What Is Reef’s “Arabs Of” Collection?
The Arabs of collection is Reef’s heritage-inspired line, with each fragrance named after a historic Saudi Arabian location — AlUla, Diriyah, and Tuwayq. Rather than sharing one profile, each scent draws its character from the place it’s named after, giving the three very different personalities despite the shared concept.
All three are 100ml Eau de Parfums in the Unisex Collection, priced at the standard £42.99.
Arabs of AlUla: Grapefruit, Patchouli, Leather
Arabs of AlUla is named after the ancient Saudi city famous for its rock-cut tombs and desert landscape. It opens with crisp grapefruit, moves into an earthy patchouli heart, and settles into a bold, rugged leather base — a grounded, confident, woody-spicy-leather composition built for daily wear.
Best for: anyone who wants a leather-forward fragrance without going as heavy as Reef’s core oud offerings.
Arabs of Diriyah: Saffron, Rosewood, Tonka Bean
Arabs of Diriyah honours the historic birthplace of the Saudi state, and it’s the most formal of the three — rich saffron opening into a woody rosewood heart, finishing on sweet, spiced tonka bean. It’s built for depth and longevity, and suits cooler weather and evening wear especially well.
Best for: comparing against Reef 33 if you like the saffron opening but want a sweeter, rosewood-driven direction instead of oud.
Arabs of Tuwayq: Magnolia, Jasmine, Vanilla
Arabs of Tuwayq takes its name from the dramatic Tuwayq escarpment in central Saudi Arabia, but the fragrance itself is the softest and most floral of the three — magnolia and jasmine settling into a warm vanilla base, with none of the leather or spice found in AlUla or Diriyah.
Best for: anyone who wants Arabian heritage character in a soft, floral-sweet, easy-to-wear format.
