Al-Jazeera Perfumes Damascus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Dominique Ropion. Damascus opens with Bergamot, Jasmine, and Tuberose, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Al-Jazeera Perfumes's Damascus carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Ropion creation is a complex beast, praised for its fresh yet deep character that takes you on a journey. While it's a bit much for the office without careful application, it's an undeniable compliment-getter and worth the price for its impressive longevity and sillage.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its potent performance and complex, sensual floral-vanilla profile make it less suitable for typical office wear unless applied very lightly. However, its long-lasting, inviting aroma is perfect for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Damascus opens with a bold, almost sharp hit of jasmine and tuberose, brightened by a zesty bergamot. As it settles, a lush, creamy heart of orange blossom, rich rose, and sweet peach emerges, softening the initial intensity. The base is a smooth, warm embrace of vanilla and sandalwood, grounded by a subtle, clean musk that lingers beautifully on the skin for hours.
