Dukhan by Oqba Perfumes is one of our best-selling fragrances in Qatar. Unique and original, it stands apart from other Arabian perfumes because it balances two worlds: the mystery of smoke and the clarity of freshness.
From the first spray, Dukhan surrounds you with a clean, soapy brightness before unfolding into smoky woods and warm oud. It is a fragrance that feels powerful yet wearable, rooted in heritage yet crafted for modern life in Doha.
The Notes of Dukhan
- Top: Orange, Aldehydic
- Heart: Violet, Jasmine, Tobacco, Ylang
- Base: Oud, Candy Floss, Patchouli, Woody accords
This combination creates a rare experience.
Citrus and aldehydes open with an airy, soapy sparkle. Tobacco and jasmine add depth, while oud and patchouli deliver a smoky finish softened by a subtle sweetness of candy floss.
The Experience
Dukhan begins fresh and clean, like stepping out of the shower into the Gulf morning air. As it develops, the tobacco and florals create intrigue, a smoky veil that feels both sensual and refined.
The base leaves a lasting impression of oud and woods, grounding the fragrance in strength and tradition. This smoky-soapy duality makes Dukhan ideal for both everyday wear and special gatherings, whether at a majlis or along Doha’s Corniche.
Inspiration Behind Dukhan
In Arabic, “Dukhan” means “smoke.” The name is no accident. It reflects both the rising smoke of incense that has defined Arabian homes for centuries and the rugged energy of Qatar’s western town of Dukhan, known for its oil fields and enduring strength. Oqba Perfumes created this fragrance to capture that dual inspiration: the mystery of smoke and the refreshment of purity.
Similar Scent Profiles
While Dukhan is an original Oqba creation, fragrance enthusiasts may recognize familiar echoes. Its smoky and woody accords recall niche incense perfumes such as Regime des Fleurs Oud Dukhan, while its clean yet powerful balance connects to other tobacco-oud blends popular in Arabian perfumery. Still, Dukhan is not an imitation, its soapy top and sweet undertone make it distinctly Oqba, designed for the Gulf’s climate and lifestyle.
