Dubai Platinum
Incense opens on its own, joined by cardamom and ginger before cedar and cistus settle it in place. Papyrus, oud and cashmeran hold the finish, where vanilla stays a thread rather than a dessert.
Oud Vendome
Saffron and ginger start things off sharp and spiced, then cedar and incense bring the smoke in. Oud and musk hold a dark, resinous drydown with almost no sweetness.
