Sinai City

Perfume Parlour Sinai City is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Sinai City opens with Incense, Oud, and Sea Water, settles into a heart of Pepper, Saffron, and exotic woods, and dries down to a base of Nutmeg, Cumin, and Amber. Perfume Parlour's Sinai City carries a Statement verdict, a incense-led wear.

Sinai City chases MiN New York's Dahab - that deep aquatic-incense opening turning into spicy saffron, oud and smoky woods. Wearers call it a solid likeness that lasts about as long as the original, though the Dahab stays a little more airy and elegant where the dupe leans heavier and earthier.

About

Sinai City opens cool and atmospheric: a smoky incense and oud lifted by an unexpected sea-notes freshness, that distinctive dark-aquatic start the MiN New York is known for. The heaviness of the incense soon takes over, joined by a fiery saffron, black pepper and exotic woods that pull it into spiced-desert territory. The drydown is warm and a touch animalic with nutmeg, cumin and a soft amber. Set against the Dahab it imitates, this Perfume Parlour version captures the incense-saffron-oud-aquatic story faithfully - reviewers find it smells very much alike and wears about as long - but the original stays a fraction more airy and refined, where the dupe sits heavier and earthier, with the synthetic oud a little more obvious. It is still a bold, distinctive, ritualistic scent - mysterious and grown-up - making a striking cold-weather evening option that delivers Dahab's spiced-incense character at a budget price.
