A fragrance revolution is transforming how British men approach personal scent. From London to Manchester, Birmingham to Glasgow, sophisticated UK consumers are discovering Lattafa perfumes – authentic Arabian luxury fragrances that deliver exceptional quality at accessible prices.
For centuries, Middle Eastern perfumery has been synonymous with opulence and uncompromising quality. While European houses focused on light, ephemeral scents, Arabian perfumers mastered creating long-lasting compositions featuring precious ingredients like oud, amber, saffron, and rare spices. Today, Lattafa Perfumes brings this heritage to the British market, offering fragrances that rival £100-300 designer options at just £25-40.
At Oasis Market, we've curated the finest Lattafa selection for UK customers. Whether you're exploring Arabian perfumery for the first time or seeking your next signature scent, this guide will help you discover fragrances that truly resonate with your style.

The British fragrance market has shifted dramatically. Today's sophisticated consumers seek distinctive, meaningful products with genuine heritage rather than mass-market designer colognes. Middle Eastern perfumery, with its 5,000-year history and commitment to premium ingredients, perfectly answers this demand.
The UK's diverse population, including substantial Middle Eastern and South Asian communities, has created a sophisticated consumer base appreciating authentic Arabian scents. British Muslims, Gulf expatriates, and fragrance enthusiasts from all backgrounds are driving demand for quality oud-based fragrances. This cultural intersection has positioned the UK as Europe's fastest-growing market for Arabian perfumery.
Premium Ingredients: Lattafa sources genuine oud from Southeast Asian plantations, real amber accords, Iranian saffron, and carefully selected rose absolutes. This commitment creates depth that synthetic-heavy Western formulations cannot match.
Higher Concentrations: Most Lattafa offerings feature Eau de Parfum (15-20% fragrance oils) versus Eau de Toilette (5-15%) common in high-street brands. For UK consumers, this means:
Cultural Authenticity: Arabian perfumery carries knowledge passed through generations. Understanding how oud interacts with rose, how saffron enhances amber – this isn't learned from textbooks but cultural heritage encoded in every Lattafa fragrance.
A 100ml Lattafa Eau de Parfum costs £20-45 at Oasis Market – a fraction of comparable Western designers (£60-100+) and significantly less than niche houses charging £150-300. This pricing stems from Dubai's proximity to ingredient sources, direct distribution eliminating department store margins, and cultural approaches to luxury pricing.
For British enthusiasts, this means building comprehensive collections with 5-6 premium Lattafa fragrances for the price of 1-2 Western designer bottles.
Khamrah has achieved cult status among British fragrance enthusiasts. This unisex masterpiece captivates with its intoxicating blend of warm spices, indulgent sweetness, and sophisticated woody notes.

Oasis Market guarantees 100% authentic Lattafa:
Arabian perfumery dates back 5,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. Islamic golden ages saw Muslim scientists pioneer distillation techniques and document hundreds of formulations. Today, Dubai houses like Lattafa combine traditional knowledge with modern production, quality control, and global distribution.
For Britain's 3+ million Muslims, authentic Arabian perfumes provide cultural connection. Wearing proper oud for Eid, having quality fragrances for weddings, and maintaining traditional preferences help preserve cultural identity while participating fully in British society.
Oud holds special significance beyond fragrance:
For British Muslims and Middle Eastern communities, Lattafa's oud fragrances provide authentic connection to these traditions at accessible prices.
Arabian perfumery's UK popularity stems from:
