How to Shop Authentic Arabic Perfumes in a Market Full of Dupes
Share
If you’ve ever searched online for Arabic perfumes, you’ve probably come across some too-good-to-be-true deals.
I recently noticed it myself — dozens of websites offering popular Middle Eastern scents at a fraction of the usual price. And while travelling through Malaysia, I even saw perfumes with identical packaging being sold for half of what we sell at House of Haneen.
It made me curious. Were these the same?
So I took a closer look. And let me tell you: they were not authentic.
Dupes Look Real – But That’s Where the Similarity Ends
Fake or counterfeit perfumes are designed to look nearly identical to the originals. Same name. Same bottle. Same box. Sometimes even the same scent at first spray. But that’s where the similarities stop.
Here’s what you’ll notice with counterfeit perfumes:
-
No sillage: The scent doesn’t project or linger in the air.
-
Poor longevity: It fades away in less than an hour.
-
Synthetic or impure ingredients: Many knockoffs use low-quality alcohol and artificial oils that can irritate your skin or smell off after a while.
-
Unstable formulation: The perfume may smell okay at first, but quickly turns sharp, sour, or musky in a bad way.
They might mimic the scent profile, but they’ll never match the purity, performance, or pleasure of a genuine bottle.
How We Guarantee Authenticity at House of Haneen
At House of Haneen, we don’t take shortcuts.
We source our perfumes 100% directly from trusted distributors or the original manufacturers – whether it’s Lattafa, Armaf, Rasasi, Ajmal, Al Haramain, or other reputable Arabic perfume houses.
Here’s how you can tell:
-
Official authenticity stickers: Brands like Lattafa include tamper-proof labels and holograms to prove their origin.
-
Certificates of authenticity: Some Armaf fragrances include documentation inside the box.
-
Batch codes and barcodes: Match with the manufacturer's records.
-
Packaging quality: You’ll feel the difference — thicker cardboard, precise printing, solid bottle weight.
