Dubhe Assoluto is a deeply complex, opulent oud fragrance that captures the essence of Arabian luxury with a rich, layered profile. It opens with a bold, slightly animalic burst of saffron, rose, and geranium, creating an immediate sense of depth and warmth. This evolves into a dense, powdery heart of orris, guaiac wood, gurjan balsam, and vanilla, before settling into a smoky, ambery base of agarwood (oud), sandalwood, amber, and patchouli. The scent is most captivating when worn on skin, where it undergoes a slow, transformative evolution, revealing its true artistry over time. Longevity is exceptional, with a lasting presence that lingers well into the evening and across seasons, particularly winter and autumn. It is unisex in character, with a strong sillage that stands out without being overwhelming, making it ideal for night wear.
