Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.
The main body of the scent, emerging as the top notes fade. It shapes how the fragrance smells once it settles on skin.

Fabolous Night opens on ambrette and sapodilla, soft and musky-sweet, before magnolia, sandalwood and violet form a powdery, textured heart. Cedarwood, musk and vetiver close it out dry and close to skin, in a restrained register throughout rather than a loud one.
Fabolous Night opens on ambrette and sapodilla, an unusual pairing of musky-floral ambrette seed against sapodilla's soft, slightly caramelised fruit sweetness — a quieter, more textured opening than a typical fruity or citrus top. The heart brings in magnolia, sandalwood and violet: magnolia adds a light, lemony-floral freshness, sandalwood introduces creamy wood earlier than most compositions would, and violet brings a soft, slightly powdery sweetness that ties the floral and woody sides together. The base continues in the same restrained register — cedarwood, musk and vetiver — giving a dry, clean, woody-musky finish rather than anything heavy or sweet. Across the whole structure, the notes lean toward softness and texture rather than projection: ambrette and musk both contribute a skin-close, slightly powdery quality that runs from top to base, giving the fragrance a consistent character rather than three distinct stages, and the early appearance of sandalwood in the heart means the woody character is present for most of the wear rather than only showing up at the end.
Ambrette and sapodilla open quietly, without a sharp citrus or spice burst, so the first impression is soft and slightly fruity-musky rather than bright. As this settles, magnolia, sandalwood and violet come through together, and because sandalwood is present from this stage, the floral heart already carries a woody undertone rather than sitting apart from the base. Violet's powderiness starts to show more clearly here, softening the magnolia's freshness. By the later hours, cedarwood, musk and vetiver take over fully, and because ambrette and musk share a similar powdery-skin character, the transition from heart to base feels smooth rather than abrupt — the finish is dry, clean and close to skin, with the vetiver adding the only real sharpness in the whole composition. Across the wear the general register barely changes; this is a fragrance that stays quiet and close from opening to base rather than one built around distinct, contrasting phases.
Fabolous Night is treated as unisex — ambrette, sapodilla, magnolia and violet give it a soft, textured character rather than a clearly feminine or masculine one, and the cedarwood-musk-vetiver base is shared, gender-neutral territory.
Fabolous Night shares its shape with Mojave Ghost by Byredo — both build a soft, musky-floral composition around ambrette and a powdery, skin-close finish rather than a loud, projecting one. Where Mojave Ghost centres its softness on ambrette against magnolia and musk in a fairly minimal structure, Fabolous Night reaches a comparable quiet character through a slightly larger note set — sapodilla, violet, sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver — built around the same ambrette-and-musk core. The comparison is in the restrained, powdery-musk register both fragrances work in, not in an identical formula.
Fabolous Night suits anyone who prefers a soft, close-to-skin musk over a loud, projecting fragrance — the ambrette and violet keep it powdery and textured rather than sweet, and the cedarwood-vetiver base gives it a clean, dry finish. It works well for quieter settings where a restrained musk is the better fit.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
