Custom perfumes can be recreated or formulated around your preferred scent profile.
The collection covers numerous fragrances, including inspired perfumes and perfume oils.
Some orders are freshly batched in the store, giving customers a chance to see the preparation process.
There is an in-store café for coffee while you browse or wait.
One review notes that the branch is accessible and has plenty of parking.
Customers describe the inspired fragrances as affordable, with some saying the projection is good for the price.
Reset your nose. Smell the test strips outside the shop before deciding; one review says the difference is noticeable after leaving the scented interior.
Bring notes. If you want a custom scent, bring the exact notes or scent profile you are trying to recreate.
Allow time. Ask about the recreation timeline before leaving a bottle, especially if you are visiting Dubai briefly.
Check café charges. Confirm the café price before ordering: one visitor was charged 25 AED for coffee after assuming it was complimentary.
Try alternatives. If a favourite is sold out, ask for recommendations; a customer found suitable alternatives this way.

Coffee
“*correction: the Coffee was not free, charged me 25 AED! 😄 I thought it's a welcome drink”Google review · November 2025
The Bottom Line
Yusuf Bhai in Jumeirah is geared towards people who want more than a quick fragrance purchase. You can browse a large collection of perfumes and oils, test inspired scents, or discuss a custom perfume based on your preferences. Customers have also bought named fragrances such as Tears of Poppy, Magical Flow and Cuir Couture, while some orders are freshly batched in the shop.
The service is a major part of the experience. Reviews repeatedly describe patient, knowledgeable consultations, with staff taking time to explain fragrance notes and help shoppers narrow down choices without rushing. The boutique is described as comfortable, clean and well organised, and there is a café inside for coffee or a light bite while you browse or wait.
One reviewer also noted plenty of parking and easy access. There are a couple of practical cautions. Longevity feedback is mixed: several customers praise lasting scents, but one reported that five perfumes faded within one to two hours.
Custom recreation may also require waiting, and an old or expired sample may not be reproducible, so clarify the process and timing first. Coffee is not necessarily complimentary; one customer was charged 25 AED.
