Fragrance notes
Character
Vanilla opens the composition with a soft, creamy presence that feels immediate and comforting. Lavender follows with a calm, herbal touch that keeps the sweetness from becoming overwhelming. Cocoa anchors the base, adding a dry, slightly bitter chocolate scent that grounds the entire blend.
The cacao accord gives the fragrance a rich, dark texture that pairs well with the warm spicy and fresh spicy notes listed in the profile. It creates a feeling of sitting in a dimly lit lounge where the air is thick with aromatic warmth. The powdery facet softens the edges of the spices, making the overall impression smooth rather than sharp.
Hamid Merati-Kashani composed this oriental fragrance for Dkhoon Emirates in 2024. The combination of vanilla and lavender is classic, but the addition of cocoa and spices moves it toward something more specific to its namesake city. It feels modern and polished, sitting comfortably between a gourmand treat and a traditional aromatic scent.
The scent fits a night out in the city when the air is cool and the streets are alive with light. It is for the person who enjoys a sweet, spicy aura that feels both luxurious and relaxed. Wear it when the evening calls for something warm and noticeable.
