From oud to amber, these Arabian Perfumes rival high-end brands without the hefty price tag. We’ve rounded up 5 must-try Arabian perfumes that deliver long-lasting luxury without breaking the bank!

Arabian perfumes have been having a major moment in 2024. Not only have they become famous for producing luxurious dupes of popular designer and niche brands, but they’re also known for their intense, long-lasting fragrances at affordable prices.

As a fragrance lover myself, I have curated a list of seven affordable Arabian fragrances that don’t break the bank. The fragrances on this list are easy to find, smell amazing, and last for hours—tried, tested, and loved!

1. Khamrah by Lattafa

Imagine walking into a luxurious hotel lobby in a hustle and bustle metropolitan city—that’s what Khamrah smells like. This unisex oriental fragrance contains a rich blend of sweet and spicy notes like cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, praline, and vanilla, with warm notes of tonka bean and myrrh. Many perfume enthusiasts say it reminds them of cinnamon apple pie or even a boozy holiday drink, but to me, it smells like a sweet gingerbread cookie.

Something about it gives huge Christmas vibes, making it perfect for the festive season (not to say you can’t wear it all year round). Plus, it lasts a solid 8 hours, making it a perfect choice for work or formal occasions. Price: UGX 180,000/=. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS

2. Berries Weekend Pink Edition by Fragrance World

If the idea of smelling like candied fruit sounds like your jam, Berries Weekend is the fragrance for you. This sweet, fruity floral perfume is a hit with women who love fresh, fruity, and sweet scents. With juicy notes of tangerine, iris, and nectarine, this fragrance feels like having a picnic or walking through a garden of blooming flowers and ripe fruits. Ideal for date nights, it’s light but long-lasting.

Additionally, I often find myself going nose-blind to it, but the compliments I get from people around me prove that this fruity fragrance is still doing its things. A crowd favourite for sure. Price: UGX100,000. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

3. Yara Pink by Lattafa [Original]

Do you live for sweet vanilla fragrances? Then Yara is the scent for you. Imagine a creamy strawberry milkshake in perfume form—that’s Yara Pink. It’s a simple but irresistibly sweet scent that gives off major brunch-with-the-girls vibes. Wearing it feels like wrapping yourself in pink tulle—it’s girly, playful, and unapologetically feminine.

If you want something that will have people stopping you on the street and asking what fragrance you’re wearing, Yara is it. Price: UGX150,000. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

4. Club de Nuit Woman by Afnan

If you’re looking for an affordable dupe of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, Club de Nuit Woman is the answer. Its name, which roughly translates to “Night Club woman,” isn’t exactly the vibe the fragrance gives off. First of all, it is a second skin scent which means it’s very soapy and clean – perfect for daytime wear. Secondly, this fragrance is very elegant and sophisticated, not exactly what you’ll find in the club.

A few sprays of this fragrance go a long way, thanks to its high oil concentration, but be warned—too much can be overwhelming! Price: UGX250,000. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

5. Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf

We can’t talk about Arabian perfumes without mentioning Club de Nuit Intense Man—a fragrance that has gained cult status among Uganda men.

With its sharp citrusy notes of lemon and bergamot paired with smokey birch and leather, this fragrance is perfect for someone who wants to stand out. It’s a bold, confident scent that can last 8-10 hours, making it ideal for a long day out. One thing’s for sure—you won’t go unnoticed. Price: UGX200,000. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Journalist Solomon Sserwanja Exposed for Cheating on Wife, Audio Leak

Investigative journalist and former NBS TV news anchor Solomon Sserwanja finds himself embroiled in an infidelity scandal circulating on social media.

This controversy erupted after an audio recording featuring his voice was leaked online.

In the recording, the CEO of the Africa Institute of Investigative Journalism is heard expressing his affection for a woman identified as

He inquires whether she has received the gifts he sent her, to which she confirms. The alleged Sserwanja proceeds to declare his love for her, but she fails to give the response he anticipated.

He then questions why she hasn’t reciprocated his feelings, despite her earlier declaration of love for him. Eventually, she acquiesces and tells him what he wishes to hear. The woman then requests that he delete her number, expressing a desire to avoid any conflict with his wife.

She shares her concerns about being involved with a married man, mentioning her fear of potential repercussions, which Sserwanja laughs off as he continues to charm her. It remains uncertain who recorded this audio and how it came to be publicly available.

While the recording appears to be genuine, there have been damaging leaks previously, with a recent example being an alleged audio involving Speaker Anita Among accusing President Museveni of various war crimes.

Given the current trend of using AI to fabricate audio content, the authenticity of this voice note is in question. However, if it proves to be accurate, it could be detrimental to the renowned journalist, who is married to his long-time partner, with whom he has four children, including Vivian Mujabi.

It is noteworthy that this situation seems to be part of a targeted smear campaign, as many social media accounts disseminating this audio share a commonality of being regime supporters.
