Princess of Dubai

A spiced gourmand, with an unusual opening: marigold. Marigold is that orange garden flower that smells of bitter grass and dried honey.

— Paired with orange, lemon and sage, it gives an aromatic and slightly rustic start — nothing sweet to begin with.

— The heart swings over frankly: cardamom, cinnamon, praline, tuberose. This is where the fragrance becomes a spiced dessert, with the tuberose giving it floral height.

— The base is warm and dense: black amber, patchouli, vanilla, white musk. Black amber is the deepest version of amber — resinous, a little smoky.

What makes the bottle interesting is that contrast between a herbaceous start and a pastry-shop ending. Nobody expects that journey.

Average to long wear. Autumn, winter, evenings.

A rich fruity floral, with a heart that does all the work: heliotrope.

— The opening is generous with fruit: blackcurrant, passion fruit, grape, backed by peony and rose. It is fresh, tart, juicy — the kind of start that pleases immediately.

— Then heliotrope takes over. It is the flower that smells of almond and talcum powder at the same time, and it is what gives this fragrance its soft, enveloping side. Tuberose and jasmine accompany it as white flowers.

— The base is sober and well judged: musk, patchouli, cedar. It holds the fragrance up without weighing it down, and it lets the heliotrope stay perceptible for a long time.

Who it is for: someone who likes fruity fragrances but finds that most of them stop at candy. Here the fruit is only the way in.

Average longevity, moderate projection. Spring, summer, and early autumn.

A musk-rose, simple and direct. What is certain: the direction is clear.

— A herbaceous and spiced opening: fresh up front.

— The heart is musk and rose: musky floral in the middle. Musk is the material that carries the fragrance. In perfumery it is what gives the impression of clean skin and of linen fresh out of the dryer. Paired with rose, it makes a classic, comfortable accord that many people like without being able to name it.

— The base is woody and vanillic: warm at the end.

Who it is for: someone looking for a soft fragrance to wear every day, who is not asking to be impressed.

I am not going to invent the materials the house does not publish.

Average longevity, discreet projection. All year.
