One of the fast-growing GCC lifestyle platform Kanaa has announced the launch of its fragrance and perfume category ahead of Eid Al Adha, a period traditionally associated with gifting and increased consumer spending across Saudi Arabia.
Fragrances continue to hold strong cultural significance across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, particularly during festive occasions where perfumes are commonly exchanged as gifts among family and friends. The growing demand for convenient and curated online shopping experiences is also reshaping how consumers discover and purchase fragrance products.
Kanaa’s expansion into the category reflects the platform’s broader focus on building a lifestyle-driven digital commerce experience tailored to evolving customer preferences in the region. The launch introduces a curated fragrance offering designed for both personal use and gifting, while aligning with seasonal shopping trends during Eid Al Adha.
“Fragrances have always been closely connected to gifting culture in the region, especially during occasions like Eid,” said Kartik Bhatt, CEO at Kanaa. “As we continue expanding the platform, we want to introduce categories that feel relevant to how customers shop and celebrate, while maintaining a seamless and trusted experience.”
The launch also supports increasing demand for convenience-led retail experiences, particularly during high-shopping periods. Through features such as same-day delivery and a mobile-first shopping experience, Kanaa aims to simplify the gifting journey for customers purchasing during the Eid season.
As Saudi Arabia’s digital commerce sector continues to evolve, lifestyle categories such as fragrances, beauty, and personal care are becoming an increasingly important part of online consumer spending. Platforms are also placing greater emphasis on curated discovery, reliability, and customer experience as competition across the sector continues to grow.
Kanaa’s entry into fragrances forms part of its broader roadmap to continue expanding its lifestyle offering while building long-term customer trust through service quality, convenience, and localized shopping experiences.
