Burnt rubber opening, sweet leather drydown

Rimal opens the same way Black Gemstone does: horrific burnt rubber. As stated in my Black Gemstone review, there is no reason at this price point to have to sit through an awful opening, even if the drydown is divine. In this case, it isn't quite, but it isn't bad.

Finally after about half an hour or so, the fruity sweetness of Rimal starts to cut through. The burnt rubber is still there in the background, but now we get a sort of fruity leather. Drydown is woody/musky/sweet. Honestly smells great in the last two-thirds of its lifetime. If it wasn't for the terrible opening, this would be an 8.5 or 9 from me.

Thankfully, the price point here matches the quality of the scent better than the sculpture bottles, as 50ml of Rimal can be found at discounters for under $150. If you can stomach the opening, I'd say it's not a bad deal at that price.

A top-notch jewel

This is a strong, beautiful scent that is quite safe and easy to wear in the fall and winter. The performance is very good, thick and very oily on the skin.

The opening and first phase of its development feels like a bold, slightly smoky scent, but that vibe ends after about 1 hour. To be honest, the opening can create a negative (wrong) idea about the perfume. Then, the magic of a wonderful smell begins. I get a luxurious, sweet and lovely note of smoky saffron with incense, soft vanilla, leather, musk and nutmeg. There is also, in the background, a light nuance of rose, slightly powdery. The perfume is completely unisex.

In simple words, this is a sweet, smoky, incense and leather saffron.

Spectacular!

Rimal: An olfactory mirage or a fragrance that captures the beauty of endless deserts?

For me personally, "Dubai - Rimal (Eau de Parfum) | Nabeel" is the best fragrance from Spirit of Dubai; it embodies the beauty of endless deserts and the constant change of breathtaking dune landscapes. A mirage or is there really so much behind this fragrance? Let me summarize my personal experience after two months of experience:

- The opening of "Dubai - Rimal (Eau de Parfum) | Nabeel" has an oriental touch; the saffron in combination with the nutmeg and the slightly fruity notes convey the feeling of a perfectly orchestrated symphony. A truly "rich", spicy opening, which is already undergoing a transformation thanks to the light freshness produced in quick succession by the white flowers.

- I then perceive a sweet, earthy rose, which is still accompanied by nutmeg, and the initially spicy-fresh composition now conveys a "drier", earthy impression and yes, the leather is also added very soon; subtly at first.

- In the drydown, this leathery accord intensifies and is enveloped by a subtle oud note, which is absolutely not animalic or smelly, but is gently carried by the leather, a slightly sweet caramel and precious woods.

- The longevity is ingenious and the sillage is definitely in the upper segment; thanks to its perfect balance, the sillage is by no means penetrating, but balanced and rich.

All in all, a wonderful fragrance that fortunately does not turn out to be a mirage, but really delivers what it promises. The fragrance has become an absolute favorite in my collection and I already have a backup bottle of it! Definitely worth a test!

You are simply good, good and good again

Rimal is such a great fragrance with so much class from the Orient.
Here we have an oriental fragrance that is clearly immersed in the world of the Orient, plays with oud, combines fruity notes with sweet notes that are almost pastry-like and just plain fun. Not everyone will like it, but I would still classify it as quite pleasing.

It starts off fruity for me. But the fruity notes really come across as oriental. They are definitely accompanied by spices, but they are perfectly balanced. Some nutmeg, saffron, cinnamon and co do their best. The oud is already wafting in the background and I really like it. There are also a few flowers, not overpowering, but still noticeable. There is also this really beautiful incense.

As time goes on, more and more vanilla enters my nose. The fruity impressions recede bit by bit, the super balanced spiciness remains, the incense also remains just as beautiful, the oud is also still undercover, but it is there.
In general, it becomes sweeter and sweeter as the vanilla becomes more and more intense. It almost goes in a pastry direction.
However, the oriental impressions remain.

Oh well, I could go on and on. It's simply a great fragrance! If you don't know it yet and like oriental fragrances or want to get involved with them, you should definitely give Rimal a try.
