Dubai: Gum Dream in Oud and Gold
The first spray is a slap in the face. Not gentle, not quiet. Yuzu and grapefruit jump at you like a neon light in a dark alley. The blackcurrant and grape follow immediately. However, this is by no means a fresh fruit basket. Rather, it's an overly sugary fruit gum from one of those 90s gumball machines. Cheap? Definitely not! Shameless? Oh yes. And that's exactly where the allure lies.
Then the scene shifts. The iris joins in. Looking at the fragrance pyramid, I wonder what "20% Irones" is all about. A quick Google search reveals: these are the main fragrance molecules in iris roots, and a 20% concentration is extremely high quality. Mhhh, interesting... Where was I? Ah yes, the iris comes in. It doesn't slow down the fruit gum mix; it elevates it to a new level, almost like a luxurious silk robe. Alongside, I perceive something slightly earthy/dirty as well as something distinctly woody.
Hours later, in the drydown, it's the opposite of the beginning. Chang Mai Oud, soft and dark. The red sandalwood, creamy and dense like melted chocolate. Amber, golden and heavy.
Lost Tribe claims to use only 100% natural ingredients, and you can feel that in every second. No synthetic sharpness, no artificial smoothness. Rich, real raw materials that weave together organically.
This is not a fragrance for those seeking subtle freshness. This is sweetness with backbone. It plays with childhood memories and then hits you with a sensual base that lingers long after. If you can't handle that, you should stay away. Everyone else won't be able to get rid of it.
TL/DR:
Fruity-sweet like a gum, powdery-elegant yet dirty at heart, creamy-woody in the finale. Loud, seductive, uncompromising.
