Dubai Contes de Parfums, released in 2022, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, drawing from the sweet, east, and gourmet families. Perfumer Anne Flipo is the author behind this composition. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
The home of this fragrance is Spain. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Dubai unfolds as a layered story, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Contes de Parfums is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
In the top tier you sense sweet-fresh fruity opening notes: Dates, Mandarin and Saffron. Exactly these 3 notes build thrilling fruity juiciness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you notice Geranium, Patchouli and Sweet Accord keeping a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Fruit, Citrus, Spicy and Floral. The framework further includes Wood, Sweet, Ambery and Earthy / Mossy. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to East, Gourmet and Sweet.
Overall Dubai reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
