Dubai (Anne Flipo)

Dubai opens with the honeyed warmth of dates against bright mandarin and threads of saffron's dry spice, a sun-baked sweetness. Geranium petals and patchouli emerge gradually, softening the citrus with earthy green and a whisper of dark florals. As it settles, amber and moss ground the composition in a creamy, slightly animalic base while vanilla adds a final dusting of comfort. The whole arc feels like stepping from a spice market into shade—rich, grounded, never cloying.
