Dubai Lifestyle
by Alexandria Fragrances
Dubai Lifestyle presents a bold and opulent olfactory experience that evokes the grandeur of luxury travel and high society. It opens with a stark, vibrant burst of chamomile, lemon, and saffron, creating an immediate herbal and citrusy intensity that some find initially challenging. However, after a short time, this resolves into a richly layered composition of jasmine, magnolia, rose, oud, patchouli, and sweet rum—an elegant blend that feels both sophisticated and slightly unisex. The fragrance lingers well with moderate to strong sillage, making it a natural choice for evening occasions, formal events, or moments when one wants to project confidence and refinement. Its unique character, while divisive at first, matures into something enduring and decadent, with many noting a resemblance to Blue Sapphire by Boadicea the Victorious, though not a perfect clone.
