About This Perfume
Think smoky amber, honeyed leather with spiced rose: that is The Spirit of Dubai Majalis. It opens with frankincense, damask rose and spicy notes, moves into gaiac wood, saffron and date and settles on myrrh, woody notes and Arabian coffee. It reads unisex.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights and nights out. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike oriental fragrances.
Around $475.
