You definitely know Dubai - Bahar fragrance

If you have visited one of the Gulf countries, or Dubai in particular, then you have certainly smelled this fragrance or one of its imitations everywhere, from the first wealthy people of the Gulf to simple workers of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationality.

All the scents you can imagine in one bottle... but it tends towards creamy, sugary floral perfumes, and I don't know how it is classified as a Fresh-Aquatic fragrance?

Dubai - Bahar is far from being a Fresh-Aquatic fragrance ...it is a luxurious fragrance, but it tends towards women's perfumes and Very expensive perfume.

Some men may love this fragrance, but I’m not one of them.

Final evaluation: A floral, sugary, sweet, creamy women’s perfume that is very expensive and definitely not suitable for men.

The first review hits the nail on the head

Today I finally had the opportunity to test a few fragrances from Nabeel.

In addition to The Spirit of Dubai - Abjar, there was also Dubai - Bahar Eau de Parfum.

The very first review by Ischglroi sums it up perfectly:
My first thought when spraying it on was actually "It smells like Invictus!!!" or invictus auqa!

Shortly afterwards, I wanted to read up on the fragrance notes here and lo and behold: a single review - and it also emphasizes the similarity of the fragrance! That's amazing!

Now to the fragrance: unlike some other Nabeel fragrances, the Dubai - Bahar Eau de Parfum is very suitable for everyday use.
As it says in the answer to the first review, Nabeel's fragrance was launched in 2015, while the mainstream followed in 2016 with a similar scent.

I think that's a shame... the fragrance is really great! Super balanced and it smells high-quality.
However, and this is the problem: everyone who smells this fragrance will initially think of a 0815 mainstream fragrance that you have already smelled on every corner.

So you have to say: the mainstream has ruined this fragrance... spending more than 250€ is unfortunately a waste. Unless you really value having the "original", which has shaped all other mainstream fragrances. But then that's only for your own conscience, every ordinary consumer will think of invictus.

In terms of performance, however, it has to be said that Dubai - Bahar Eau de Parfum puts all others in the shade. The silage could be even stronger, but it's good as it is! Not obtrusive, but still perceptible.
Another positive aspect is that, in
The mainstream, there is a real emphasis on quality here. As an experienced parfumo, you can smell this quality. While the typical Douglas product is full of synthetics, the fragrances here are literally worn. They all play around each other and create a wonderful fragrance picture.

A really very good fragrance that has been copied far too often.
