A good perfume should not cost a week's shopping. Designer bottles in Irish department stores often sit well above €100, and many of them fade by lunchtime.
Arabian perfume houses like Lattafa have changed that. These are 10 full-size bottles at €50 or less that perform well above their price, chosen from our best sellers.

Why do Arabian perfumes last so long?
Most of these use heavier base notes such as amber, musk, vanilla, tonka and woods. These molecules evaporate slowly, so the scent stays on your skin and clothes for hours. Irish weather helps too: cool, damp air lets perfume sit on the skin rather than burning off.

Frequently asked questions
Are cheap Arabian perfumes fake?
No, not at Dubai Oud. Lattafa, Al Haramain and Orientica are established UAE perfume houses, and we only sell 100% genuine products. They're affordable because the brands make them in large volumes and spend less on celebrity advertising.
What is the best men's perfume under €50 in Ireland?
Lattafa Asad for bold and warm, or Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited for fresh and versatile.
Can I try before buying a full bottle?
Yes. Nearly every perfume above comes in a 10ml size from €10, or you can test in our Limerick and Cork shops.
