About

Abu Dhabi opens with a spicy kick of pink pepper and cardamom, brightened by ylang-ylang and marigold. As it settles, the heart unfolds-a luscious bouquet of Taif rose mingles with the warm embrace of oud, jasmine, and creamy tuberose. The base is a sumptuous blend of sweet vanilla, honey, and earthy vetiver, with a whisper of deep coffee and pistachio for that added intrigue. This scent evolves, transforming over time into a rich, velvety dry down that leaves a lasting impression.
