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.

Suspenso opens with marigold, lavender, geranium and basil over green water notes, moving into a herbal tobacco heart of hay, bran and clary sage before settling into labdanum, amber, sandalwood, musk and cypress. On a small Fragrantica sample, 60% of voters call longevity long lasting or better, in a firmly male-classed scent suited to cooler months.
Suspenso opens with a distinctly green, herbal accord — marigold, lavender, geranium and basil together with water notes give a fresh, slightly bitter-green lift rather than a straightforward citrus start. The middle moves into a tobacco-led heart, built from tobacco itself alongside a moepel accord, bran, hay and clary sage — hay and bran bring a dry, slightly grainy warmth, while clary sage keeps an herbal thread running alongside the tobacco. The base is the most complex stage, combining labdanum, amber, sandalwood, musk and cypress into a warm, resinous, woody finish, with amber and labdanum giving most of the depth and sandalwood and cypress adding a drier, woodier edge. Overall, this reads as an aromatic tobacco fougère — green and herbal at the top, dry and tobacco-forward through the middle, and warm, resinous and woody by the base, with the long note list giving it more texture than a simple two- or three-note composition.
The opening stays green and herbal for a while, with basil and geranium keeping the marigold and lavender from turning too soft. As the top fades, tobacco and the hay-bran combination come through, giving the middle stage a dry, slightly grainy character with clary sage's herbal note still present. Labdanum and amber begin building underneath from fairly early on, and by the later stages they dominate alongside sandalwood and musk, with cypress adding a final woody dryness. Fragrantica's daypart votes split evenly between day and night, so the fragrance does not lean strongly to either, which fits a structure that moves from fresh and green to warm and resinous rather than staying in one register.
On a small sample of Fragrantica votes, half call longevity long lasting and a further 10% eternal, against 20% moderate and smaller shares at the weaker end — putting more responses toward several hours or more of presence than toward a light, fading wear. Price-value votes on the same small sample are strongly positive, with 80% calling it great value.
Season votes favour the colder months, with autumn (33%) and winter (30%) ahead of spring (27%) and summer (9%). That leaning fits the tobacco-resin-amber base, which reads warmer and better suited to cooler air than the green, herbal opening alone would suggest.
Suspenso is catalogued and voted firmly male, with 58% of gender votes for male and a further 33% male-leaning. Both the catalogue record and Fragrantica's own classification agree, so it is presented here as a men's fragrance.
Suspenso shares its tobacco-fougère shape with Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme 1994. Both use an aromatic, herbal opening over a tobacco-and-wood heart, though Suspenso's labdanum-amber base gives it a warmer, more resinous 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.
