An evening perfume needs a warm base that lasts for hours and comes alive at night. For women, Anfas Al Khaleej offers Viva Oriantal, Rouge Flowers and Bloom; for men, Single Shadow, Anfas Safary and Aurora. For weddings and big occasions, add a drop of oud oil underneath so it lasts until the end of the night.
What makes an evening perfume different?
The scent you wear to the office in the morning isn’t necessarily right for a dinner or a wedding. In the evening everything changes: the air is cooler, people stand closer, and the occasion itself is more festive. So an evening perfume is usually:
- Richer: with warm notes like vanilla, amber, leather, spice and white flowers.
- Longer-lasting: staying from the start of the night to the end without constant reapplying.
- More present: leaving a trail as you pass, without filling the room.
Evening perfumes for women
Viva Oriantal
Viva Oriantal by Antonio Dmetri opens with peach, red berries, saffron and caramel; the heart is labdanum, cypriol, nagarmotha, pink pepper, ginger and woods; the base is benzoin, musk, patchouli, Peru balsam and vanilla. An oriental, AED 370.
An evening scent through and through: sweet, warm and resinous, and more beautiful as the night goes on.
Rouge Flowers
Rouge Flowers opens with tuberose, clary sage and pink pepper; the heart is orange blossom, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, cashmeran and benzoin; the base is amber and tuberose. A floral, AED 370.
White flowers are among the most present scents in perfumery, so this suits weddings and parties where you want to be noticed.
Bloom
Bloom opens with green notes, floral notes and ginger; the heart is tuberose, jasmine sambac, mimosa, rose, lily of the valley and sandalwood; the base is musk, amber, Peru balsam and benzoin. AED 370. A lush bouquet for engagements and milkah celebrations.

Aurora
Aurora opens with pink pepper, hazelnut and rum, has chocolate, a milky accord, incense and licorice at its heart, and settles on vanilla and osmanthus. AED 370. For those who like their evenings sweet and warm.
Perfume for big occasions: weddings and celebrations
At weddings and big family gatherings, perfume faces a particular challenge: long hours, crowded halls and bakhoor everywhere. You need a scent that lasts and stands out through all of it:
- Choose something rich: Rouge Flowers, Bloom or Viva Oriantal, or Dejjor Al Khaleej for rose-and-oud lovers.
- Layer with oil: a drop of Roze Oud Oil or White Musk Oud Oil underneath extends wear.
- Scent the dress or abaya: bakhoor on fabric lasts until the end of the night.
- Carry a mini: to refresh before the zaffa or photos, like Viva Oriantal Mini at AED 135.

How to wear an evening perfume
- Apply half an hour before going out so it settles and the base comes through.
- Three to four sprays on pulse points; don’t overdo it in closed halls.
- A light mist on the hair or sheila leaves a trail as you move.
- Don’t layer your evening scent over the morning one; shower and start fresh.
