Hamidi
Dubai oud, at working concentrations.
Hamidi Oud and Perfumes is a Dubai-based oriental fragrance house produced by Sterling Perfumes Industries, the Emirati manufacturer led by founder Ali Asgar. The Hamidi line specialises in oud, attar oils, bakhoor, and concentrated perfume oils, sitting closer to the traditional Arabian register than the brand's sister labels Armaf or Sapil. The catalogue runs heavy on white oud, royal oud, musk, and rose accords, with a parallel home-fragrance range of bakhoor and incense. Bottles tend toward the ornate — gold caps, gem-coloured glass — and the distribution covers most of the Gulf, the UK, and a growing Western specialist market. Hamidi suits readers exploring oud as a category rather than oud as a single luxury accessory: the price-to-material ratio is notably accessible for the oil concentrations involved.
DNA over time
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.
