It’s no news that Arabian perfume houses are creating an empire of affordable fragrances that perform just as well, if not better, than their high-end designer counterparts. We’ve already explored some of the best Lattafa perfumes for men and women. But today, we’re looking at another standout brand, Paris Corner.
Paris Corner is a Dubai-based fragrance house that’s gained a cult following online for its budget-friendly yet beautifully bottled perfumes. Most of these perfumes are inspired by beloved niche and designer scents. You're not alone if you’ve ever seen a chic bottle of “Khair” or “Qissa” pop up on your For You Page. These scents are everywhere on social media, and they are worth the hype!
Here are some of the best Paris Corner perfumes for women. Think addictive notes, gorgeous packaging, and shockingly good price tags, these perfumes are the best you’d find.
1. Marshmallow Blush
This perfume is basically a wink at Kayali’s Yum Boujee Marshmallow, which was also released in November 2024. Marshmallow Blush opens with a fizzy mix of strawberry, raspberry, and lemon, and dries down into a soft, fluffy cloud of marshmallow and musk.
It smells like a strawberry milkshake. The performance is… okay. Not amazing. It can feel fleeting on the skin, but spritz it on clothes, and it lingers most dreamily. It’s a definite compliment-getter, and while it leans quite youthful (maybe even a touch too youthful for some), there’s no denying it’s an easy crowd-pleaser.
)
Think of it as a girly, affordable entry into the world of sweet gourmands. Not a powerful scent, but rather an adorable scent that smells way more expensive than it is. Price: $59.99. Where To Buy: Shop Amazon.
Key Notes: Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Marshmallow, Musk
2. Khair Pistachio
This is a complex, powdery, nutty delight, but don’t expect realistic pistachio à la Yum Pistachio Gelato. Khair Pistachio opens sharp and citrusy, almost like a lemon cleaning spray. But if you can get past the opening, it transforms into something much creamier, with soft pistachio, hazelnut, and fluffy whipped cream notes. (Fun fact: Our editor wore this fragrance for a month, loves it. )
)
The dry down is where it shines. There’s a green, slightly baby wipe vibe, but then the marshmallow and cotton candy come through, which makes it unexpectedly addictive. This isn’t your typical sugary gourmand, it’s got a powdery edge that makes it feel niche, even a little daring. For the adventurous gourmand lover who wants something different. Let it settle. You’ll be surprised. Price: $33. Where To Buy: Shop Amazon.
Key Notes: Pistachio, Cardamom, Peony, Marshmallow, Cotton Candy
3. Qissa Delicious
This gourmand feels cosy, comforting, and clean all at once. Qissa Delicious starts off like a creamy chocolate-orange dessert with a touch of cocoa and then dries down into a soft, clean powdery vanilla.
)
The projection is lovely and it has a fluffy warmth that makes it perfect for bedtime or lazy days. The coconut note gives it a beachy sweetness, while the musk keeps it from being overly sugary. It’s a very wearable gourmand that feels a tad more elevated than others in its price range. Comfort in a bottle. Sweet, soft, and low-key sexy. Price: $30. Where To Buy: Shop Amazon.
Key Notes: Whipped Cream, Chocolate, Marshmallow, Coconut, Jasmine

4. Taskeen Caramel Cascade
This one is heavy on the tonka bean, which can be polarising. The first spray is a little odd, almost incense-y. But give it time, and you’ll fall in love with the dry down. It is like a sweet, creamy caramel mixed with vanilla and honey.
)
It smells exactly like Eclaire (another Paris Corner fave) but has better longevity. It’s also perfect for everyday wear, especially if you’re into vanilla-based gourmands. Price: $29. Where To Buy: Shop Amazon.
Key Notes: Caramel, Milk, Tonka Bean, Honey, Vanilla
5. Khair Fusion
Khair Fusion smells exactly like gummy bears, no exaggeration. It’s ridiculously sweet, fruity, and nostalgic, but in a fun way. This is the scent equivalent of bubblegum lip gloss and bright pink trainers. It’s playful, flirty, and unapologetically young.
)
Still, it’s not cloying. There’s a juicy brightness to the fruits that keeps it from becoming sticky. If you’re in your early 30s and still love a good fruity moment, this one is wearable and fun. Just don’t expect sophistication because it’s all about carefree sweetness. It’s not for the “mature fragrance only” crowd, but it’ll definitely get you compliments. Price: ₦31,000. Where To Buy: Shop Perfumes For Less.
Key Notes: Litchi, Red Apple, Black Currant, Vanille, Jasmine Sambac
6. December Vanilla
Now this is vanilla with attitude. December Vanilla isn’t your basic cupcake scent, it is spicy, boozy, woody, and just a little mysterious. The rum is front and centre, giving it a grown-up edge, while the vanilla and crème brûlée round it out with smooth sweetness.
)
It’s not for everyone and certainly not a blind buy, but this is worth trying if you want a darker, more seductive take on vanilla. Wear it for date nights, chilly evenings, or any time you want to feel like the main character. Essentially, it’s a grown-up vanilla done right. Price: ₦33,000. Where To Buy: Shop The Scent Store.
Key Notes: Rum, Vanilla Orchid, Patchouli, Creme Brulee, Oud
7. Eternal Coffee
Eternal Coffee might be your new fave if you’re a gourmand lover who lives for a rich coffee note. It starts as a sharp, almost bitter espresso shot, but softens into a creamy coconut-caramel concoction. You’ll most likely be reminded of Bailey’s with a hint of bounty bar chocolate.
)
It’s definitely more of a coffee dessert than a straight-up roast. Some say the opening is too bitter, while others love it. Either way, it’s addictive once it dries down and even better layered with a creamy vanilla perfume. Price: ₦22,000. Where To Buy: Shop Zash Aura.
Key Notes: Coffee, Caramel, Coconut, Milk, Musk
8. Rifaaqat
)
Now, for the women who don’t want sugary vanilla perfumes and who don’t want to smell like fruits, Rifaaqat might be worth trying out. This is not your average “girly” scent because it’s a bold, leathery, spicy fragrance with real depth. It is unisex but leans slightly masculine on the first spray, thanks to the black pepper, saffron, and incense olibanum. The vanilla comes through as it dries, softening the scent and giving it a slightly powdery sweetness.
It’s definitely a “dress-up " perfume, not something you throw on for errands. Price: ₦27,000. Where To Buy: Shop Neemahs Fragrance.
Key Notes: Pepper, Saffron, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Olibanum
