The Spirit of Dubai Fakhama is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Fakhama opens with Rose and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Animalic, and Oakmoss. The Spirit of Dubai's Fakhama carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Fakhama is a powerful, unapologetically opulent rose-oud that demands attention. While familiar to some, its masterful blending and beast-mode performance make it a showstopper, if you're prepared for its commanding presence and price tag.

About

This magnificent creation opens with a rich, jammy blast of rose and dried fruits, quickly joined by an intricate tapestry of warm spices like saffron and ginger. As it settles, a prominent, well-behaved oud emerges, intertwined with creamy vanilla, earthy patchouli, and hints of smooth leather. The dry down introduces a complex animalic warmth, underscored by sweet caramel and smoky incense, leaving a long-lasting, utterly captivating trail.
