Al Dakheel Oud Coupons, Promo Codes & Discounts

Al Dakheel Oud is a Saudi perfume house that began in 1983 with a single showroom in a commercial market in downtown Riyadh. It was built by the sons of Fahd Al Dakheel and has stayed a family company while growing into one of the larger fragrance manufacturers in the Kingdom.

Today the business runs more than 100 branches across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, with a catalogue of around 500 products covering agarwood, oriental mixtures, body fragrance, bakhoor and oud. Unlike a pure retailer, Al Dakheel manufactures its own range.

The factory is the part worth knowing about. It holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certification and is licensed by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, which matters in a category where counterfeit and adulterated oud oil is a genuine problem. Cheap oud oil is very often not oud.

Delivery covers all regions of Saudi Arabia and the GCC, with click and collect available at branches. Payment includes Apple Pay, Google Pay, STC Pay, cash on delivery and instalments through Tabby and Tamara.

The current code on qponi gives 5 percent off across the GCC. It is a small percentage on a category where individual purchases can be large, so it is best saved for a real order rather than a bottle of body spray.

How to use a coupon

1. Copy the Al Dakheel Oud code from this page. It covers the GCC markets.

2. Open the store through the link on qponi.com so the code is attributed to your visit.

3. Add your oud, bakhoor or perfumes to the cart on the site or the app.

4. Enter the code in the promo field at checkout.

5. Check the 5 percent came off before you complete the order.

Tips to save more

• Buy from the manufacturer rather than a marketplace on oud specifically. Adulterated oud oil is common and hard to spot, and an SFDA-licensed factory with ISO certification is the meaningful difference.

• Use click and collect if a branch is near you. With 100 plus branches across the Kingdom, collection is usually faster than delivery and removes the shipping cost from the equation.

• Gift sets are where a small percentage adds up. Five percent on a boxed set worth several hundred riyals is worth more than the same code on a single bottle.

• Order well before Eid. Every Saudi fragrance house ships at once in the fortnight before both Eids and delivery slows across the board.

• Try bakhoor before buying a large quantity. Home fragrance is more personal than perfume and a kilo of a blend you dislike is not returnable once opened.

• Store oud oils upright, sealed and away from light. Properly kept they improve over years. On a warm shelf they turn.
