Contes de Parfums Dubai is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Anne Flipo. Dubai opens with Date, Mandarin, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Geranium, and Cotton Candy, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Contes de Parfums's Dubai carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a lovely fruity oriental gourmand, but you pay a hefty price for something that performs like a body mist. A skin scent that quickly disappears, so do sample before you splash the cash.

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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its soft sillage and short longevity make it unsuitable for daily office wear or energetic sports. However, its delicate, intimate nature works well for dates, casual outings, or more subdued formal events where a 'loud' fragrance isn't desired.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Imagine succulent dates and a hint of zesty mandarin, subtly spiced with saffron, opening this opulent scent. It softens into a heart of delicate geranium and fluffy cotton candy, avoiding any aggressive patchouli notes, before settling into a warm, creamy embrace of amber and vanilla, grounded by a touch of oakmoss. It's a sweet, comforting aroma with an undeniably chic edge.
