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.

Seasons
Amber Nuit opens with juniper berries, lemon and ylang-ylang before animal notes, cedar and orris settle into a base of leather, spices and patchouli. On Fragrantica, 77% of voters rate longevity long lasting to eternal, making this a fragrance built for depth rather than freshness.
Amber Nuit opens on juniper berries and lemon, sharpened by ylang-ylang's creamy floral edge, a citrus-forward start built to fade quickly rather than linger. Underneath, animal notes sit alongside cedar and orris, giving the middle a slightly furry, powdery texture that softens the initial brightness. The base is where the composition settles: leather, spices and patchouli combine into a warm, resinous accord with real depth. The shape moves from a citrus opening into an animalic, woody heart and a spiced leather base, a fragrance built around contrast between a sharp top and a dense, textured finish rather than a single dominant note. The animal notes and orris give the middle a distinctive, slightly furry warmth that sets this apart from a simpler citrus-amber structure, and that character carries through into how the base ultimately reads on skin.
The opening is brief: juniper and lemon move fast, and ylang-ylang keeps the top from feeling sharp for more than the first stretch. Once the citrus fades, the composition shifts into its animalic middle, cedar and orris add a woody, slightly powdery quality that reads warmer and heavier than the opening suggested. The base of leather, spices and patchouli is the fragrance's centre of gravity; it arrives gradually and stays close to skin, with the leather and patchouli doing most of the work by the final stretch. Worn from evening into night, the arc moves from bright and green to dark and resinous, with little of the original citrus surviving past the first hour.
On Fragrantica, longevity votes lean firmly toward the long side: 77% of voters (small sample) rate it long lasting or eternal, with only a small minority calling it moderate. Sillage votes are split between moderate, strong and enormous, each drawing roughly a third of responses, so projection reads as noticeable rather than shy, without a single dominant reading. Together the data points to a fragrance that holds its shape for hours rather than fading early.
Season votes cluster in winter and autumn, each taking just over a third of responses, with spring and summer some way behind. The base of leather, spices and patchouli reads warmer in cold air, and the vote pattern (small sample) backs that up, this sits more naturally in cooler months than in summer heat.
Both the catalogue and Fragrantica list Amber Nuit as unisex, and voter gender data agrees without a decisive lean toward either side (small sample). It wears as a shared fragrance rather than one built around a single wardrobe.
Amber Nuit shares its dense, leather-forward shape with Cabochard Eau de Parfum 2019 by Gres, both build toward a base heavy on leather and resinous depth rather than a lighter floral or fresh finish.

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.
