Dubai - Meydan (Eau de Parfum)

Its longevity and sillage are both rated very strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out as the favoured occasions, while summer comes last. It reads more masculine and classic than feminine or modern.

It opens with cypress, grapefruit, bergamot and cardamom, while cinnamon and saffron deepen the spice. In the heart, tobacco, oud and cedarwood build a woody base, and the dry-down settles into a smoky, animal warmth of leather, amber and vanilla. Penhaligon's Halfeti and Montale Oudrising have a close profile.
