By the editors · 2 min readRoyal Dubai opens with a sharp clash of cinnamon and black pepper, the ylang-ylang adding a waxy, almost tropical sweetness underneath. The spice reads forward and dry rather than sweet.
In the heart, plum deepens the composition while violet lifts it with a powdery, slightly cool edge. Patchouli and atlas cedar ground everything with an earthy, resinous presence that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy.
The base settles to a soft musk that lets the cedar and patchouli carry on quietly. The overall effect is a warm, spiced floral-woody with a slight darkened-fruit quality — more composed than overtly sweet.
