The Reef numbered series contains ten 100ml Eau de Parfums in the Al Amira range: Reef 2, 6, 11, 15, 19, 29, 31, 33, 33 White and 36. Although the bottles follow the same numbered format, the fragrances cover very different styles, from bright grapefruit and rose to clean musk, creamy vanilla, warm saffron and deep oud.
The simplest way to choose is by scent character. Pick Reef 15 for fresh everyday wear, Reef 19 for soft white musk, Reef 31 for sweet vanilla and amber, Reef 33 for aromatic saffron and oud, or Reef 33 White for a fruitier, more oud-led alternative.
About this guide
By the Al Amira Fragrance Team · Reviewed August 2026
Al Amira is a Manchester-based UK retailer specialising in Arabian and Middle Eastern fragrances. We stock Reef perfumes in the UK and created this guide to make the numbered series easier to compare by scent profile, notes, season, occasion, performance and similar fragrance direction.
Product facts in this guide are drawn from the current Al Amira Reef product listings and collection information. Practical labels such as “best starting point” and the comparisons between fragrances are Al Amira’s editorial judgement. Listed longevity is guidance rather than a guarantee, and similar-fragrance references describe scent direction only; they do not mean two perfumes are identical.
Quick answer Reef 15 is the fresh everyday choice, Reef 19 is the soft musky option, Reef 2 and 6 are the elegant florals, Reef 11 is the bold woody Eau de Parfum, Reef 29, 31 and 36 are warm date-night fragrances, Reef 33 is the aromatic saffron-and-oud scent, and Reef 33 White is the fruitier oud fragrance.
How we compared the range
We compared all ten fragrances using their published note structure, scent profile, concentration, season, occasion, similar fragrance direction and expected performance. The purpose is not to invent one universal winner, but to identify which Reef number best fits a particular taste or use.

What Is the Difference Between the Reef Numbered Perfumes?
The ten fragrances separate naturally into four broad groups: elegant florals, fresh or musky lighter scents, warm amber fragrances, and woody or oud-led compositions. The numbers do not indicate strength or progression, so choosing by scent character is far more useful than choosing the highest number.
Elegant florals: Reef 2 and Reef 6
Reef 2 is bright and polished through grapefruit, jasmine and amber. Reef 6 is rosier and cleaner, using citrus and musk around its floral centre.
Fresh and musky: Reef 15 and Reef 19
Reef 15 is the clearest everyday fresh fragrance, pairing bergamot and fresh convallaria with smooth oud. Reef 19 is softer and more intimate, centred on lily of the valley, jasmine and clean white musk.
Warm amber and sweetness: Reef 29, Reef 31 and Reef 36
Reef 29 is powdery and elegant through saffron, iris and amber. Reef 31 replaces the iris with vanilla, making it the sweetest fragrance in this group. Reef 36 takes a more floral route through pear blossom, ylang-ylang and amber.
Woody and oud-led: Reef 11, Reef 33 and Reef 33 White
Reef 11 is the bold woody fragrance, combining pink pepper and jasmine with creamy sandalwood. Reef 33 is warm, aromatic and herbaceous through Indian saffron, rosemary and oud. Reef 33 White also has a warm profile but is fruitier and more directly oud-led, replacing rosemary with berries over saffron and oud.
Every Reef Numbered Perfume Explained
The complete ten-fragrance range
Each perfume has a distinct role. The strongest choice depends on whether you prefer florals, freshness, clean musk, amber sweetness or a more obvious oud character.
The bright grapefruit floral
Reef 2
Similar style: J’Adore Profile: Floral Best for: Special Occasion Season: Spring / Summer Performance: Strong sillage · around 6 hours
Reef 2 is the brighter, more citrus-led elegant floral in the numbered range, balancing a vivid grapefruit opening with jasmine and smooth amber.
Grapefruit gives the fragrance an immediate sparkling freshness. Jasmine adds a soft floral centre before amber creates a warm, graceful finish that keeps the composition polished rather than sharp.
Choose this if: you want a J’Adore-style direction with grapefruit brightness, delicate jasmine and soft amber warmth.
The fresh rose and musk floral
Reef 6
Similar style: Light Blue Profile: Floral Best for: Special Occasion Season: Spring / Summer Performance: Moderate sillage · around 6 hours
Reef 6 is the cleanest rose fragrance in the numbered collection, using citrus to brighten the floral character and musk to soften the finish.
Rose leads the opening before citruses add a sparkling lift through the centre. Musk gives the dry-down a soft, powdery and skin-like texture, making Reef 6 lighter in presence than most of the range.
Choose this if: you want a Light Blue-style fresh direction interpreted through rose, citrus and clean musk.
The bold spicy-woody Eau de Parfum
Reef 11
Similar style: Spicebomb Profile: Woody Best for: Special Occasion Season: Autumn / Spring Performance: Strong sillage · around 7 hours
Reef 11 is the bold woody Eau de Parfum in the numbered series, pairing spicy pink pepper and an airy jasmine heart with a creamy sandalwood base.
Pink pepper gives the opening a radiant spicy lift. Jasmine creates an airy white-floral heart before sandalwood makes the dry-down smooth, warm and lightly powdery.
Choose this if: you want a Spicebomb-style spicy direction with a more obvious jasmine and sandalwood structure.
The fresh everyday oud
Reef 15
Similar style: Oud Wood Profile: Fresh Best for: Everyday Season: Spring / Summer Performance: Strong sillage · around 7 hours
Reef 15 is the easiest fresh everyday choice in the numbered range, contrasting sparkling bergamot and fresh convallaria with smooth woody oud.
Bergamot creates a crisp citrus opening. Fresh convallaria adds a soft white-floral character through the heart, while oud gives the base enough depth to feel refined without turning the fragrance heavy.
Choose this if: you want an Oud Wood-style direction that feels cleaner, brighter and better suited to everyday spring and summer wear.
The soft white-musk fragrance
Reef 19
Similar style: Bloom Profile: Musky Best for: Evening Season: Spring / Summer Performance: Strong sillage · around 7 hours
Reef 19 is the softest and most musky fragrance in the numbered range, built around clean white flowers and a powdery, skin-like base.
Lily of the valley creates a fresh green-floral opening before jasmine adds smooth white-floral depth. White musk gives the dry-down a clean, comforting softness.
Choose this if: you want a Bloom-style white-floral direction with a cleaner, muskier finish for easy spring and summer evenings.
The powdery saffron and amber scent
Reef 29
Similar style: Baccarat Rouge 540 Profile: Warm Best for: Date Night Season: Autumn / Winter Performance: Strong sillage · around 7 hours
Reef 29 is the powderiest warm fragrance in the numbered series, combining saffron and amber with the refined floral texture of iris.
Saffron creates a warm spicy opening with a subtle metallic edge. Iris makes the centre smooth and powdery before amber adds resinous warmth and depth in the dry-down.
Choose this if: you want a Baccarat Rouge 540-style direction that emphasises warm saffron, powdery iris and rich amber.
The sweet vanilla and amber scent
Reef 31
Similar style: Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait Profile: Warm Best for: Date Night Season: Autumn / Winter Performance: Strong sillage · around 7 hours
Reef 31 is the sweet option in the numbered series, moving from saffron into amber before settling into a smooth vanilla base.
Saffron gives the opening warm spice and a slightly metallic texture. Amber adds richness through the centre, while vanilla softens the dry-down with creamy sweetness and a powdery finish.
Choose this if: you want a Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait-style direction with more obvious vanilla sweetness than Reef 29.
The aromatic saffron and oud scent
Reef 33
Similar style: Imperial Valley Profile: Warm Best for: Evening Season: Autumn / Winter Performance: Strong sillage · around 8 hours
Reef 33 is the aromatic oud fragrance in the numbered range, combining warm Indian saffron with herbal rosemary and a smooth agarwood base.
Indian saffron gives the opening warm spice and a subtle metallic edge. Rosemary creates a clean aromatic heart before agarwood provides a woody, gently smoky finish.
Choose this if: you want an Imperial Valley-style direction with warm saffron, aromatic herbs and smooth oud for autumn and winter evenings.
The fruity oud alternative
Reef 33 White
Similar style: Baccarat Rouge 540 Profile: Warm Best for: Date Night Season: Autumn / Winter Performance: Strong sillage · around 8 hours
Reef 33 White is the fruitier and more directly oud-led counterpart to Reef 33, replacing aromatic rosemary with sweet berries.
Berries give the opening a sweet, slightly dark fruitiness. Saffron adds warm spice through the centre before oud forms a deep woody base with a smooth smoky character.
Choose this if: you want a Baccarat Rouge 540-style direction with berries, saffron and a more prominent woody oud finish.
The warm pear and amber floral
Reef 36
Similar style: Scandal Profile: Warm Best for: Date Night Season: Autumn / Winter Performance: Strong sillage · around 7 hours
Reef 36 is the warm floral date-night option, using pear blossom and ylang-ylang to soften an amber-led base.
Pear blossom creates a soft floral-fruity opening. Ylang-ylang gives the heart a creamy yellow-floral character before amber adds warmth, sweetness and a lightly powdery finish.
Choose this if: you want a Scandal-style warm floral direction with pear blossom, creamy ylang-ylang and smooth amber.

Reef Numbered Series: Final Verdict
The numbered series works because it is not one scent repeated across different bottles. Reef 2 and 6 cover two distinct floral directions; Reef 11 provides the bold woody option; Reef 15 and 19 handle fresh and musky wear; Reef 29, 31 and 36 offer different routes into amber warmth; and Reef 33 and 33 White provide two contrasting saffron-and-oud fragrances.
For everyday freshness, Reef 15 is the clearest starting point. For soft musk, choose Reef 19; for vanilla sweetness, Reef 31; for powdery amber, Reef 29; for aromatic oud, Reef 33; and for fruity oud, Reef 33 White.
