In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Majalis by The Spirit of Dubai pairs roasted Arabic coffee, chewy dates, and smoky incense against a thick pop of strawberry and rose. Built for freezing winter evenings and formal cold-weather gatherings, this heavy Oriental composition wraps warm cardamom, honey, and dark agarwood around rich tobacco leaves.

Reviews →

Migration de L'Arbre opens with a bitter splash of yuzu and citron, layered over dry juniper. As the herbal clary sage yields to a base of oak, cedar, and vetiver, the fragrance settles into an atmospheric, dry forest floor. It is designed for those who appreciate woody, unsweet green scents for spring daytime wear.
