Ubar Amouage 2009

This fragrance is named after the city of Ubar in southern Oman, which was inhabited between 2,700 and 300 BC. Ubar was a beautiful, rich trading city that sank into the sand and disappeared into the desert...
Ubar is one of the most magical scents I have ever tasted. Magical, timeless, enchanting. Dense, strong, with excellent projection, at once theatrical and mystical.... It starts with a little citrus, orange, mandarin, then comes ylang ylang, white flowers with accented jasmine and develops patchouli and vanilla in the base notes. Very strong and very durable on the skin, +12 hours, and on clothes it lasts for days. Flacon looks precious and noble.
Maybe a little too intense for summer and heat, perfect for other seasons like autumn and winter. Very chic, elegant and very feminine!
