The Spirit of Dubai Aamal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Aamal settles into a heart of Akigalawood, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Floral, and Powdery, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Oud. The Spirit of Dubai's Aamal carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some find it a rich, opulent amber-oud, others are hit with a challenging, outright 'fecal' opening. Definitely for the bold, but not one to blind buy.

About

Aamal opens with an intense, complex bouquet of warm spices and a fleeting citrus zest, quickly transitioning into a luxurious heart dominated by rich oud and creamy sandalwood. Powdery floral nuances mingle with earthy patchouli and a touch of saffron, leading to a deep, animalic base of castoreum and civet, underscored by rich amber, smoky incense, and a smooth vanilla-caramel sweetness. The leather accord adds a sophisticated edge to this multifaceted, long-lasting scent.
