Le Chameau Burj Dubai Melina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Burj Dubai Melina opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, Nutmeg, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Musk, Patchouli, Rose, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Incense. Le Chameau's Burj Dubai Melina carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Seriously polarising, Melina is a full-on rose-oud-wannabe with a fruity twist. You'll either adore its bold complexity or find its synthetic edge a bit much. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

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 Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built on woody, floral and aromatic - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold, woody-floral profile makes it a bit much for the office. It shines brightest on an evening date or for special occasions where its commanding presence can be appreciated, though it might be a tad heavy for a purely formal setting.

About

Burj Dubai Melina kicks off with a punchy, almost jammy blend of rhubarb and litchi, sharpened by a hint of bergamot and spice. This fruity vibrancy quickly intertwines with a rich heart of rose and peony, backed by an intriguing, earthy patchouli. As it settles, a woody depth emerges with cedar, vetiver, and a smoky whisper of incense, cushioned by creamy vanilla and a noticeable synthetic musk that gives it a potent, almost Middle Eastern vibe.
