Every week we scan Iraqi perfume stores to see where the Asten line is priced best, and this week (September 15–22, 2026) the picture is unusually consistent. All ten of the most popular Asten fragrances we tracked are 100 ml Eau de Parfum bottles, and every single one of them is available at 33,560 IQD from two different stores.
But here is where it gets interesting: "same best price" does not mean "same price everywhere." For each of these ten bottles, the most expensive listing in the market reaches 44,750 IQD. That is a gap of 11,190 IQD on a single bottle — a 33.3% spread between the cheapest and the priciest store for the exact same product. Two minutes of comparing before you pay is worth more than ten thousand dinars in your pocket.
So here is this week's list, grouped by who each fragrance is actually made for.
FOR MEN
Noble By Asten For Men - Eau De Parfum - 100 ml
Fresh citrus and bergamot open the show, then lavender and rose soften things in the middle, and a warm musk and patchouli base carries it for hours. This is the safest pick of the three men's scents this week — clean enough for the office, warm enough for an evening out.
Opulent Onyx By Asten For Men - Eau de Parfum - 100 ml
A leather opening that immediately feels dressed-up, followed by a spicy amber heart and a base of labdanum, musk, and cedarwood. If you want a scent that reads expensive without shouting, this is the one to test first. Best suited to evenings, dinners, and cooler weather.
Inventors Conquer Noir by Asten for men - Eau De Parfum, 100ml
Lavender, cardamom, and black pepper up top, incense and patchouli in the heart, and a vanilla-driven base. The boldest of the men's trio — a good fit if you already like smoky, resinous fragrances and want something with real presence in a room.
UNISEX
Portofino Blu Secret By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum, 100ml
Maté, cardamom, and bergamot lead into a heart of prune, osmanthus, and jasmine, with a comfortable base underneath. Bright and slightly sweet — one of the easiest everyday wears on this list, and a solid option for warmer days.
Splendid 300 By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum,100ml
Cardamom, iris, and violet open a warm, woody composition built on spicy and resinous notes. It has that wide-sky, desert-wind feel — richer than the fresh scents above, but still wearable during the day if you apply lightly.
Oud Mineral By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum ,100ml
Oud meets marine freshness here: aquatic notes and pepper open it, cedarwood carries the middle, and the oud stays present without turning heavy. This is the pick for anyone who likes the idea of oud but finds classic oriental ouds too dense for daily wear.
Eau Du Pacifique By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum, 100ml
Green almond, star anise, and orange at the top, then white peach, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, finishing with bourbon vanilla and white musk. Fruity-floral with a soft landing — a dependable gift option because it rarely offends anyone.
Visionary By Asten For Unisex- Eau de Parfum ,100ml
Fresh, spicy, and woody, and openly inspired by Creed's Viking. If you have smelled the original, you already know the direction: masculine-leaning but marketed as unisex, versatile enough for work and occasions, and long-lasting for the price.
Lara By Asten For Unisex - Eau De Parfum ,100 ml
Citrus brightness, a floral heart, and a warm amber-musk base, with a traditional Arabian-inspired character. A reliable daily scent that works in Iraqi weather and layers well if you like to mix.
FOR WOMEN
Blanc De Noir By Asten For Women - Eau de Parfum - 100ml
Light florals at the opening, a soft musky bouquet in the middle, and a subtle woody base. It is the quietest fragrance on this list, which is exactly the point — good for daytime, work, and anyone who prefers a scent that stays close to the skin.
PRICE CONTEXT FOR THIS WEEK
All ten products sit at 33,560 IQD at their cheapest store, and all ten are listed by two stores, with the ceiling price hitting 44,750 IQD. That means the only real decision this week is not which fragrance to buy, but where to buy it. A few practical notes:
First, check delivery. A store with the lowest sticker price but a paid delivery fee can end up costing the same as the second store — especially if you are ordering a single bottle.
Second, remember what you are getting. These are all 100 ml Eau de Parfum bottles, a higher concentration than EDT, so the cost per millilitre at 33,560 IQD is genuinely low by local standards.
Third, watch stock. The unisex scents and the men's evening picks tend to move fastest, and prices on this line refresh weekly — a price that is good today is not guaranteed to hold next week.
Finally, manage expectations on the "inspired by" bottles. Visionary, for example, follows a well-known designer composition. These are not counterfeits, but they are interpretations, so judge them on how they wear on your skin rather than on the name they echo.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This is a good week to buy Asten in Iraq. Ten popular fragrances, one clear best price of 33,560 IQD, and a market spread wide enough that checking before you click can save you up to 11,190 IQD per bottle. Pick your scent by season and occasion, confirm the store's delivery cost, and you are getting solid value for a 100 ml EDP.
