The Spirit of Dubai Oud Eau De Parfum 50ml

Crafted around pure natural Indian agarwood, this 50ml eau de parfum combines a vibrant citrus-fruity opening with a dark, resinous dry down to create a highly structured olfactory profile. Rather than relying on a single dominant note, the composition layers over forty distinct accords that evolve predictably from initial burst to long-lasting finish.

Fragrance Progression

The top notes open with sharp pineapple, juicy pear, and cold lime, immediately sharpened by black pepper, cardamom, and saffron. Within minutes, the heart emerges featuring rose damascene, jasmine, osmanthus, orchid, lily of the valley, lemon verbena (rehan), and lavender. As volatility decreases, the scent transitions into a dense base where smoked olibanum, myrrh, cypriol, and guaiacwood introduce a distinct incense-laced depth. The fragrance ultimately settles into a warm, leathery-woody trail anchored by cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, benzoin, tobacco, and vanilla.

Composition Performance

As an eau de parfum, the formulation maintains a higher concentration of aromatic compounds relative to water and alcohol, allowing the heavier base materials to function as natural fixatives. Resins like amberwood, benzoin, and myrrh bind faster-evaporating citrus and green notes to the skin, extending detectable projection and minimizing rapid fading. The inclusion of ambergris and musk supports sillage without overwhelming the initial fruity-spicy phase.

Best Applications

• Standalone wear for cooler months when balsamic, tobacco, and leathery accords project clearly
• Layering with unscented lotions or light citrus sprays to modulate the intensity of the agarwood and cypriol
• Travel or daily carry thanks to the compact 50ml glass vessel and screw-cap dispenser

Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dry environment away from UV exposure to maintain the stability of sensitive floral absolutes and oxidize-prone essential oils.
