Fakhama

Fakhama, meaning grandeur, from The Spirit of Dubai (2016) is spicy and sweet in equal measure, with wood and flowers noticed by most people and smaller groups finding resin and amber.

The note list is long, but the main threads are clear. Sweet orange, coriander, cardamom, ginger and saffron give a bright, warm, golden spice. Dried fruits and spun sugar add a sticky, candied sweetness. The heart is a lavish rose, Turkish, Bulgarian and Damask, rich and velvety. The base is dark and animalic: agarwood gives a smoky oud, civet, castoreum and leather a warm, skin-like, leathery depth, and incense, benzoin and vanilla a soft, resinous sweetness.

Fakhama is shared and can be worn by anyone bold enough. It is a dense evening scent for autumn and winter, celebrations and special occasions, and should appeal to people who love opulent, animalic Middle Eastern compositions.
