XVI

by Ibrahim Al Zoabi

Pana Dora XVI is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Ibrahim Al Zoabi. XVI opens with Artemisia and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Green, and dries down to a base of Caraway, Juniper, Labdanum, and Patchouli. Pana Dora's XVI carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Pana Dora XVI is a beast, a bold, confident statement that's definitely not for everyone. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans raving about its unique gourmand woody depth and others recoiling from a sharp, almost 'nasty' edge. Blind buying is a terrible idea.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'nuclear' projection and longevity, XVI is far too dominant for an office setting. Its rich, opulent character and seductive sweetness make it ideal for date nights and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for cooler-weather casual wear.

About

XVI opens with a surprising fresh, almost fruity-berry kick from artemisia and bergamot, defying its woody heart. It quickly evolves into a complex scent where green notes mingle with a spiced, warm, and somewhat gourmand core of caraway, labdanum, and patchouli. The dry down is particularly celebrated, a rich blend of guaiac wood and frankincense, with an addictive sweetness that some liken to a berry-filled croissant or egg custard.
