Reef Perfumes has become one of the most searched Arabian fragrance houses in the UK, and for good reason: the range covers everything from clean daily-wear musks to bold leather-and-oud statements, all at a single flat price. At Arabic Aura, all eight Reef perfumes currently in stock cost £42.99 each, in 100ml or generous 150ml bottles. Every bottle is 100% authentic, sourced directly from Reef’s authorised UK distributor, and shipped free from UK stock.
This guide compares all eight in-stock Reef scents side by side — their notes, their character, and who each one suits — so you can choose with confidence. If you are still deciding where to buy, our guide to where to buy Reef perfume in the UK covers what to check before you order from any retailer.
Reef Perfumes at a Glance: The Comparison Table
| Perfume | Price | Size | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

| Reef 11 | £42.99 | 100ml | Pink pepper, jasmine, sandalwood |
| Reef 19 | £42.99 | 100ml | Lily of the valley, jasmine, white musk |
| Reef 21 | £42.99 | 100ml | Red berries, cedarwood, patchouli |
| Reef 31 | £42.99 | 100ml | Saffron, amber, vanilla |
| Reef 33 White | £42.99 | 100ml | Red berries, saffron, oud |
| Reef Obaiah | £42.99 | 100ml | Pineapple, leather, oud |
| Reef Pure Fruity | £42.99 | 150ml | Lemon, lavender, tonka bean |
Two things stand out immediately. First, the pricing is flat: every Reef perfume at Arabic Aura is £42.99, so the choice is about the scent, not the budget. Second, two of the eight — Lady Reef and Reef Pure Fruity — come in 150ml bottles at that same price, making them the strongest value per millilitre in the range.
The 8 In-Stock Reef Perfumes
1. Lady Reef — The Fruity-Floral Statement for Her
Lady Reef is Reef Perfumes’ dedicated women’s release, and the richest, most multi-note composition in the in-stock range. It opens with luminous peach and white florals, moves into an opulent rose-amber heart, and lingers on a rich vanilla-musk base. The full note list runs from blackcurrant and mandarin at the top, through jasmine, iris, cashmere and orange blossom in the heart, to a clean musk finish.
Blackcurrant and mandarin open bright and juicy, giving a fresh, fruity first impression with real energy. Jasmine, iris, cashmere and orange blossom then unfold into a soft, layered floral heart that feels warm rather than sharp, and musk closes the composition with a clean, refined finish. Lady Reef is built for women who want a fragrance that feels elegant and put-together — and the 150ml bottle at the same £42.99 as the 100ml Classic bottles makes it strong daily-wear value as well as a statement scent.
2. Reef 11 — Spicy Pink Pepper Meets Soft Sandalwood
Reef 11 is a floral-spicy composition built around pink pepper, jasmine and sandalwood. It opens with vibrant pink pepper, transitions into a sweet jasmine heart, and settles into a smooth sandalwood base. It is brighter and more spice-forward than Reef’s oud-led numbers, with a softer, creamier finish than most of the line — a fragrance that leans elegant rather than bold.
Pink pepper arrives bright and slightly spicy, an energising start that is warmer than a typical citrus opening. Jasmine follows, adding floral elegance without becoming heavy or overly sweet, and sandalwood closes the composition with a smooth, creamy warmth. Reef 11 is marketed as a unisex fragrance, and the composition often reads slightly feminine because of the jasmine heart, though the pink pepper opening keeps it from leaning too floral.
3. Reef 19 — A Clean, Floral-Musk Composition
Reef 19 is one of the simpler structures in Reef’s Classic line — three notes, no excess, built around lily of the valley, jasmine and white musk. It opens with fresh lily of the valley, moves into an elegant jasmine heart, and settles into a soft white musk base. It reads as fresh and clean rather than heavy or sweet, which is what makes it as suited to an office as it is to evening wear.
Lily of the valley opens fresh and slightly green, evoking the brightness of a garden rather than a perfume counter. Jasmine follows, adding floral depth without tipping into sweetness, and white musk closes the composition with a soft, clean warmth. Reef 19 is marketed as a unisex fragrance and wears that way — clean and floral with a musky finish that doesn’t lean distinctly masculine or feminine.
4. Reef 21 — Fruity Top, Woody Finish
Reef 21 takes a different route than Reef’s oud-led numbers: it opens fruity and finishes earthy, built around red berries, cedarwood and patchouli. The result is a woody-fruity profile that reads as fresh without being light, and grounded without being heavy.
Red berries bring a bright, slightly tart freshness — the kind of opening that feels lively rather than sweet. Cedarwood follows, adding a clean, structured warmth that bridges the fruity top and the earthy base. Patchouli closes the composition with a smooth, lingering depth, and it is the note responsible for Reef 21’s longer-lasting presence on skin and fabric. Reef 21 is a unisex fragrance suited to daytime wear across most of the year.
5. Reef 31 — A Warm, Linear Saffron-Amber-Vanilla Blend
Reef 31 — sometimes referred to as “Royal Amber Intensity” — blends warm saffron, resinous amber and soft vanilla into a balanced, linear Eau de Parfum. Saffron opens warm and slightly earthy, setting a spiced tone from the first spray. Amber follows, adding a warm, resinous depth, and vanilla closes the composition with a soft, comforting sweetness — present but not heavy-handed.
What makes Reef 31 different is its linearity: it stays fairly consistent from first spray through to dry-down rather than shifting dramatically across stages. What you smell in the first minutes is close to what you will smell hours later, which makes it easy to wear and easy to buy with confidence. Reef 31 suits anyone who wants a balanced, all-season scent. It is unisex, and wearable for both office and evening. For a closer look at how it compares with its saffron-oud sibling, see our Reef 31 vs Reef 33 comparison.
6. Reef 33 White — Reef 33’s Brighter, Fruitier Sibling
Reef 33 White takes the same saffron-oud foundation as the original Reef 33 and softens it with a red berry top note, trading some of the original’s smoky intensity for a brighter, fruitier opening. It opens with bright red berries, moves into a rich saffron heart, and settles into a resinous oud base. It keeps the warmth and depth, but arrives lighter.
Red berries open bright and slightly tart, giving Reef 33 White a fruitier, more approachable start than its predecessor. Saffron follows, rich and exotic, bridging the fruity opening with the deeper base to come. Oud closes the fragrance with resinous, woody depth — present and lasting, but balanced by the berry-saffron combination above it. Reef 33 White suits anyone who likes the idea of an oud fragrance but wants something a touch sweeter and more wearable day-to-day than a heavier oud scent.
7. Reef Obaiah — Tropical Fruit Meets Leather and Oud
Reef Obaiah takes an unusual route for an oud fragrance — opening with pineapple rather than citrus or saffron. It opens with juicy pineapple, moves into a bold leather heart, and settles into a deep, resinous oud base. The name reflects dignity and presence, and the composition backs that up: tropical fruit up top, leather through the heart, and oud at the base.
Pineapple opens bright and juicy — unexpected for an oud fragrance, but it is what gives Reef Obaiah its distinct character. Leather follows, adding a bold, rugged depth that balances the fruity opening, and oud closes the composition with deep, resinous richness — the note that gives Reef Obaiah its lasting, statement presence. Reef Obaiah is a unisex fragrance for anyone who wants an oud scent with a twist, and the pick of the range for evenings and occasions.
8. Reef Pure Fruity — The Clean One, in 150ml
Reef Pure Fruity is the cleanest fragrance in the Reef range, and it comes in the biggest bottle. It opens with bright, zesty lemon — crisp and immediately uplifting. Lavender rises through the heart with a calming, velvety softness that bridges citrus and warmth. Tonka bean anchors the dry-down in a sweet, creamy finish that lingers. On skin, expect 8+ hours of wear, with a wearability that works equally well for men and women. Launched in 2025, it is Reef Perfumes’ answer to the question of what clean, bright and lasting smells like.
The Reef Pure collection exists for people who want precision over complexity, and Reef Pure Fruity is the freshest entry in that collection — a lemon-lavender-tonka composition in a generous 150ml bottle. Lemon arrives first: tart, sparkling and immediately refreshing, genuine citrus brightness that settles within minutes into a cleaner, more luminous freshness. Lavender rises through the citrus after ten to fifteen minutes, and tonka bean carries the finish. At 150ml for £42.99, Reef Pure Fruity is one of the two best-value bottles in the range alongside Lady Reef.
How to Choose the Right Reef Perfume
With all eight at the same £42.99, the decision comes down to the kind of scent you want, not the price. For clean daily wear, Reef 19 and Reef Pure Fruity are the two most straightforward choices: one is a soft floral-musk, the other a bright citrus-lavender. For evenings and occasions, Reef Obaiah and Reef 33 White bring the most presence — pineapple-leather-oud in the first, red berry-saffron-oud in the second.
For a warm, all-season signature, Reef 31 is the most balanced choice, with its linear saffron-amber-vanilla profile staying consistent from first spray to dry-down. For something fruity but grounded, Reef 21 pairs red berries with cedarwood and patchouli, while Reef 11 pairs pink pepper with jasmine and sandalwood for a spicier, more elegant floral. For a dedicated women’s fragrance, Lady Reef is the only one in the range built specifically for her, in a generous 150ml bottle.
Think about oud, too. If you love oud, Reef 33 White and Reef Obaiah are your two options here, and they could hardly be more different: one is bright and fruity, the other is bold and leathery. If you would rather avoid oud altogether, the other six — Lady Reef, Reef 11, Reef 19, Reef 21, Reef 31 and Reef Pure Fruity — are all oud-free. And if value per millilitre matters, the two 150ml bottles, Lady Reef and Reef Pure Fruity, give you half as much again as the 100ml bottles for the same £42.99.

How to store Reef perfumes
All eight Reef scents here are eau de parfum at the same £42.99, and they share the same storage rule. Keep bottles in their boxes, in a cool, dark drawer or wardrobe shelf — never in the bathroom, where heat, light and humidity break perfume down faster than time does. The two 150ml bottles, Lady Reef and Reef Pure Fruity, deserve the same care with one extra note: a larger bottle lasts longer on the shelf, which means more time for poor storage to do its damage. Buy the 150ml for value, but store it as carefully as the 100ml bottles.
Layering Reef perfumes
Reef’s numbered line layers better than most, because the scents share a house character — clean musks, warm ambers, soft woods. The rule is the same as for any layering: one light scent under one heavier one, total spray count unchanged. Reef 19 under Reef 31 adds freshness to warmth without fighting it; Reef Pure Fruity under Reef 33 White adds brightness to fruit without doubling the sweetness. Never layer two heavy Reef scents together — Obaiah over 33 White, for example, turns muddy rather than richer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all Reef perfumes at Arabic Aura £42.99?
Yes. All eight in-stock Reef perfumes — Lady Reef, Reef 11, Reef 19, Reef 21, Reef 31, Reef 33 White, Reef Obaiah and Reef Pure Fruity — are priced at a flat £42.99. The two 150ml bottles cost the same as the six 100ml bottles, so they offer the best value per millilitre.
Which Reef perfume is best for daily wear?
Reef 19 and Reef Pure Fruity are the two most straightforward daily-wear choices. Reef 19 is a clean lily of the valley, jasmine and white musk composition that suits an office as well as an evening out, while Reef Pure Fruity is a bright lemon, lavender and tonka bean scent with 8+ hours of wear. Reef 31 is also a strong all-season daily option, with its warm, linear saffron-amber-vanilla profile.
Are Reef perfumes at Arabic Aura authentic?
Yes. Every Reef perfume sold at Arabic Aura is 100% authentic, sourced directly from Reef’s authorised UK distributor. Orders ship free from UK stock with fast tracked delivery, and every purchase is covered by a 14-day guarantee with a hassle-free money-back return policy.
Which Reef perfume should I choose if I like oud?
Reef 33 White and Reef Obaiah are the two oud options in the in-stock range. Reef 33 White pairs oud with red berries and saffron for a brighter, fruitier, more approachable oud, while Reef Obaiah pairs oud with pineapple and leather for a bolder, more statement-making scent. If you prefer to avoid oud, the other six Reef perfumes in this guide are all oud-free.
Will Reef perfume stain light clothes?
Eau de parfum oils can mark delicate or very pale fabrics. Spray on skin first and let it dry before dressing, and test one hidden spot if you want to spray a scarf or coat lining.
Is Reef a good gift?
Yes — and the uniform £42.99 price makes it easy. For a safe first Reef gift, Reef 31 is the most balanced choice the guide names: warm, all-season, consistent from first spray to dry-down. For a dedicated women’s gift, Lady Reef is the only one in the range built specifically for her, in a generous 150ml bottle at the same price.
Can I layer Reef perfumes?
Yes — one light Reef under one heavier one, total spray count unchanged. Reef 19 under Reef 31 and Reef Pure Fruity under Reef 33 White both work; two heavy Reef scents together turn muddy.
