Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dahab EDP
Dahab is a unique unisex scent combining spicy and woody accords for a sophisticated presence without overpowering.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sinai City EDP
Sinai City chases MiN New York's Dahab - that deep aquatic-incense opening turning into spicy saffron, oud and smoky woods. Wearers call it a solid likeness that lasts about as long as the original, though the Dahab stays a little more airy and elegant where the dupe leans heavier and earthier.

Its moderate intensity and complex notes make Dahab ideal for romantic dates and formal events, while being versatile enough for casual occasions. It's less suited for athletic environments due to its richer profile.
