Majalis – Eau de Parfum

SPIRIT OF DUBAI – a niche perfume line from Dubai in which every fragrance tells its own facet of the city, from desert sand to skyline.

Majalis smells spicy-sweet and warmly leathery at once – like an Arabic coffee ceremony in a bottle. Bergamot, sweet orange, rose damascene and cardamom open it warm and spiced, saffron, dates and Taif rose come together at the heart into a dense oriental picture, before qahwa, leather and honey settle into a deep, coffee-like base.

Majalis works best in autumn, winter and in the evening. The unisex scent makes an intense, hospitable signature scent for special occasions.

What makes Majalis special to us is the qahwa note in its base: Arabic coffee, woven together with dates and honey, is an ingredient Western niche perfumery almost never reaches for, yet here it becomes the actual heart of the composition. The name means "reception rooms" in Arabic, and that's exactly what it smells like – Arabian hospitality, sitting on a carpet, a cup of coffee in hand.
