Red Sugar by Al Absar is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Red Sugar was launched in 2026. Top notes are Marshmallow, Vanilla, Pear and Rum; middle notes are Labdanum, Violet Leaf, Sandalwood, Jasmine and White Flowers; base notes are Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Cashmeran and Vetiver. Red Sugar by Al Absar is a unisex fragrance that combines gourmand sweetness with floral and woody tones. It opens with creamy vanilla, juicy pear, fluffy marshmallow and a hint of rum, creating a sweet and edible impression. The heart introduces a more floral and resinous character with violet leaf, jasmine and other white florals, nuanced by labdanum and smooth sandalwood. As it develops, the composition becomes warmer and more textured, resting on a base of patchouli, cashmeran, tonka bean and vetiver. The result is a floral-fruity-gourmand scent with an emphasis on soft sweetness balanced by woods and resins, designed to be worn comfortably by all genders.

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.
