The little one from back then, which is quite big today!
Everyone knows that one person who wore the ugly glasses in childhood, often the outsider.. 20 years later it happens to everyone.. WOW who is that? Is that not the glasses snake - but that is exactly HIM/HER!!! Mouth closed, swallow once and then you start to wonder how that was possible, from UII - HUI! That's exactly how it was with this fragrance. For me, it starts off quite piercing, really not my thing. Over time, it becomes soft in its own way but still strongly fresh - magnificent!

Dubai Abraj - Olfactory Interpolation
Three different bottles tried, three different scents explored.
On one side:
A very beautiful fullness, intertwined and reminiscent for me of Creed Green Irish Tweed or Acqua di Parma Quercia. With a perceivability of the scent lasting for many hours.
And on the other side:
Extremely flat, with only a brief freshness and an almost direct transition to woodiness. Garnished with a longevity of just a few hours.
And the third attempt in the bunch?
Right in between!

Now one could approach this mathematically and say the extreme values have been found and further attempts fall in between, but I would rather leave the solution to this equation out...
Accordingly, I would also prefer to leave out the rating. Too many variables and too few constants to provide a serious assessment.

Oldschool Freshness at the Start and Then a Soul Warmer
At the beginning, Abraj presents itself as a fresh summer companion with old school vibes!

It starts citrusy and spicy with bergamot, petitgrain, cardamom, and lavender. The lavender, in particular, brings a good dose of old money vibes before the fragrance gently and thoughtfully drifts into creaminess. Here, it slightly reminds me of Renaissance by Xerjoff.

A good scent that is definitely office-friendly.

Sillage and longevity are very good for a summer fragrance.

Spirit of Dubai in "office-safe"? Yes, that works with Abraj! Vintage-Freshie with Depth!
The Dubai - Abraj Eau de Parfum is one of the SoDs that doesn't get much attention. However, it’s not easy to step out of the shadow of so many grand fragrances that the house delivers. Nevertheless, this scent definitely deserves more recognition, as it is very European in its character despite its oriental origins and finally office-appropriate!

How do I perceive the Dubai - Abraj Eau de Parfum and why might a purchase be worthwhile?

- Well, the fragrance has a magnificent opening; vintage-like, yes, but multi-layered. Alongside the fresh bergamot, numerous supporting notes join in; a bit of spice, a hint of green, citrusy bitterness from petitgrain, and overall, with the other notes, a noble touch of vintage freshness comes through (pine is also noticeably present). This blends in the next phase with a bit of rose and various floral notes, but everything is very subtle, with the spicy-green freshness remaining the main player.

- Only in the drydown does a woody-creamy note emerge, which does not completely take away this freshness but rather complements it brilliantly. Also well integrated in the drydown is this mossy nuance, which never lets this green undertone fade away completely and maintains the overall freshness and professionalism. Please don’t be alarmed by the cypriol and oud; these are extremely minimized in the background, supporting the fragrance but are not perceivable as such, especially not for untrained noses; an untrained person wouldn’t even notice it if they didn’t know. A beautiful harmonious drydown with a lovely oriental touch, but not too much, so this fragrance is effectively suitable for everyday wear all year round.

- The longevity and sillage are both top-notch for this type of DNA; I can’t complain at all, the fragrance radiates for several hours and lasts long.

In summary, the Dubai - Abraj Eau de Parfum is indeed a brilliant everyday fragrance for the office and a thousand other situations, which is simultaneously European in its flair but never forgets its oriental roots. If you want a bit of vintage freshness and want to test a slightly more complex freshie, you’ve come to the right place.

Seductive Timeless Elegance - "Do I know you from somewhere?"
The fragrances of The Spirit of Dubai

have something magical about them 

just like this scent.

It transports me to my past
evoking déjà vus.
 Memories from my childhood
surface,
 ones I had almost forgotten.

"Do I know you from somewhere?"
And although I am sure that these fragrances did not exist back then,

I know: That is exactly the reason.

Abraj is incredibly seductive
and elegant.
 Rose dominates
and although I am not a big fan of rose,

The Spirit of Dubai manages to make me love their rose.

High-quality, finely balanced.


A perfect balance 
of spice and sweetness,

of naturalness and elegance

woody and floral,

citrusy and aromatic at the same time.
The opening: incredibly beautifully done.

The drydown: long-lasting, comforting.

A fresh citric opening with saffron, cardamom, patchouli and a hint of leather. In the drydown, a fresh rose, a soft oud and some vanilla.

After an uplifting spicy-citric opening, this clean and dry, spicy floral-woody Spring fragrance, settles to a smooth earthy-woody base.

I expected more complex, but very pleasant. Fresh, citric and spicy. Signature

Interesting and multi-layered. To me, it’s almost aquatic, going in the direction of AdG Essenza with a spicy twist, especially on the skin.

This reminds me of Aventus by Creed, but with a lot more depth.

This stuff is awesome, I truly don’t understand the low scores. And for the price, I’d say it’s worth every penny.

A strong but chaotic fragrance with overwhelming patchouli, lacks balance and refinement.

Opens fresh with some aldehydes, florals & mild sweetness. Dries spicy (elemi?) w/ florals and mild patchouli. Has a mature feminine feel.
