Calabrian bergamot, lemon and Sicilian orange open Marwa, then Nigerian ginger, Ceylon cinnamon and Tunisian neroli make up the heart. The base is ambroxan, Chinese black tea, olibanum and guaiac wood, built around the fresh spicy and amber accords.
The opening is bright and zesty: bergamot, lemon and Sicilian orange give a sharp citrus lift rather than a sweet one, and that is the strongest impression in the first half hour or so. From there the ginger brings peppery warmth, the cinnamon softens it with a little sweetness, and the neroli keeps a thread of floral citrus running through so the heart stays light. The base is where it settles for the later hours: ambroxan gives a clean, mineral warmth, black tea adds a dry, slightly bitter edge, olibanum brings a resinous, incense-like note, and guaiac wood adds a smoky depth underneath.
Marwa is frequently compared to Imagination by Louis Vuitton - it points in a similar direction, with citrus and ginger sitting over a dry, ambery base. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if Imagination's shape appeals to you, this is worth trying. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Art of Arabia I by Lattafa is in stock, and so is Karus Blu Spice by Khadlaj.

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.
