Interest in Arabian and Gulf-inspired perfumery — Rasasi, Lattafa, Afnan and the wider oud-and-amber fragrance world — has grown well beyond the Middle East over the last few years, and a huge chunk of that demand is now coming from across mainland Europe. The catch is that most of it is made in the UAE, which means ordering direct can come with a nasty surprise at the door. Here's what to actually know before you buy, wherever in Europe you're ordering from.

Why Buy From an EU-Based Store Instead of Direct from the UAE

Order a bottle straight from a UAE seller and it usually has to clear customs as it enters the EU — which can mean import VAT, handling fees, and a courier knocking on your door asking for extra money you weren't expecting, on top of a longer, less predictable delivery window. Ordering from an EU-based retailer like Dubai Oud, based in Ireland, sidesteps all of that: goods move within the EU rather than crossing its external border, so there's no import duty or customs surprise, and delivery times are far more consistent.

Where We Ship in Europe

We currently ship across the EU — including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the Baltic and Central European states — as well as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland outside the EU. All prices on the site are in euro, and exact delivery estimates and shipping costs for your country are shown at checkout before you pay.

Best-Selling Arabian Fragrances Across Europe

• Rasasi Hawas For Him — the single most in-demand Gulf-perfume export outside the Middle East, fresh and aquatic-woody.
• Lattafa Khamrah — a spicy-gourmand cinnamon-and-dates scent that's built a genuine cult following well beyond the UAE.
• Lattafa Yara Tous — a tropical floral-gourmand favourite for anyone newer to the category.
• Lattafa Asad Bourbon — warm, boozy-sweet and one of the most-searched Lattafa names in Europe right now.

What to Know Before You Order

• Sizing options. Most fragrances are available in 100ml, plus smaller 10ml and 3ml sizes if you want to try before committing to a full bottle.
• Pricing. Everything is listed in euro, so there's no currency conversion guesswork at checkout.
• Delivery. Exact timelines vary by country — you'll see your specific delivery window and cost at checkout before you complete an order.
• Authenticity. We stock genuine Rasasi, Lattafa and Afnan product sourced directly, not third-party resold stock of uncertain origin.

Shipping to Europe, Answered

Does Dubai Oud ship to Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain?

Yes — along with the rest of the EU, plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.

Will I have to pay customs duty ordering from Ireland?

If you're ordering from within the EU, no — goods move freely within the EU single market with no import duty or customs clearance, unlike ordering directly from a UAE-based seller.

What currency are prices shown in?

Euro (€) across the entire store, regardless of which European country you're ordering from.

Can I order from Norway or Switzerland?

Yes, both are supported, though as non-EU countries your own country's import rules may apply — check your specific delivery and any charges at checkout before completing your order.
