The Best Kurma-Inspired Fragrances to Wear for Raya 2026
Ready for Eid!
These kurma-inspired fragrances translate the beloved fruit into elegant scents perfect for Ramadan and Raya 2026 celebrations.
Few scents feel as fitting for Ramadan as the warm, honeyed sweetness of kurma. Deeply tied to the tradition of breaking fast, the beloved fruit has also found its way into fragrance, lending perfumes comforting gourmand notes that feel especially suited to the season.
During the day, when fasting heightens the senses, softer and lighter fragrances often feel more pleasant, offering longevity without becoming overpowering. As evening falls and families gather for iftar, however, it becomes the ideal time to reach for scents that are a little deeper and more opulent. Ahead, discover our top picks for date-inspired fragrances that beautifully echo the spirit of Ramadan and Raya celebrations to come.
ZOOLOGIST CAMEL 60ML, RM950
A standout in the Zoologist range, Camel whisks you away on a sensory journey through the Middle East. The first whiff greets you with dried fruits, including dates and raisins, alongside florals like rose and jasmine. It then blossoms with warm spices such as amber and cinnamon, while animalistic musks and authentic oud form a bold, lingering base. Unisex and long-lasting, it’s ideal for festive Raya gatherings, seamlessly carrying you from day to night.
THE HOUSE OF OUD DATES DELIGHT 75ML, RM1,200
Opening with sweet dates and soft peony, The House of Oud’s Dates Delight instantly evokes the familiar warmth of festive gatherings. At its heart, cinnamon, caramel, tonka bean, and coumarin meld together like a spiced dessert, while honey, sugar, vanilla, and benzoin leave a lingering gourmand trail that is both cosy and luxurious. Versatile enough to wear all day, it’s the perfect pick-me-up to keep your spirits bright throughout the season.
THE BODY SHOP AJWA DATE & HONEY EAU DE TOILETTE 50ML, RM159
For a more affordable option, The Body Shop’s Ajwa Date & Honey Eau de Toilette is a must-have for anyone who loves a lighter, everyday scent. Dried grapes, laban, and freesia meet Ajwa dates, walnut atayef, and vegan honey, creating a sweet, uplifting fragrance with subtle hints of sandalwood, musk, and vanilla in the base. We’d recommend layering it with the matching body mist, shower gel, or body butter beforehand for a stronger, more lasting effect!
SOLFÉRINO PARIS MINUIT RUE PRINCESSE 125ML, RM1,390
Solférino Paris’ Minuit Rue Princesse is an oud fragrance you must have in your beauty arsenal. A luxurious ode to nightfall, it blends the soft warmth of dates with deep, smoky woods for a scent that is both mysterious and magnetic. Fruity date notes are balanced by patchouli and davana, creating a rich, lingering fragrance that captivates the senses.
