The Brand & Vision
A Journey Through Scent & Storytelling
Abra is more than a perfume; it is a vessel of nostalgia, carrying the essence of Old Dubai through time. Just as the traditional wooden Abra boat connects both sides of the Dubai Creek, our perfumes bridge the past and the present, blending heritage with modern craftsmanship.
Each fragrance is an olfactory memory, evoking the sounds of bustling souqs, the scent of spices wafting through alleyways, and the sea breeze carrying whispers of ancient traders. Abra is a tribute to the traders, pearl divers, and merchants who built the spirit of Dubai—one scent at a time.
Our vision is to recreate the essence of Dubai’s past in every bottle. Through carefully crafted fragrances, we honor the city's hospitality, resilience, and stories that have been passed down through generations.
For centuries, the Abra boat has been the heartbeat of Dubai’s trade, carrying merchax’nts, goods, and stories across the creek. It is a symbol of movement, commerce, and tradition—values that define Abra Perfumes.
Our brand is inspired by the golden era of Deira’s bustling souqs, where traders haggled over exotic spices, pearl divers returned from months at sea, and perfumers crafted scents that told tales of journeys far and wide.
Just like the Abra, our fragrances transport you— to a moment in time, to a scent that lingers, to a story worth telling.
Merchant of Deira
The Spirit of the Souq
Warm, Spicy, Oud
The Story
In the heart of Deira, amidst the labyrinth of gold, spices, and textiles, a merchant stood behind a wooden counter, surrounded by treasures from across the world. Amber glowed under the souq’s lanterns, oud smoke curled into the evening air, and saffron-laced tea was poured into delicate cups.
This fragrance is a tribute to Deira’s merchants—men who built fortunes through barter and trade, whose voices filled the air as they struck deals over wooden ledgers. Bold yet familiar, luxurious yet comforting.

A Tribute to the Sea & Pearl Divers

The Story
Before the skyscrapers, before the oil, Dubai’s wealth was found in the depths of the sea. The pearl divers of Shindagha risked their lives, diving deep into the ocean in search of treasures hidden within oysters. The sea was their home, the waves their song, and the pearls—their legacy.
This fragrance captures the freshness of the sea breeze, the salt-kissed air, and the luminous glow of a pearl held in the palm of a diver’s hand. It is a tribute to Dubai’s forgotten pioneers, the men who sought fortune beneath the waves.

The Serenity of Dubai’s Shores

The Story
The shores of Bur Dubai hold a different kind of magic. Fishermen casting their nets at dawn, the scent of citrus from a nearby orchard, the gentle hum of waves rolling onto the sand. The coast was a place of stories, of longing, of new beginnings.
