Designed by perfumer Tzivia Segall for Atelier Segall & Barutti, this oriental spicy fragrance demands freezing November nights and leather jackets.

Épices Cuir L'ecense opens with a heavy splash of dark rum, tart raspberry, and medicinal saffron that cuts through crisp evening air. The dark liquor top rapidly settles into a dense, smoky heart where myrrh, frankincense olibanum, and dry cinnamon take charge. As the fragrance warms on skin over the first hour, the resinous core blends into a heavy base of raw leather, dark amber, and smoky agarwood oud. The texture stays dry and balsamic rather than syrupy sweet. Herbal thyme and earthy cannabis add a slightly rough green edge to the background, keeping the resinous spice core from feeling overly heavy or cluttered. It is a bold, dark composition built for cold weather wear.

This woody spicy scent opens with a sharp burst of black pepper and caraway before settling into a cold, mineralic incense. Unlike traditional amber scents that feel thick and sticky, this one is bone-dry and transparent. A strong base of Somalian olibanum, Virginia cedar, and immortelle holds the scent on the skin. It acts as an atmospheric layer best suited for quiet autumn days or crisp winter evenings. The dry down is deeply calming, clean, and slightly reminiscent of old stone churches. It works wonderfully for anyone who prefers quiet, personal scents over loud, sweet profiles. It is a unique piece that belongs in a collector's cabinet, making it a great candidate to sample before buying.

Abjar by The Spirit of Dubai opens with a sharp burst of aromatic cypress, pine needles, and spicy nutmeg before settling into a dense heart of birch leaf and natural leather.

The base brings out heavy animalic castoreum and civet alongside dark tobacco and warm amber. It projects heavily in crisp freezing weather, making it a bold statement piece for black-tie gatherings, formal evening events, or cold winter nights when you want an unyielding woody presence.

The Spirit of Dubai Oud opens with a sharp burst of bitter lime, pungent saffron, and prickly black pepper before dropping straight into dense Indian agarwood. The wood here smells raw and medicinal at first, heavily saturated with dark leather, smoky incense, and dry cypriol oil. As the initial sharpness burns off, sweet pineapple and damask rose soften the bitter edges without turning the composition sugary. Warm amber, bitter almond, and earthy patchouli emerge in the heart to give the woody accord a thick, resinous base. On cold winter evenings or during formal outdoor gatherings, a single spray projects across several feet and clings tenaciously to wool coats and heavy fabrics. It stays dark, spicy, and noticeably animalic throughout its long life on skin.
