The Good Stuff
Oud selection
Summer Oud, Bombay Oud and other oud fragrances receive repeated praise from oud-focused shoppers.
Long lasting
Several customers describe the fragrances as long-lasting, including one review praising dehn Al oud Saad for lasting more than three days.
Gift appeal
Kawkab was bought as an Eid gift and was nearly finished by Eid Al Adha after the recipient’s family enjoyed it.
Presentation
One collector rated the perfume presentation 10/10, adding that body gels can layer with the fragrance.
Helpful visits
Although service reviews vary, some shoppers describe patient explanations and efficient help finding an out-of-stock perfume.
Tips for a Better Visit
Test first. Ask to test any strong or unfamiliar scent before buying; one collector said he could not properly try a fragrance.
Check longevity. Treat stated wear times as an estimate and test on your own skin; one Bin Ameer buyer expected 6–8 hours but reported one hour.
Inspect bottles. Check the bottle before leaving, since one customer discovered their perfume was empty only after opening it at home.
Compare outlets. There are several Ahmed Al Maghribi outlets close together, so compare availability and service if one branch feels unhelpful.
Buy direct. A reviewer advises using the brand’s own shops rather than unrelated retailers because they reported dupes elsewhere.
Ask promotions. If price matters, ask about current promotions before choosing; customers specifically mention leaving without a discount.

The Bottom Line
Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes is a Deira stop for Arabic-style fragrances, oils, attars, lotions and bukhoor. The clearest draw is its oud-led range: reviewers repeatedly mention Summer Oud and Bombay Oud, while Bin Shaikh, Marj and Oud and Roses also have loyal fans. The brand’s presentation gets praise, and Kawkab was described as a successful Eid gift that the recipient’s family quickly enjoyed.
Product feedback is generally strong but not completely consistent. Several customers call the scents distinctive and long-lasting; one says dehn Al oud Saad lasted more than three days. Others report weaker performance, including a Merge bottle that did not last and Bin Ameer that reportedly lasted one hour despite an expected six to eight.
Test fragrances yourself, especially before buying a gift, and inspect the bottle before leaving after one customer found an empty perfume. The bigger caution is service. Some visitors describe patient, professional assistance, but several others report rude or dismissive staff, poor help when asking to try more scents, and refused discounts—even after an AED 1,800 purchase.
There are multiple outlets close together, so comparing branches may be worthwhile. A customer-reported price range for perfumes was AED 150–350, though this is not a current price list.
