ResinousWhat does Dubai - Fakhama smell like?
It opens with coffee, orange and bergamot for a fruity lift, while cardamom and rose add a floral, spiced edge. The heart leans on saffron, sandalwood and vanilla; in the base, amber, caramel, leather and frankincense settle it into a warm, resinous, slightly animalic finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out best. Masculine leads the character votes, though feminine draws a fair share. The Spirit of Dubai Narjesi and Nabeel Maghateer have a close profile.
