Ibraheem AlQurashi’s Tobacco Collection: The Tobacco Gift Set—Nine Countries in Nine Bottles
From Ibraheem AlQurashi, a Saudi brand known by the acronym IBRAQ, the Tobacco Collection set includes nine 20-ml unisex perfume samples, each with a concentration of 80% vol., for a total of 180 ml, under barcode 6287020283666. The nine fragrances are Arabian, Brazilian, Cuban, Dominican, French, Greek, Jamaican, Mexican, and Spanish Tobacco. All feature a tobacco note, but in different layers: in the top note for three of them, in the heart note for four, and in the base note for two. Fragrantica lists eight of these fragrances as released in 2023 and rates them between 4.16 and 4.44 out of 5. Manufactured in Saudi Arabia; shelf life of 36 months after opening. Available as authentic products at Parfumerie de Dubai.
Nine Interpretations of the Same Subject
The concept behind the set is summed up in its title: nine fragrances, each named after a country associated with tobacco—from Cuba to Brazil, including Greece and the Dominican Republic. These are not nine variations on the same formula but nine distinct compositions, with fragrance families that are sometimes completely different from one another. The format of 20 ml is the real selling point: more generous than a sample, yet small enough to seriously test nine different options without committing to a full-size version.
The most telling interpretation is that of the tobacco ranking in each pyramid. It opens the composition at Arabian, Cuban and Dominican Tobacco, where it is announced right from the start. It takes center stage at Brazilian, French, Jamaican and Spanish Tobacco, following a top note that can be spicy, citrusy, or marine. It only appears as a base note in Greek and Mexican Tobacco, as a closing touch rather than a central theme. Three, four, two: the box set covers all three approaches to the subject matter.
In terms of reception, the lineup holds up: the nine models score between 4.16 and 4.44 out of 5 according to Fragrantica's ratings. The highest-ranked one is French Tobacco, with a rating of 4.44 out of 5 based on 556 votes, making it the most reviewed fragrance in the collection, even though—paradoxically—it is the least tobacco-like of the nine, classified as an aromatic fern. At the other end of the spectrum, Cuban Tobacco It still has only 63 votes: it's the most recent entry in the group.
In the store, this set joins the brand's other introductory format, the D’Or Tresor Gift Set : One features a fruity floral scent and "Full Day" in three bottles; this one features a tobacco scent in nine variations.

The Three Families in the Box Set
Product sheet
The gift set and its bottles
The nine bottles are identical in shape and differ only in the color of the glass. Each one features a cylindrical body with vertical groovesa gold-colored, fluted, domed cover which features the same motif, and a IBRAQ gold headband at the pass. A rectangular gold plate The front of the bottle features the product name, the words "PERFUME EXTRACT," and the volume, 20 ml / 0.68 fl. oz.
So that's the glass color which serves as a color-coding system: light frosted blue for Greek, bright blue for Brazilian, deep blue for Spanish, opaque white for French, champagne gold for Arabian, black for Dominican, amber brown for Cuban, orange for Jamaican, and red for Mexican. Arabian Tobacco is the only one whose nameplate bears the name in Arabic script.
The back of the box contains regulatory information: the INCI list, net content, alcohol content, barcode, the “Made in KSA” label along with the name of the factory, the pictogram indicating the shelf life after opening, and safety instructions.
How to Approach a Set of Nine
It's tempting to open all nine on the same day, and that's the surest way to forget everything. It's better to proceed by groups of two or three, respecting the fragrance families: first the light ones with French and Greek, then the aromatic woody ones with Brazilian and Dominican, and finally the orientals, which are the richest. Wearing one fragrance on each wrist for half a day remains the most straightforward approach.
Visit 20 ml They are easy to transport, but airline regulations regarding liquids in the cabin and the product’s flammability before it dries call for a minimum of caution when traveling. At home, a stable ambient temperature, when stored away from direct light, preserves the nine juices for the advertised 36 months after opening.
FAQ: Ibraheem AlQurashi's Tobacco Collection
What exactly is included in the Tobacco Collection set?
Nine 20-ml spray bottles, for a total of 180 ml, all in perfume extract concentration. The nine scents are Arabian, Brazilian, Cuban, Dominican, French, Greek, Jamaican, Mexican, and Spanish Tobacco. This is not a sample set: each bottle is a full-size product, with its own spray and nameplate.
Do all nine perfumes smell like tobacco?
No, and that’s the appeal of this set. The tobacco note is clearly present in all nine pyramids, but at very different levels: in the top notes of Arabian, Cuban, and Dominican; in the heart notes of Brazilian, French, Jamaican, and Spanish; and in the base notes of Greek and Mexican. Greek Tobacco is thus classified as a floral-fruity fragrance, and French Tobacco as an aromatic fougère: in both cases, tobacco serves as a base note signature rather than the central theme.
What does the notation "80% vol." on the box mean?
This refers to the product’s alcohol content—in other words, the proportion of alcohol in the solution—and not the proportion of fragrance concentrate. The two are often confused. A high alcohol content serves as a solvent and a carrier for diffusion; it also explains the warning that the product is flammable before it dries. The concentration of fragrance ingredients, however, is not quantified on the packaging: it is identified only by the term “fragrance extract.”.
Perfume extract or eau de parfum?
The inscription engraved on the plaque of each bottle reads “parfum extract,” and that is the official designation. Some retailers list this same set as an eau de parfum, which is a product listing error and not a different product variant. In practice, the extract concentration results in a more subtle opening and a scent that stays closer to the skin than an eau de parfum, so it’s best to apply it sparingly.
Where should I start?
According to ratings from the Fragrantica community, French Tobacco tops the list with a score of 4.44 out of 5 based on 556 votes, ahead of Brazilian Tobacco at 4.39 and Mexican Tobacco at 4.36. French Tobacco is also the most accessible, as its citrus top notes and fougère structure bring it closer to fresh Western fragrances. To move directly into the oriental category, Arabian Tobacco—with its coffee and smoky base notes—is the most representative of what the house is striving to achieve.
