Surrati Perfumes is headquartered in the Industrial City of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and has been in the perfumery trade for close to six decades. Built as a manufacturer and exporter rather than a single retail counter, the company runs its own production of non-alcoholic perfumes, eau de perfum, oud, and traditional Arabian fragrance lines, and now ships across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa from its Makkah base.
Its catalogue runs to more than three thousand distinct fragrances, spanning oud oils, bakhoor, musk, attars, and Arabic and French-style perfumes — a scale that places Surrati among the larger Saudi houses working the oud and bakhoor category rather than a boutique or artisanal operation. Alongside fragrance, the house makes air-freshening 'moattar' lines (Fawah, Marooj, Malaki) that extend the same scent profiles into home and space fragrance, a category adjacent to but distinct from personal attar and bakhoor.
From its Makkah manufacturing base, Surrati now operates retail and e-commerce across Saudi Arabia and into the UAE, with showrooms reported in both Makkah and Jeddah — a footprint built on production scale and export reach rather than a single storied storefront.
