- Here's my Top 10 Cheap/Budget perfumes from the Middle East. These are amazing to have on a budget. I've included Honourable Mentions as well. The list includes Lattafa, Rasasi, Armaf, Afnan, Paris Corner, Arabian Oud and more Middle Eastern scents on a budget. Cheap but good!
I was tagged on a top 10 for life video by Shajeel from Scent On, but thought I'll change it to Top 10 Cheap Middle Eastern fragrances.

Let's see what their Top 10 fragrances are!

@@athelstan5794 Is tf oud wood is same as qaeed?
@@ShivanngN_Eldritch No. I tried TF Oud Wood at Parcos. I too own a 30Ml of Lattafa Qae'ed. In Layman terms or in desi lingo, Lattafa Qae'ed has a hint of Haldi. That earthy spicy kind of mellowed Haldi smell that makes it oriental and spicy. I'm pretty sure it is not actually the smell of Haldi, but the concoction of Cardamom+saffron+cinnamon, gives hint of Turmeric/Haldi. If you are not into some kind of Oriental + Arabic fragrance, then don't fall into the hype. I'm not such ultra omega perfume expert, but I like perfumes of my own preference.
Please consider making a version of this based on your wife's recommendations for your female audience. It would be greatly appreciated.
oud mood lattafa good for women too
Loved it , please keep making these kind of videos so we will also be able to get these hidden gems ❣
Perfect video, was exactly what I was looking for in a fragrance review today. Such a good review. Thank you my friend
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Dude I purchased Maahir by Lattafa and it's absolutely amazing. Well done on your reviews!
Thanks for this video: loved it & it's very useful!
Wonderfully done Nixon, keep up the good work
Excellent reviews brother I have some of those but I'll have to check out a few others!
Great camera skills in Italy , Nice compilation of middle Eastern super stars in affordable category.
Haha, Thanks, Himanshu. You noticed. 😊
Keep up the great work bro...i bought around 6-7 perfumes after watching your videos and liked all of them...i would love it if you could make a video about the top middle eastern clone fragnances
I have been waiting for this top ten list for a long time, to me cdnim is my all time favorite budget fragrance, good job bro and keep making videos like this👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! 😊
Loved the video! Can't wait to try Oud for Greatness... And that's some mad camera skills 😍!
Thanks, man! 😊😊
The Midnight Oud is a little burnt smelling to my nose so far. I will give it some more wear time to see how I feel about it. Thank you for this video 😊
NIXON ROCKS👏👏👏Awesome video.Very true and honest review.
Nice review and its good to hear about these fragrances for people like me who live in USA...and I agree AC is a great reviewer
Love his videos! 😊
I bought Qaa'ed on your recommendation and it is AMAZING! Thank you, I will purchase a few more.
i agree it is amazing! best cologne ive botten i think comparing by price and everything i have rasasi hawas and I have had the Zebra which is aventus clone and this is also a KILLer bought it for my dad he loved it good for office. QAAED seems to be good for cold time or night time and it smells aromatic zingy and fresh and inviting
First time viewer, I enjoyed our video, thanks for posting!
Awesome! Thank you!
hey mate your video gave me a clear picture as your top 10 list almost matches with my wish list.thanks a lot.stay safe
Thanks, Darsha. You too.
😊
Love your reviews! And Middle Eastern fragrances...I'm new at this and a female, and here goes:
1) Sultan Oud Al Rehab
2) Black Horse Al Rehab
3) Musk Oud Al Rehab
4) Golden Al Rehab
5) Balkis (these are all Al Rehab)
6) Aroosah
7) Arabisque
8) Dalal
9) White Musk
10) Africana/Dehn Al Oud
Are you biologically a female or do you just identify as a female?
Awesome ranking, Nixon! Nakahat al oud is also my favourite from Lattafa. It smells so high quality for such a low price.
I have to say I prefer Ajmal Evoke for him instead of Evoke Gold. More unique, more projection and longevity. Beautifiul fragrance... one of my favourites for summer.
But my number 1 is still Shuhrah since the first time I smelled it 3 years ago.
Arabian houses are the best in terms of quality vs price!
Best regards :)
Absolutely. I'd put Shuhrah higher if only I'd get to wear it a little more. I did once stink up an entire Tram with it! It was -5 degrees, the tram was stuffy, and everyone knew it came from me. 😊
@@smellycatreviews I take that as a good thing lol
I think you just to have to get used to it. It's powerful as f*ck but a very pleasent scent after all. My girlfriend loves it!
Long awaited very informative video as always.
Thanks! 😊
Great video mate..always appreciate ur lists..
I enjoy ur lists quite a lot. You could also have lists with popular perfumes in the future ,may get u more views and subs..you definitely deserve more subs..
Planning to. But a lot of people talk about them. I'd like to share my thoughts on them too soon. 😊
Just subscribed, not only because mentioned joy amin hahaha but because the content was actually really good.
Nixon bro.... Great top 15 , it's amazing to see the OUD OF GLORY at the Top of your list, specially upon RASSASI shuhra and Hawas..... Wow... 👍
Thanks, Ali! 😊
Oh boy..so glad I just found your channel! Fabulous content. Off to binge watch your other content. :)
Thanks, Jo! 😊😊
@@smellycatreviews Thank you! :)
Just found your channel by chance & I love it … amazing reviews. Hawas is my fav.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you men you gave me the reason why are Middel East fragrances the best fragrances in the world!
Thanks Smelly Cat for bringing Ajmal to the list. Cant wait to try the top two ince they are available in India!
😊
Thanks brother, ur Way of describes the perfumes. I really love ur collection, thank you very much mate
Glad you like them! 😊
Fantastic video and so helpful - thank you!😊
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Yo Smelly! Another hit. So......your number 10 is a 10 in my books. Currently one my favorite cold weather scent next to Lhomme Ideal edp, This is Him and Chopard Oud Malaki. It smells expensive,it's mind-blowing how affordable it's is, Great stuff SMELLY!!👍😃
Absolutely! 😊
Bro plz recommend the best clone of oud malaki chopard
Your reviews and presentations skills are improving , keeping it us
Haha. Thanks! 😊
Omg ...I love your reviews ...just discovering middleeadtern perfume ... absolutely stunning ...
Midnight Oud is a fantastic perfume. Last long and is sweeter than Amouage , Interlude. 👏
your opinion and review of fragrances are on point.
Awesome presentation Bro. Lots of information on ME fragrances. Many thanks 😊😊😊
Glad you liked it 😊
Not exactly sure but the Lattafa Qaa'ed not only looks like Icon Absolute but more appropriately it also looks like Arabian Oud's Amiri. Funny thing to me is it smells quite close to Amiri as well. The Arabian Oud retains a sharp fizzy middle where Qaa'ed finishes a bit more woody /smoky? It's great for the money!
What are the links to these so I can make purchases? you have me wanting to buy 4 of them right now!... especially killer Oud and Oud for greatness.... I'm looking to order ASAP as I already have rasasi hawas and it is everything you say it is! A compliment Beast!... I look forward to many more of your videos as I have just subscribed!
Thanks, Kenny. You'll have to find them based on your region. Arabian Oud have stores almost everywhere, and also ship worldwide I believe, the others like Paris Corner you'll need to find a good reseller. :)
Finally the wait is over 🤣🤣. Slept early yesterday and watched this video just now.. Afterall it was worth to wait and you killed it man.. Other reviewers just describe the notes and talk about the similarity with other niche perfume and it feels like i am seating in classroom where history subject is being taught but in your video it seems that you are enjoying while describing it and thats what connects you with people.. I am not getting oud for glory anywhere in India,and by the time it comes in India it gets reformulated, better you suggest some genuine buyer in India or ship one for me 🤪🤪🤪..
This video is gonna be huge hit and let the people know more about your fragrance love.. More power to you bro...
Thanks, Anurag 😊😊😊
Wish I could upload it faster, man... and do much more videos. But I'm trying as soon as I have the time. Believe me, this video was going to be much much much longer. I had to edit so much because I was just going on and on about my experiences and how they make me feel. 😊
Great review. Have you tried abraaj valour? I'm torn between buying killer oud or valour.
Being based in Dubai, we are actually quite lucky to try out these hidden gems for such a low price. Have a small collection of 30 odd perfumes but got to discover lot more on your channel. Time to visit perfume souq :)
Absolutely! We need to make the best of it! haha.
😅I'm so jealous of you guys
Hey great video😁. Lowe your presentation style and offcourse the perfumes on your list are too good. Already have a few of them in my collection.
Also a small question from my side can you share any substitute for MFKs Oud Satin Mood and oud silk mood if you know any here in Dubai. It would be also good if you make a video on substitutes of famous MFKs
Great video once again😃
thanks, Rohit.
none off the top of my head. Will check and see if I get any. 😊
Interesting list my friend I'll give oud for glory a try!
I would love to hear your updated top middle eastern fragrances. Im new to middle eastern but I'm loving so much not sure if I will go back to designer or niche.
Thanks for this video need to try some of them mentioned in the video quite different from other channels I would say.....
Glad you like them! 😊
I’m guessing this won’t have a part 2 😂
Nice one bro!!! Can’t stop watching your videos ❤️
Don't stop! Haha.
Your narrating skill is astounding bro....love u
Thank you so much 😀
I'm surprised no fragrance word made this list...Nice video all the same 🔥🔥🔥
It was a tough list to make 😊
Yo SMELLY!!So I got my Nakahat yesterday and man oh man.I really do appreciate everything that has been made available to us,but it's time's like these that I just overflow with gratitude for what the middle eastern houses and reviews like your self has done/is doing for us.This is a HOME RUN!!!!👏🤝🕺🏾keep it up bro.
Enjoy it, Jermaine! The whole point of my channel is to make people feel like this. 😊😊
@@smellycatreviews 👍
Epic awesome list ........Thank you for sharing .
Thanks for watching! 😊
Awesome review and thank you.. I own a few of the fragrances you mentioned and after watching your review I will be purchasing the rest of the fragrances you mentioned.. lol 🤔🤗🤗.. (from Ct. USA)👌
Thanks, Celestino! 😊
good honest reviews bro! (y)
Looking forward to the next video!
Just got tied up. Soon, I promise. 😊
Good to see u brother,keep growing
Thank you! 😊
Great video, Nixon! You have a great collection and a massive analysis of every note. Also wow how did u take that amazing video of Venice? Which mobile is this? It's extremely stable video...did u use a Gimbal?
Haha. Yes, did use a gimbal and my Note 9. 😊
@@smellycatreviews Brilliant Video as well as Reviews...your reviews are exceptionally clear in terms of note breakdown and stability.
Hey SmellyCat! Just found your channel by RUclips recommendation. I’ve been researching Arabian fragrances lately so I think that’s why your channel was recommended. So far I have loved the couple of videos I’ve watched. I am definitely going to pick up Oud For Glory and that Killer Oud scent. I was wondering if you might recommend me a Rose Oud from a company you like? I live in the US and don’t get a chance to smell many Arabian Perfumes so I would be blind buying all based on recommendation! That you in advance!
Love your review. I used french and italian perfumes only. Now i recentoy discovered dehn al oud mubarak by swiss arabian and it changed my mind. Now i want to discover arabian houses. As i m tired of paying heavy bucks.
Hi Nixon,
I never tried Middle eastern fragrances and oud, should I blind buy oud for glory or nakhat Al oud? And its already been a year do u suggest me anything else in budget
Great stuff mate
Thanks, Ash! 😊
Superb list brother, enjoyed d video 👌👌
Thanks, Umair! 😊
Great video learned a lot keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi there love all ur reviews thank you....just a quick question...is rouat al oud a aftershave scent some reviewers says it's masculine....do u think its unisex..? I am a female :))
Hi there.. love this review! Oud for glory my no one fragrance too...so u think I will love Nakahat Al Oud? I like patchouli as well..thanks
Hey really nice video. I'm from Rome and i really enjoyed your story 😂
Btw good list. I will buy something for sure
Thanks, Federico. Glad you liked it. I would love to visit Rome once again. My wife and I absolutely loved the city. We're Roman Catholics, so the historic and religious sites were a hit with us! 😊
@@smellycatreviews i saw you visited Pantheon. Wonderful place.
If u will come to Rome again tell me. We will visit some perfumery
What do you think of Rouat Al Oud by Lataffa, too budget or cheap in your opinion? I found it cheap on Amazon.
I would like to know your wifes favorite fragrances, I already bought Rasasi Mohraf, because she liked it and I do too.
Finally a guy who mentions a perfume that smells like Polo Supreme oud! I've been looking for a clone for ages. I can actually get one, but becuase of the lockdown everythings been closed and ive been craving ths scent for so long, I know on fragrantica people have compared DUnhill Icon Absolute to Supreme oud, and this is a clone of Dunhill. If you don't mind brother, could you confirm how close this smells to supreme oud? I already own TF OUD WOOD so not fussed about having it smell like that.
Thanks.
Hi, Samar. if you're looking for a Polo Supreme Oud clone, you won't get it with this one. This one is much more similar to Dunhill Icon Absolute. Somewhere in the mids and drydown the spicy-woody combo reminds me of Polo Supreme, like a mix of pepper and woods. But very vaguely. This one seems a lot flatter than Supreme Oud for sure, like it lacks some sort of structure or complexity. But with so many whiffs you will be reminded of it. Not if you put your nose directly onto it though. 😊
Smelly Cat no problem mate. I appreciate your reply, and also been checking out your videos recently, quite nice work you’re doing. I ordered it anyways, I wanted it since joy amin reviewed it a while ago and since you mentioned it’s a bit similar to Supreme Oud, thought what’s the harm. Thanks!
Now I have Kalemat and Oud for Glory in my cart🤦🏻♀️ Can’t make it through a video without getting the temptation to blind buy haha
Haha. Don't buy Oud for Glory online! I believe it is AED65. But if you head to AAZ in Naif, you'll get it for 30. Let me know when you're going, I'll join you! 😊
@@smellycatreviews Ahhh I wish I could go explore! But being a student without a car in the pandemic has limited my outside time :(( Samawa may be my best bet after all. (PS: I acquired Kalemat, super exciting addition to my new but growing collection!)
@@smellycatreviews Thanks for the video. What does AAZ stand for?
@@sm6393 its a brand "Ard Al Zaafran"
@@estherpark3011 what do you feel about the kalemat ?
Nice channel bro! i like a lot your videos!
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
(1) Rasasi Shuhrah - I'm loving it. Haven't smelled anything like it.
(2) Nabeel Ya Ghali - Amazing gourmand fragrance (Vanilla for days)
(3) Ramz Al Rasasi 9453 (The Leopard One) - Sweet & Cumin
(4) Rasasi Nafaes Al Shaghaf - I don't usually like aquatic scents like Nautica Voyage, but this one has a nice touch of fruitiness
(5) Ajmal Qafiya 01 - Not really a budget fragrance, but it has a lovely mixture of amber and saffron. I think it is a polarizing fragrance so don't blind buy it.
Nice!
I have all of them except Ya Ghali, and you're spot on! 😊
Just an observation
If you see “exotic scents” or “smells good” videos they are making scent videos for years now and your first video was released just 6 months ago, However the number of views on few of your videos are way above what they have.
No doubt you are doing greater justice and putting good hard work
Thank You so much Hanit. I don't even have that many subscribers. Haha. But the views are not bad. I'm really happy with them and the love I'm getting. Hope the hardwork and honesty shows. 😊
Another great review brother. I've a doubt, how your Ajmal Gold looks blue?
Haha. That's the bad lighting. It's actually gold. 😊
I love this guy! why have I just found him now
Haha. Thanks! Better late than never! 😊
@@smellycatreviews I'm from India which one I will pick sir. Because first time going to purchase
So excited just got lattafa badee oud!
Smelly Cat - I have a tip for you to make your videos better. My tip is to write the names of the perfumes you are reviewing in the description of the video. Like that viewers can easily see the perfumes being reviewed and also how to spell them. I love it when reviewers take the time to write the names of the perfumes in the video description. It's something that makes reviewers look more professional and considerate. Thanks.
Great idea! Thank You! 😊
I agree, there are many types of killer oud. Trying to figure out which is the blue bottle
Great video brother ..big fan of you.Can you please review some of Mriduls fragrances .
Hey, Jana. Just found out about them. Not sure if they're available here in the UAE.
Great video! Is Ajmal gold more manly than Prada?
I don't have lots of Arabian cheapies, but some that I enjoy: Lattafa Oud Mood, Armaf Shades Wood, Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense, and Al Rehab Sultan Al Oud, Superman, Dakkar and Al Sharquiah.
😊
Nice list.
Shades Wood and Raghba Wood Intense i have too, absolutely lovely scents. And for the price it just unbelievable quality.
@@smellycatreviews Nice channel. 😊
Best presentation Bro thanks from South Africa
Awesome vids great energy
Hi!
In love perfumes like Gucci Mobile or Givenchy Incense. Classic male smell. I don t like sweet!
What can you suggest??
Thank you!
Hi mate Great list 😊first time on your channel, 👍Prada lomme is allways one the top of my summerfragrances list on my channel. I have never heard about that Clone before now 😀Are your saying that Ajmal evoke Gold performes better than prada lomme?
Prada L'Homme's great! Safe in so many ways and so pleasant. Yup, Evoke Gold gives me better performance, because it is a little louder. 😊
👍Cant wait to test it 👍
This is so helpful 👌
Glad you liked it, brother. 😊
Oud for glory mostly 80 Dhm now a days .. do you know any place where I can buy it for cheaper
what is the best place to buy affordable middle eastern fragrances? I'm in the us any help would be appreciated
Great video…could you please let me know how’s the sillage and projection of evoke gold for her?
Hi there, Just getting into Arabian perfumes. Your channel is a perfect way to learn more about them. Thanks for making the videos. Just a question as I live in The Netherlands. Do you know how I could get my hands on some of these frags? Thanks
Thanks! Wish I could suggest a reseller. No one that I can vouch, but I'm sure a quick search will throw something up. 😊
Hey mate, waiting on the full review of Lattafa OFG? Do you plan to do it sometime soon? Thanks
How about this week? I've got so many request. Let's do it! As soon as I find the time this week. Promise!
What is good oud from this list for beginners? I love Oud for Glory. Already have that
Can you tell me what middle eastern scents are for fall/winter & spring/summer??
Would you recommend Hawas or Hawas Ice in terms of Projection and Sillage?
Just because you said
"Wait till the end to click the 'Like' button'
It was reason enough to push it immediately :D
Haha. Mind games! 😊
Hey man, nice vid. Do u know a clone to dark rebel by john varvaros? I love the dirty smokey leather with rum scent but it doesnt last. Are there any cheap clones?
Hey, Raul. None that I know of. 😊
Which is more like Baccarat 540..Rasasi Qasamat Bareeq or Lattafa Rouge? Thank you :)
Урааа! Наконец-то обзор на арабскую парфюмерию😊
Спасибо 😊
Дина, а ваши любимые парфюмы Восточные?
@@troecurov3 Lattafa - Asal al teeb, Swiss arabian - Zahra, Nawal vaporisateur не знаю производитель кто, но они женские, а из унисекс Lattafa sheikh al shuyukh и sheikh al shuyukh luxe edition☺️
I've been sitting on the fence for nakahat Oud as I'm not big fan of patchouli, but when you draw similarity to jubilation 25 then I'm interested to give a shot..your thoughts?? If it's strong patchouli or mild one??
It's a strong strong Patchouli. The similarity to Jubilation XXV is only in the pathchouli and incense side of the scent. It lacks the jaminess and even the gourmand nature of Jubilation. So, if you're looking for that, you won't find it. 😊
@@smellycatreviews thanks a lot.. precisely what I was curious about..
Hello from Indonesia... really love watch all your video. Your review way amazing ... please can you make a review about women middle eastern fragrances too ...
Sure. I should start doing that as well. 😊
Superb, your videos are a joy to watch and now I'm interested in the middle east brands.
Keep it up :)
Thanks You 😊
Dang it. I had ordered Nakahat last month but they delivered Amwaaj Al Oud (no return policy) ☹️. Great list by the way. Glad to see you back on your feet (quite literally).
My favourite middle eastern frags for now are Najdia and Oud Mood.❤️
Thanks, Robin. 😊
Those two are great as well. This was a tough list to make. I want to pick up Amwaaj Al Oud too. Heard mixed reviews. How are you liking it?
@@smellycatreviews Its ok, I guess. Soft oud, soft woody base. Average performance. I was suprised on its average longevity considering it was from Lattafa.
I would choose Oud Mood over Amwaaj any day.
Was split between AAZ Midnight Oud & Qaa'ed. Pulled the trigger and ordered Qaa'ed after watching your video. I really want to experience Interlude man through midnight oud, but after watching countless reviews, decided not to do so because of its limited versatility.
Hope Qaa'ed has better performance than Amwaaj.
