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.

Given its strong projection and rich, dense accords, Arabian Desert is less suitable for the office. It truly shines in evening settings, making it perfect for dates and formal events where its opulent character can be appreciated.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Arabian Desert opens with a distinct blend of saffron-infused warmth and a subtle kick of pink pepper, rounded by a touch of bergamot. As it settles, a rich, creamy rose emerges, intertwined with delicate jasmine, all resting on a deep, resonant base of smoky oud, resinous amber, and a lingering balsamic incense. It's an enveloping, warm, and spicy journey.
