Iconic Perfume Stores Mysteriously Close: What’s Next for UAE’s Local Fragrance Brands? 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates — Visitors to Dubai’s shopping districts have been met with an unusual sight lately: several high-end perfume shops have suddenly closed their doors, leaving many to speculate on what is happening behind the scenes. Prominent stores like Hind Al Oud, known for its exquisite blends of oud and floral notes, have been closed without any official explanation, leading to growing rumors about the future of the brand.

While there’s no official word on the reasons for these closures, many in the fragrance community are beginning to wonder if the industry is shifting towards a more digital-first approach. With international brands increasingly entering the Middle Eastern market, local names like Hind Al Oud may be rethinking their strategies.

Shoppers have expressed concern about what these closures mean for the future of local brands, but experts believe it may just be part of a broader retail transformation. Whether this means a move towards a more exclusive boutique presence or a full-scale shift towards e-commerce, one thing is clear: the luxury fragrance market in the UAE is in a period of change.
