Oud (agarwood) is one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery. It comes from the resinous heartwood of the Aquilaria tree and produces a rich, woody, complex scent. Oud has been used in Arabian perfumery for centuries and is known as 'liquid gold' for its rarity and value. Sara Sakina carries hundreds of oud-based fragrances from premium Arabian brands.

What is the difference between perfume oil and spray perfume?

Perfume oils (attars) are 100% concentrated fragrance in a carrier oil — alcohol-free, intimate projection, and typically 8-14 hours longevity. Spray perfumes (EDP) contain 15-20% fragrance in an alcohol base — wider projection, easier application, and typically 6-10 hours longevity. Many enthusiasts layer both for the best experience.

Do you have a physical store?

Yes! Visit us at Oakville Place, Unit 242 (240 Leighland Ave, Oakville, Ontario). You can smell and test any fragrance in person before purchasing, with staff who do fragrance matching.

How do I know if an Arabian perfume is fake?

Warning signs include: extreme discounts, wrong juice color, poor longevity (less than 1-2 hours), missing batch codes, poor packaging quality, and sellers who can't verify their source. The safest approach is to buy from verified retailers like Sara Sakina, which sources directly from fragrance houses.
