The Spirit of Dubai Baz is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Baz opens with Red Fruits, Fruity Notes, Leather, and Bergamot, and settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Resins, Earthy, and Cedar. The Spirit of Dubai's Baz carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Baz is a deeply polarising beast. Some find it a masterful symphony of complex luxury, while others smell pure biological warfare. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a fragrant gamble.

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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beast-mode performance and strong, complex accords, Baz is completely unsuitable for office wear. Its opulent and sensual nature, with rich amber, leather, and animalic notes, makes it perfect for formal events or a memorable date night. It's too intense for casual day-to-day 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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opening with a rich, multifaceted burst of star anise, coffee, and a distinct leather note, Baz quickly deepens into an intoxicating blend. A floral heart of rose, jasmine, and myrrh surfaces, softened by honey and birch. The drydown unveils a dominant amber and woody base, with smoky incense and a persistent, slightly animalic leather accord creating a dense, opulent trail. It's a journey through spice, dark woods, and sensual undertones.
