Guided by a deep understanding of perfumery, the company develops compositions that balance heritage with innovation. By carefully cultivating global partnerships, it sources exceptional ingredients to ensure the highest standards of quality in every creation.
“Each Reef fragrance is designed as a considered expression of individuality, crafted to accompany moments that endure.

The visionary behind Reef Group’s position as Saudi Arabia’s market-leading fragrance house is its CEO, Fahad bin Badr Al-Majed. In the recently concluded Global Business Outlook Awards, both Reef Group and Fahad got recognised as the “Best Emerging Home-Grown Perfumes and Fragrances Brand – Reef” and “Best CEO – Perfumes & Fragrances – Mr. Fahad Al-Majed” respectively.
“The achievement of the best growing perfume brand and best CEO in the perfume industry on the level of GCC is truly remarkable and reflects the quality of work standards and a dedication to receive such recognition following the steps of what Reef Group’s vision is aiming to be and milestones to achieve,” CEO Fahad bin Badr Al-Majed noted.

A future outlook beyond the award
Being honoured by GBO marks a new beginning toward broader horizons of success. The Reef Group now aims to build upon this excellence by enhancing its services, strengthening its investment in innovation, and elevating customer satisfaction. The company also seeks to capitalise on this recognition to expand its partnerships and reinforce its presence in local and regional markets.
Through Reef Group’s partnership and franchise models, Saudi entrepreneurs now have the opportunity to start their own business. The company, on its part, provides an integrated system that makes it easy for the partners and franchise holders to quickly and confidently launch their businesses into the perfume market.
Also, Reef Group’s rich experience in the perfume industry comes in handy, as the business helps Saudi entrepreneurs to combine craftsmanship with exceptional quality. Strategic partnerships with the best suppliers globally ensure the provision of the finest essential oils that reflect excellence for the perfumes.
“The management has affirmed that the next phase will focus on sustainability, talent development, and the adoption of global best practices. The award is not the end of the journey—it is a motivation to continue striving for excellence and to solidify the company’s status as a pioneering leader in its field,” Fahad concluded.
