Sultan AlSheabi brought his vision of the Kingdom’s first niche perfume destination to life when he opened L’Odore in 2013. AlSheabi’s passion for perfumes began at an early age and he began traveling the world to handpick the rarest and most satisfying scents. When he founded L’Odore, AlSheabi aspired not to simply sell commercial perfumes, but to create an archive of scents that holds stories and memories.
“Finding passion first and leaving your comfort zone will help you start your business. If you wonder where to find your passion, it will come naturally, so don’t rush it!” – Sultan Alsheaibi
As you enter L’Odore boutiques, AlSheabi’s attention to detail is evident in everything before you – from the refined yet comfortable décor, to the curated music playlist, and the exclusivity of the products themselves. Knowledgeable and experienced staffed are on hand to walk you through the scent selection process and find the perfume that will suit you best. The offered services of bottle engraving with Arabic calligraphy and truly luxurious wooden gift boxes allow the customer to present their purchases as thoughtful and fashionable gifts.
“We see our perfumes as pieces of art and our passion in showing that is very strong.”
Their client-centered focus means they are constantly ed.ucating their staff to ensure they are up to date on brands and market trends. Current trends turn around perfume families such as oud, vanilla, amber, arranged in various ac.cords. They encourage their clients to enjoy the process and create their own stories with the scents. L’Odore is always on the search for new scent experiences and you will notice the boutique and brand selection evolve to meet the needs of new generations.
Additionally, they have locations in Jeddah and Khobar, as well as a location in Qaseem called “Project Nose.” Keep an eye on their social media for news on new openings.
