About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Are you ready to turn your passion for fragrance into a thriving career? We’re on the lookout for a Sales Executive to join our close-knit perfume team right at the heart of Dubai, in Nadd Al Hamar. This role is all about sharing your love for scents with a vibrant clientele while contributing to a brand that champions artistry and elegance in every bottle. Whether you’re a connoisseur of oud and amber or just love helping people find their signature scent, this is a golden opportunity to grow alongside a company that’s making waves across the UAE’s luxury market.
About the Company
Step into a workspace that’s as lively as the fragrances we curate. Our team is a friendly mix of fragrance enthusiasts, all united by a shared ambition to bring top-tier perfumes to our discerning customers.

At our Nadd Al Hamar branch, tradition meets innovation: we honor the timelessness of perfume while always searching for new ways to connect with our community. If you appreciate a culture where knowledge sharing is encouraged (and maybe—just maybe—you’ll leave each week smelling a bit more fabulous), you’ll feel right at home here.

- Greeting customers with genuine enthusiasm, guiding them through our fragrance collections, and helping them discover their ideal scent.
