About This Perfume
Swiss Arabian OPULENCE OF DUBAI smells like warm spiced dark chocolate with incense smoke and cedar. Nigerian ginger, elemi resin and Italian bergamot open it bright and peppery. The heart is chocolate, Damask rose, cardamom and pink pepper, and the base is deep: bourbon vanilla, amber, Atlas cedar, coffee, vetyvalone, cypriol and frankincense.
This unisex scent is tagged for evenings in spring, fall and winter, though the community also wears it casually. Wearers describe it as woody, aromatic, warm and grounded. It lasts a long time and projects enough to fill a room. It is flagged as needing maceration, so give the bottle a few weeks after opening. Opinion is fairly split and blind-buy safety sits in the middle.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who loves dark chocolate, coffee and incense in a warm, woody scent.
- Sample first if: coffee or smoky incense tend to feel too heavy on you.
- Skip if: you want something light, fresh or skin-close.
Around $100.
