Each batch of oud we carry is personally selected during our sourcing trips to India and Dubai — chosen for its grade, resin content, and scent profile. We stock a range of grades to suit every preference and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does House of Rajab Ali sell?
We specialise in premium Ouds (agarwood), Oud Oils, and Attars — luxurious, traditional fragrances sourced directly from India and Dubai. Each product is personally selected for quality, purity, and scent profile.
What is Oud (Agarwood)?
Oud, also known as agarwood, is a precious resinous heartwood from the Aquilaria tree — one of the most expensive natural fragrance ingredients in the world. It produces a rich, deep, woody fragrance when burned as incense (bakhoor) and is also distilled into highly concentrated oud oil for personal use.
What is an Attar?
Attar is a traditional perfume oil made by distilling flowers, herbs, spices, or woods into a base oil (often sandalwood or oud). Attars are entirely alcohol-free and have been used for centuries in Indian and Arabian perfumery. They are ideal for those who prefer natural, oil-based fragrances.
Are your products alcohol-free?
Yes. Our oud oils and attars are oil-based and alcohol-free, making them ideal for those who prefer natural fragrances. This also makes them suitable for use during prayer and religious occasions, in line with Islamic guidelines on fragrance.
Where do you source your products?
We personally source our ouds, oud oils, and attars from India and Dubai — two of the world's most celebrated fragrance markets. Our team undertakes dedicated sourcing trips to hand-select only the finest products before bringing them to South Africa.
Do you offer gift options?
Absolutely. Our premium ouds, oud oils, and attars make exceptional gifts for Eid, Ramadan, weddings, birthdays, housewarmings, and other special occasions. Visit our store or contact us via WhatsApp for gift recommendations and packaging.
Can I visit the store?
Yes! We warmly welcome you to visit us at 23 Roy Road, Lansdowne, Cape Town, to explore and sample our full collection in person. The in-store experience allows you to truly appreciate the depth and character of each fragrance.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk orders?
Please contact us directly via WhatsApp on 083 787 0666 or 083 787 0777, or email us at aadil.dien@gmail.com to discuss wholesale or bulk order enquiries. We are happy to accommodate larger orders.
How do I apply oud oil?
Apply a small amount of oud oil directly to your pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows. The warmth of your skin helps to diffuse and project the fragrance. A little goes a long way with pure oud oil.
How do I use oud wood (bakhoor)?
Place a small piece of oud wood on a lit charcoal disc in a mabkhara (incense burner) or electric incense burner. The heat causes the resin in the wood to release its fragrance. Use it to scent your home, clothing, or personal space — a beloved tradition in Muslim households.
