Our verdict on Dubai Gold: Acquired

This is a grown-up fragrance, commanding attention with its unique, boozy-woody character. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if you're after something bold and luxurious, Dubai Gold delivers, especially if you can snag it at a decent price.

About

Dubai Gold kicks off with a spirited, boozy splash of brandy and a hint of bitter orange, quickly met by the exotic intrigue of saffron. As it settles, a rich, dry woodiness emerges, led by guaiac wood and cedar, layered with a whisper of ginger. The base mellows into a creamy blend of sandalwood, patchouli, and warm amber, cushioned by a soft, alluring musk, creating an opulent and long-lasting scent trail.
