Every week we scan the perfume listings on TajPrice to see what Iraqi shoppers are actually buying. This week, September 15–22, 2026, one brand dominated the Fragrance category across all its subcategories: Asten. And there is a pattern worth knowing before you spend — all ten of the most popular Asten bottles right now are 100 ml Eau de Parfum, and all ten start at exactly the same price.
The price picture: 33,560 IQD versus 44,750 IQD
Here is the detail that matters most for your wallet. Every product on this list is carried by two stores, with a lowest price of 33,560 IQD and a highest of 44,750 IQD. That is a spread of 33.3%, or 11,190 IQD on a single bottle. Same bottle, same size, same concentration — the only variable is which store you open first. Before you pay, compare both listings on TajPrice and check the delivery fee to your city. Baghdad, Basra, Erbil and Mosul rates differ from seller to seller, and a cheaper sticker price can vanish once shipping is added.
Best Asten picks for men this week
Noble By Asten For Men - Eau De Parfum - 100 ml opens with fresh citrus and bergamot, moves into lavender and rose, then settles on warm musk and patchouli. It is the easiest of the men's trio to wear to work or university — clean at the start, soft and slightly earthy by evening.
Opulent Onyx By Asten For Men - Eau de Parfum - 100 ml leads with leather, turns spicy and amber in the heart, and closes on labdanum, musk and cedarwood. This is the evening option: heavier, more formal, and it sits closer to the skin than the citrus-forward choices.
Inventors Conquer Noir by Asten for men - Eau De Parfum, 100ml is the boldest of the three, with lavender, cardamom and black pepper up top, incense and patchouli in the middle, and vanilla underneath. Best for cold evenings and occasions where you want the fragrance noticed.
Unisex fragrances are the real story
Nine of the ten best performers do not sit in a men's or women's box — they are unisex, which is exactly why they sell so well in Iraq. One bottle covers more people in the household.
Portofino Blu Secret By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum, 100ml blends maté, cardamom and bergamot with prune, osmanthus and jasmine. Fruity and bright, very comfortable in the heat.
Splendid 300 By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum,100ml is warm and woody, built around cardamom, iris and violet with resinous notes. It has a dry, desert-air character that suits cooler nights.
Oud Mineral By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum ,100ml pairs oud with marine freshness — aquatic notes and pepper on top, cedarwood behind. Ideal if you love oud but find the heavy versions too much for daytime.
Eau Du Pacifique By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum, 100ml goes in the opposite direction: green almond, star anise and orange first, white peach, ylang-ylang and jasmine in the middle, bourbon vanilla and white musk at the base. Sweet, soft and easy to like.
Visionary By Asten For Unisex- Eau de Parfum ,100ml is a fresh, spicy, woody composition widely compared to Creed's Viking. It is the most versatile bottle here — office, dinner, travel.
Lara By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum ,100 ml brings citrus brightness, a floral heart and a warm amber-musk base. A traditional Arabian-inspired profile that works as an everyday signature, especially in autumn.
Blanc De Noir By Asten For Women - Eau de Parfum - 100ml is the one dedicated women's scent in this week's top ten. Light florals at the opening, a soft musk bouquet in the middle, and a quiet woody base. Gentle enough for daily wear and for layering with a stronger oud.
What to check before you buy
First, confirm the concentration — every product here is EDP, so expect longer wear than an eau de toilette, but performance still varies by scent family. Second, look at the seller rating and how many orders they have completed. Third, check whether the listing is for a sealed 100 ml bottle or a tester. Fourth, remember that a 33.3% price gap between two stores is unusually wide for identical stock, so it is worth two extra clicks to look at both.
At 33,560 IQD, Asten sits in the affordable-but-serious range: a full 100 ml EDP for roughly the price of a mid-range designer 50 ml. If you have been waiting to try the brand, this week is a good moment — stock is available at two stores per product, and the savings from picking the right listing are real.
