Swiss Arabian OPULENCE OF DUBAI is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Ilias Ermenidis. OPULENCE OF DUBAI opens with Bergamot, Ginger, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Rose, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Swiss Arabian's OPULENCE OF DUBAI carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some reckon its spicy, woody, gourmand blend is pure Arabian luxury, while others find the notes completely jumbled and poorly blended. Definitely *not* a safe blind buy.

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 Formal

Given its strong projection and potent, rich accords, this is best suited for evenings and formal events. It would be too distracting for an office environment and completely out of place for casual or sport wear.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Opulence of Dubai kicks off with a bright, fizzy burst of ginger and bergamot, leading into a heart of rich dark chocolate, spicy cardamom, and a hint of rose. The base settles into a complex medley of smoky coffee, earthy vetiver, warm amber, and deep incense, all underpinned by cedar and vanilla for a truly opulent finish.
