Scent is one of the strongest triggers of memory. The fragrance a groom wears on his wedding day will remind him, his bride and his family of that day for years. In the Gulf, the groom’s scent is usually a layered ritual: bakhoor on the kandura, oud oil on the skin, and a signature perfume on top.
Choosing the scent
- Classic and regal: Sheikh Zayed, with saffron, rose, amber and oud.
- Fresh but elegant: Dubai Sheikh, grapefruit and jasmine over woods and ambergris.
- Something rare: the Gold Collection, such as Dejjor Al Khaleej.
The wedding-day ritual
- Perfume the kandura and ghutra with Mukhalat Malaki bakhoor.
- Apply Golden Oud Oil to wrists and neck.
- Spray your signature perfume on top.
- Carry a mini to refresh before photos.

It does not need to match, but the two should not clash. Many couples choose complementary scents, such as an oud scent for him and a floral-amber scent for her.
