What does Dubai - Majalis smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though it stays unisex.

It opens with Damask rose, frankincense, bergamot and cardamom, while apple and peach add a sweet fruitiness. Saffron, sandalwood and benzoin lead the heart, with date and clove softening the spice. Oud, myrrh, leather and vanilla dominate the base, and honey and Arabian coffee carry it into a smoky, sweet finish.
