Khalis has 72 perfumes indexed on Scendira, with a catalogue that pairs gourmand sweetness with traditional oud. Sweet (21 perfumes) and fruity (19) are the top accords, tied closely with vanilla (19), then oud (17), warm-spiced (16), and musky (15), so most Khalis perfumes open sweet or fruity before settling into an oud-musk base. Musk (22) and vanilla (17) are the leading individual notes layered on top of those accords. Prices run $19 to $60, median $30, firmly in accessible mall-brand territory. The range leans unisex (42 of 72 mapped), with feminine (18) and masculine (12) filling out the rest. By community mentions, Iman is the most-discussed Khalis perfume, followed by Zeena, Hareem al Sultan, and Noor. Khalis is known for blending gourmand sweetness with a traditional Arabic oud base, a bridge style for shoppers moving from mainstream fragrance into oud.
