DUBAI FAKHAMA

Fakhama is the fragrance signed by The Spirit of Dubai, the niche collection by Nabeel Perfumes born to tell the many facets of Dubai. A unisex Eau de Parfum in 50 ml, it belongs to the line's First Generation (Niche Collection). Its name means "grandeur" or "magnificence" in Arabic, and it is the chapter dedicated to the purest, most uncompromising luxury.

The Fragrance

Fakhama encapsulates everything that is luxurious: a selection of precious roses interwoven with oud, leather and warm resins, to render an opulent, timeless elegance. It is a woody floral oriental fragrance, uniting the richness of multiple rose varieties with an amber, resinous base, to tell the most authentic luxury of the city of Dubai. It belongs to the line created by master perfumer Asghar Adam Ali, who signs every fragrance in The Spirit of Dubai.

How It Evolves on Skin

Fakhama opens with a regal, multifaceted bouquet of roses: Turkish rose and Bulgarian rose intertwine with Damask rose in an extremely rich floral heart, while bergamot lends a citrus freshness and sweet orange a luminous juiciness. Fruity notes and spicy notes add depth from the very first moment, elemi brings a resinous nuance, while coffee and dried and candied fruit lend a warm, enveloping gourmand quality. After about twenty minutes, the heart reveals its softer, spicier soul: sandalwood lends a velvety creaminess, vanilla and benzoin resinoid a balsamic sweetness, while patchouli adds an earthy depth and vetiver a dry freshness; coriander and ginger lend a spicy, pungent touch, while rose returns alongside saffron, which lends its golden, exotic signature. The base is the most opulent and enveloping part: amber builds a warm, resinous foundation, castoreum and civet add an animalic, sensual nuance, while caramelized sugar lends a gourmand sweetness that blends with incense; leather lends a soft warmth and oakmoss closes the trail with a dry, woody touch that lingers on the skin for a long time.

Who We Recommend Dubai Fakhama To

We recommend Fakhama to anyone who loves floral oriental fragrances of great character, with a heart of precious roses and an amber, leathery, slightly animalic base. It's a fragrance designed for autumn and winter, perfect for important evenings and occasions when you want to leave an unforgettable mark of luxury. A unisex perfume suited to anyone seeking an opulent, never-banal oriental, able to unite the floral elegance of rose with the warmest, most resinous depth.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Fakhama struck us for the way it approaches a theme already widely explored in niche perfumery — the oriental rose — with an uncommon richness of materials: three distinct rose varieties in dialogue within the same accord, an amber base made even deeper by castoreum and civet, and a touch of caramelized sugar that sweetens without ever tipping into cloying. It's a fragrance that doesn't settle for being "just another rose-oud", but builds a precise identity made of contrasts between the floral brightness of the opening and the almost animalic sensuality of the base.

FAQ

Why does Fakhama use two different rose varieties?
Fakhama interweaves Turkish rose and Bulgarian rose, two of the most prized varieties in perfumery, together with Damask rose in the heart: each variety brings a different nuance, from citrusy brightness to velvety softness, to build a richer, more multifaceted floral accord than a single rose could achieve.

Is Fakhama more of a floral fragrance or a woody oriental?
Fakhama is a true hybrid: the opening and heart are dominated by rose and floral-fruity accords, while the base turns decisively toward a warm, resinous, leathery oriental with amber, incense and oakmoss. It's precisely this balance between floral light and woody depth that defines its character.

How long does Fakhama last on the skin?
Fakhama is a fragrance with very high longevity, able to accompany the skin for the entire day thanks to its base rich in amber, leather and oakmoss, with a consistent trail that's never overwhelming, typical of the more structured oriental fragrances.
