Khayal - The Vision and The Emirati Dream

Khayal is the trade name of a 100% foreign owned Emirati company based in Dubai and the first Oriental perfumery with a Mediterranean twist in the world.

Who has ever visited this place without being mesmerized by its beauty, luxury, ultramodern architecture, man-made islands, picturesque beaches, dessert landscapes and lively lifestyle without having the feeling that any wish can be achieved? This is the land where our Khayal story began.

This glamourous city has become one of the most prosperous and attractive cities of the world being the new hotspot for international celebrities. The most fascinating thing about this city is that it is home to more than 200 nationalities that have brought with them their unique style, strengths, and flavors. Almost 90% of its population are citizens of other countries, an astonishing assemblage of expats representing all corners of the world. A geographical intersection among Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, UAE is one of the most culturally diverse places on the planet.

The acceptance of diversity of cultures made everyone believe in the Emirati dream. And so did we…

How Khayal started

After discovering, learning, and falling in love with the Middle Eastern culture, Dubai felt as the new ‘American dream’. A city built through vision and hard work, a place in continuous development and growth. We also had our own vision. We wanted more freedom, more time for ourselves, financial independence and ultimately, we wanted to feel passionate about what we were doing. We decided to take advantage of all opportunities this new land had to offer.

We soon came to discover the local production resources this place had to offer when it comes to perfumery. This is when we partnered up with one of the most prestigious local oriental perfume maker to create and offer a unique product to the world and fragrances to remember. Over 70 years of perfumery history and expertise were applied to our exclusive formulas creation.

We wanted a perfect cultural mix reflected through our perfumes, the strongness of the oriental essential oils combined with the freshness of the Mediterranean scents. Perfumes have a strong impact on our memory and well-being, and we decided to create exclusive fragrances that would instantly take you to that special moment in time or would simply mark your unmatching individuality through day-to-day use.

Our vision shortly translated into proudly launching the first oriental perfumery with a Mediterranean twist in the world.

Did You Know?

  • Contrary to what many people believe, the first perfumes didn’t originate in the western European countries, but in the Middle East.
  • Oriental perfumes are based on natural oil extracts that are highly concentrated (floral, oud, musk). As a result, oriental scents, from Gulf fragrances to Far Eastern territories such as China, India and South Asia, have a longer sillage than the modern western perfumes.
  • Oriental fragrances usually use exotic and unusual notes, including vanilla, cinnamon, orris, jasmine, orchid and orange blossom. For this reason, they often smell beautifully indulgent and luxurious while Mediterranean are mostly flowery and citrus fragrances.
  • Oriental perfumes are the result of a manual multi layering of attars that create a unique blend while western perfumes are mostly focusing on 3 notes, masterfully blended to create floral, fresh, spicy, and sweet fragrances.
  • Safe for the skin and crafted with traditional methods, oriental perfumes contain natural essential oils that may offer some aroma therapeutic benefits such as relaxation mood enhancement.
