The Spirit of Dubai Majalis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Majalis opens with Cacao Pod, Green Notes, Grapefruit, and Rose, settles into a heart of Mate, Date, Floral Notes, and Powdery, and dries down to a base of Tobacco. The Spirit of Dubai's Majalis carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising beast. While many are swept away by its complex, opulent charm, others find its dense blend and intense sweetness a bit much. It's a statement scent, but definitely try before you splash out.

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.

Best Occasions

This fragrance is incredibly potent and long-lasting, with a huge sillage, making it too overwhelming for an office or casual wear. Its opulent and complex profile is perfect for special dates and formal events, where its strong projection can shine without becoming cloying.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

Imagine a vibrant bazaar at dusk: sweet dates and fresh strawberries mingle with the rich, smoky warmth of incense and frankincense. Aromatic cardamom and a hint of coffee add intriguing depth, all underpinned by a dark, honeyed tobacco and subtle woody notes. It settles into a complex, resinous sweetness that sticks around for ages.
