you wear a Habibi perfume, you're not just wearing a scent. You're carrying a piece of culture, a fragment of history, a whisper of Arabian nights.
This isn't just business to me. It's a love letter to the fragrances that changed how I experience the world, and an invitation for you to discover that same magic.

Breaking Barriers
A Bridge Between Worlds
Middle Eastern perfumes can feel intimidating if you're new to them. They're bold, long-lasting, and completely different from the light florals or fresh citrus scents most Western perfumes offer. That unfamiliarity stops so many people from discovering something extraordinary.
My mission is to be your guide across that bridge. To translate the exotic into the accessible. To show you that "oud" isn't scary, it's warm, woody, and utterly captivating. That "amber" isn't heavy, it's sensual and sophisticated.
I want to take away the intimidation factor and replace it with excitement. These fragrances aren't just for special occasions or "perfume connoisseurs." They're for anyone who wants to feel confident, mysterious, unforgettable.
From my journey to yours, let's discover your signature scent together.
