About This Perfume
The Spirit of Dubai Diwan comes across as smoky rose and cardamom syrupy amber, leathery warmth. It opens with frankincense, Bulgarian rose and Turkish rose, moves into Oud, amber and earthy notes and settles on balsamic notes, benzoin and caramel. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
