The bottle itself is a work of art, beautifully crafted with intricate gold detailing and a luxurious feel. It is a true representation of the lavishness and grandeur that Dubai is known for.

In conclusion, Rimal by Nabeel is a fragrance that embodies the spirit of Dubai, capturing its essence in a bottle.

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!

Wow effect
The Rimal..

I had heard a lot about the Rimal before but never got my hands on it. It is now available at certain perfumeries. So I set off to try it... and it didn't just stay with the smell. Of course it had to go straight into my collection.
A very special sweet oriental fragrance.
I also smell a powderiness but absolutely not comparable to Erba pura by Xerjoff. Here you get more dry fruits, woody, oud you perceive. I think the fragrance is a "gift" for the price. If the Rimal were in a Roja bottle, it would be 4x as expensive.

Visiting my cousin
I smelled this incredible one for the first time and had to think straight back to my childhood when I was visiting my cousin. There just the combination of all the scents of the people, the dessert, the flowers outside always gave this scent in my mind and I immediately had to think back to that time.

The bottle I must say is very beautiful , like the others of Spirit of Dubai also very creative and beautiful . There is an area on the bottle that is supposed to remind me of the sand of Dubai, even though I have never been to Dubai, it at least reminds me of sand :).

It is like almost always with SoD oud in the fragrance but a very nice oud meets saffron, cinnamon, vanilla and rose. Musk does not come out so much for me, but fortunately also because musk is mostly animalic and that would also ruin the fragrance. Towards the end, especially the camarell/sandalwood notes come out which I don't notice much at the beginning. At the beginning it smells very strong to me cinnamon / vanilla and rosy / floral notes whether it is the rose, white flower or the patchouli note, I can not say. All I can say about the fragrance is that no matter what notes it smells like, it smells fantastic and I think everyone will like it.

Let's come to the performance, so I can only say that it is very good as usual for all other fragrances from SoD, but here it stands out again and is really very good, like Alexandria 2 or Nishane Nef's level.

I actually only wanted to test the Rimal against Althair in the performance and therefore sprayed it on the right arm and the Althair on the left arm and I noticed how well you can layer both fragrances together. They both perform very well and smell really good together and complement each other perfectly.

In conclusion, I can only say that for the price you get something very good and something different in this fragrance direction that you don't often smell with very good performance and a very nice fragrance that is also perfect for a date, whether for men or women.

Winters Favorite

A first impression like no other...
Pure olfactory luxury experience.

My winter favorite,
Snow-covered luxury stay in Switzerland,
a perfect fragrance for an unforgettable journey.
Arrived in the new Rangerover, the new car scent pulls along.

"Dubai - Rimal (Eau de Parfum) | Nabeel" is a masterpiece
and it blew me away,
an instant wish list candidate
for the cooler days.

It starts nobly leathery
and with gourmand sweet notes,
but it does not overdo it.
In my opinion, the fragrance pyramid is experienced
experienced from bottom to top.
The saffron is only perceptible shortly afterwards
lends a certain luxuriousness
combined with the rose and the oud, which unfolds
and lasts for hours, here you get something
for your money.
A creaminess carries the fragrance and reminds me of
Oud Save the King Eau de Parfum in a more developed
even more intense and impressive way, a little spicier at that,
which really offers an interesting fragrance experience.
Due to the notes in the drydown, I also perceive a similarity
To the Shaghaf Oud Elixir,
but more noble and complex, the leather
as well as the musk stands out, it is intensified.
A fragrance experience that you simply have to experience!
The durability is worth its price,
still perceptible on clothing even 2 days after spraying it on.
The sillage is also not to be denied to the fragrance, you should be careful with the dosage.
The bottle and the packaging are also pure luxury, I first had to warm up to the bottle,
i got a slight vintage luxury vibe at first, but the more I see the bottle and smell the fragrances
This experience enhances the overall picture and in a collection it makes quite a statement.

Rosendo 5 base makes sense. This is more spicy though. A rubbery saffron. Tobacco? Suitable for european noses i guess. Leather/smoke hints

Fruity & warm spicy top/open (~95% FDB's Secret Tryst). On skin, it's screechy-rubbery saffron w/ animalic oud & some styrax. Awful blend.

After a pungent (rubbery) spicy-smoky opening, this thick and leathery, oriental spicy-woody fragrance, settles to a warm musky-woody base.
