The Brand

Matin Martin

Matin Martin has 13 perfumes indexed on Scendira, the smallest catalogue of any brand we carry. Citrus (9 perfumes) is the top accord, tied closely with powdery, musky, and woody (8 each), then sweet, fresh, floral, and fruity (6-7 each), so the range is varied rather than built around one signature note. On the note level, musk and jasmine are tied as the top individual notes (6 each), with leather and bergamot close behind (5 each). Prices run $35 to $75, median $65, mid-to-premium for a Gulf house this size. The catalogue splits evenly across unisex (7), masculine (3), and feminine (3). Community mention counts are low across the board: SANTORINI and LIMITLESS lead with 2 mentions each, reflecting how small and under-reviewed this brand still is compared to established houses like Nabeel or Khadlaj.

Filter Matin Martin Perfumes by Dominant Note

Best for: shoppers open to a smaller, less-reviewed Gulf house at a mid-to-premium price, not for anyone who wants a heavily community-vetted pick.

Every Matin Martin perfume here is catalogued from real notes, accords, and independent community sentiment. No paid placements.
