The Spirit of Dubai Haibah is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Haibah settles into a heart of Truffle, Green, Amber, and Oakmoss, and dries down to a base of Musk, Earthy, Cedar, and Sandalwood. The Spirit of Dubai's Haibah carries an Acquired verdict, an oud-led wear.

Haibah by The Spirit of Dubai is a beast of an oud. It's gloriously opulent, unapologetically strong, and certainly not for the faint of heart. Expect a highly divisive, love-it-or-hate-it experience that demands attention and appreciation for intense, complex Arabic perfumery.

About

Opening with a bold, almost animalic oud, Haibah plunges into a rich heart of earthy truffle and dark rose, underscored by green notes that add a surprising dampness. The drydown unveils a deep, musky base where patchouli and creamy sandalwood intertwine with more oud and guaiac wood, leaving a lasting, smoky-sweet incense trail. It truly takes you on a journey, evolving constantly on the skin.
