History and origin
Little is publicly known about the history of Wadi al Khaleej. ScentVerdict calls it a relatively new brand from the Emirates and writes that information about the brand and its founder is undocumented. We did not find an official website. So we cannot name a founding year or a founder.
What is clear: the brand focuses on affordable eau de parfums in the style you often see in the Gulf region. Think warm musk scents, amber, spices and wood, plus a number of floral fragrances for women.
Parent company and sister brands
At Arabmusk, Wadi al Khaleej is grouped with Fragrance Deluxe in the Wadi Siji collection. Wadi Siji Perfumes Industries is a family business from Sharjah that says it has been making perfumes for almost four decades and carries the Fragrance Deluxe collection. We found no official confirmation that Wadi al Khaleej also belongs to Wadi Siji. The relationship is therefore not clearly confirmed.
