AnimalWhat does Dubai Black Sapphire smell like?
Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good. With no season or occasion votes, nothing more can be said about when to wear it; it is clearly not tied to one gender.
It opens with saffron, beeswax and neroli, and the heart brings pepper, cedarwood, gurjum balsam and Turkish rose. The base of vetiver, oud, Siam benzoin, tolu balm and sandalwood settles it onto a woody, balsamic ground. Le Labo Rose 31 and Héritage Berbère Basra have a close profile.
