Hatim by Al Absar is a fragrance for women and men. Hatim was launched in 2024. Top note is Cardamom; middle notes are Vanilla and Caramel; base notes are Oud, Amber and Musk. Hatim is described as an enchanting unisex oriental perfume that takes you on a sensory journey through the rich and captivating essence of the East.

Best for: shoppers who want an affordable, gourmand-leaning house under $55, with a clear vanilla-sweet signature and a mostly unisex range. Sample first if: you're sensitive to strong vanilla or sugared openings, since sweet and vanilla dominate the accord profile. Skip if: you want an established house with a long mention history; Al Absar is new (2022 onward) and community data is still building.
By community mentions across Scendira's data, Dahab leads Al Absar with 9 mentions, closely followed by Hasaa, Shahoor Elixir, and Rania, each with 8. Shahoor Intense, Melted Glaze, Muhit, and Melted Sugar trail close behind. Mention volume across the house is still small and tightly clustered, a sign of a young, fast-growing catalogue rather than one or two runaway hits. Each has its own page here with real community sentiment and the honest downside.
