Dmitry Bortnikoff launched Dubai in 2024 as an oriental fougere centered on authentic Indian oud. The scent opens with a sharp flash of green apple, sour bergamot, and spicy ginger before settling into a dense heart of passionfruit, rose, and cardamom. The base anchors down with dark leather, nagarmotha, patchouli, and smooth sandalwood. Unlike synthetic oud compositions that rely on heavy woody aromachemicals, this perfume pairs real botanical depth with tart citrus top notes. It projects with noticeable weight during cool fall evenings and crisp spring days. Wearers who enjoy dark resinous woods balanced by fruit shisha vibes will find this a compelling option for formal gatherings. Show less
