The Spirit of Dubai Turath is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Turath opens with Candied Fruits, Spicy Notes, Bergamot, and Orange, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Musk, Leather, and Amber. The Spirit of Dubai's Turath carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Turath is a truly divisive beast. Some adore its opulent, fruity-smoky complexity, hailing it as a masterpiece of Middle Eastern perfumery. Others find it an overbearing, chaotic assault of synthetic notes and an exorbitant price tag. Sample before you commit to this polarizing powerhouse.

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its bombastic projection and extreme longevity, Turath is not one for the faint-hearted or enclosed spaces. It shines in formal settings or on a decadent date night where its powerful sillage can truly be appreciated, but would overwhelm an office or gym.

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
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

An opulent, fruity opening of sweet candied fruits, ripe peach, and dark berries, spiced with a hint of warm cinnamon and cardamom. This rich sweetness quickly yields to a heart of jammy rose, saffron, and velvety woods. The dry down is a deeply resinous blend of smoky incense, rich amber, and animalic leather, grounded by an earthy patchouli and vetiver, creating an intoxicating, long-lasting scent that's full of Arabian Nights allure.
