What does Dubai smell like?

Mandarin orange and apple give a fresh, fruity brightness at first. In the heart, iris and rosewood add a soft floral and woody touch. The base is led by amber and oud, while the spicy, oriental, smoky and leathery accords give the scent a darker character.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though this rests on a small number of votes. Most voters pick it for a night out and for evenings, with fewer suggesting it for leisure or business.
