In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Arabian Desert by Alfred Dunhill is a Oriental Floral fragrance for men. Arabian Desert was launched in 2019. Top notes are Saffron, Pink Pepper and Bergamot; middle notes are Rose and Night Blooming Jasmine; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Amber and Incense.

Reviews →

Opeer 16 opens with a heavy blast of smoky incense and dark agarwood. It is a dense, oriental scent that feels suited for cold winter nights. As the fragrance settles on the skin, a dry amber note emerges to warm up the composition, while subtle floral notes prevent it from feeling entirely industrial.
