Mandarin orange and lemon open California Signature, then lavender, lychee, rosemary, cardamom and geranium meet a run of aquatic notes in the heart. The base settles into teak wood, tonka bean and vetiver for a dry, woody finish true to the aromatic aquatic family Mykonos built this Eau de Parfum around.
The opening is bright and zesty. Mandarin orange and lemon give the sharp lift you get from peeling an orange, and that is the strongest impression in the first half hour or so. From there the lavender and rosemary come forward with a cool, herbal edge, cardamom adds a faint peppery warmth, and the lychee softens the herbs with a little juicy fruit. The aquatic notes keep the heart open and airy, a bit like sea air. The base is where it spends the later hours: teak wood, tonka bean and vetiver leave a dry, woody finish, with the vetiver stopping the tonka bean from turning sweet.
California Signature is frequently compared to Lafayette Street by Bond No 9 - it follows a similar fresh outline, opening on citrus and cool herbs before settling into a woody base. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, and the lavender and rosemary pairing gives this one its own herbal character. If Lafayette Street's shape appeals to you, this is worth trying.

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.
Mykonos is an Indonesian fragrance brand. It makes eaux de parfum and extraits de parfum.
