Al-Shaya / الشايع
Kuwait's 56-showroom fragrance destination.
Al-Shaya (الشايع) is a Kuwaiti fragrance retailer and producer operating a network of 56 showrooms across the Gulf Cooperation Council region. The brand occupies a significant position in Kuwaiti fragrance culture as both a retailer of regional and international scents and a producer of its own accessible house line — a model common among large Gulf fragrance groups that combine distribution with original production. The showroom network scale suggests a well-capitalised business serving a broad consumer base rather than a boutique or specialist operation. Al-Shaya's product range encompasses oud-based compositions, floral orientals, and modern Western-style formats, covering the full spectrum of Gulf fragrance preferences at accessible prices. Note: this Al-Shaya fragrance house is distinct from the larger M.H. Alshaya retail and hospitality group also based in Kuwait.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
