What does Dubai - Rimal (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its strength and longevity are rated very high, and the sillage is strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer plays a small part. It is mostly recommended for evenings and nights out. Though unisex, more voters read it as masculine.

The top opens with cinnamon, saffron and nutmeg for spice, softened by vanilla and fruity notes. In the heart, rose, ylang-ylang and frankincense add a floral, resinous layer. The base leans on oud, amber and leather, with caramel rounding it off. Moresque Scirocco and Nabeel Maghateer have a close profile.
