Floral Animalic Bombshell
Ubar is an animalic bombshell fragrance. Positively swoon worthy. Actually this wears fairly linearly on me, its mostly civet, ambergris, jasmine, ylang ylang and sandalwood from beginning to end. But oh, what a stunning accord this creates! Rich, floral, vintage and smooth with an overtly sensual vibe, though at times I also catch a whiff of what smells like a plush nag champa note to me. I agree with those who have said Ubar will lend the wear an aura of mystery.
As I wear Ubar, I notice that it bares a striking resemblance to Samsara. No this is not a dupe, but it is clearly of the same family---built off the same core of jasmine, ylang ylang and sandalwood. If you like one you are rather likely to like the other, though Samsara has a large dose of vanilla in the drydown and Ubar has way more animalic notes going on.
Actually the more I think about it Ubar is the half way point between Jean Patou's symphonic animalic floral, Joy, and Guerlain's Samsara.
This is a powerhouse, even dabbing a small amount produces a huge cloud of scent and sillage. Do not overspray. Less is more with this one. Prepare to turn heads.
