Shirley May
Shirley May is a UAE-based fragrance label operated by Sterling Perfumes, the Sharjah-headquartered manufacturer that builds private-label and budget Arabian fragrance brands for the Gulf and South Asian markets. The brand sits in the affordable end of the regional industry, alongside its sister labels under the Sterling umbrella. The catalog covers eaux de toilette, deluxe extraits, body sprays and traditional attars, organised into long sub-collections — Shirley May, Shirley May Deluxe — that lean on familiar Arabian accords: oud, amber, rose, saffron, leather, with a parallel line of fresher, more western-style compositions aimed at the day-to-day market. Bottles are decorative in the regional idiom, with metal collars and ornamented caps. Distribution runs through hypermarkets, perfume bazaars and pharmacy chains across the GCC, the Indian subcontinent, North and East Africa.

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.
