Arabian Oud brings its iconic fragrance legacy to Mall of America®
BLOOMINGTON, MN — May 27, 2025
Mall of America® is proud to announce the upcoming arrival of Arabian Oud, the world’s largest Middle Eastern fragrance house, bringing its timeless scents and deep-rooted heritage to Minnesota for the first time.
Arabian Oud was founded in 1982 in the historic marketplace of Souk Al Zal in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Since then, the brand has spent more than four decades crafting some of the world’s most coveted perfumes, oils, and incense. At the heart of its formulations is Oud—a rare and luxurious resin known for its rich, complex aroma and cultural significance across the Middle East. Recognized as one of the most prized natural ingredients in perfumery, Oud is the soul of Arabian Oud’s globally celebrated offerings.
“Welcoming Arabian Oud to Mall of America brings a world-renowned fragrance house with deep cultural heritage and global acclaim to our mix of luxury and experiential retailers,” said Ashley Hofmann, Director of Leasing at Mall of America. “Guests will be captivated by the rich history and craftsmanship behind every scent, offering a truly unique experience that resonates with both fragrance connoisseurs and curious shoppers alike.”
With a global footprint spanning 1,200 stores in 37 countries—including flagship locations in Paris, Dubai, Milan, New York, and London—Arabian Oud is now extending its refined scent experience to Mall of America. The new boutique will invite guests to explore more than 400 distinctive products, each a unique expression of identity, tradition, and artistry.
“Opening at Mall of America marks an exciting milestone in our ongoing U.S. expansion,” said Ralph Bou Nader, General Manager of Arabian Oud International. “As one of the world’s premier shopping destinations, it offers an ideal platform to showcase the depth, beauty, and heritage of our fragrances. With several locations already established across the country, we are proud to strengthen our presence and share the timeless artistry of oud with an even broader American audience.”
Arabian Oud will be located on Level 2, West. For more information on new and coming soon retail, dining, and attractions at Mall of America, visit https://www.mallofamerica.com/shopping/new.
