Bahar

The Spirit of Dubai Bahar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Bahar opens with Pineapple, Plum, Raspberry, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Violet Leaf, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Woody, Musk, and Amber. The Spirit of Dubai's Bahar carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This aquatic beast is a bit of a divisive one. Many find it a superb freshie with beastly performance, while others detect a synthetic harshness that puts them off. Definitely don't blind buy; sample first to see if you get Federer at Wimbledon or a cheap synthetic mess.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its fresh aquatic and citrus profile, make it excellent for casual wear and dates, but potentially overwhelming for a formal office setting. While some find it suitable for the office due to its fresh scent, its strength means it's best in open spaces or where discretion isn't paramount.

About

Bahar opens with an explosion of bright, juicy citrus and an invigorating aquatic breeze, intertwined with a colourful fruit basket of apple, pineapple, and berries. As it settles, a floral heart emerges with delicate rose and soft violet leaf, grounded by earthy cedar and cashmere wood. The journey concludes with a musky amber embrace, hinting at vetiver's depth, leaving a fresh yet substantial aura.
