DAHAB

Man. I love the shit out of this scent. It's beautiful. I grew up next to the ocean. And this is the fizziest, sparkly, most enlivening rendition of fresh ocean air that I've ever experienced. It's cooling and refreshing and jarringly real. Totally transportative. That fresh fizzy ocean breeze comes smashing off the top and then pops up mysteriously as with a change of the winds in the dry down. As it starts to dry down it feels like we've moved our spice enthralled campfire further inland out of the cold sea air. @queerderussie really nailed the effect describing it as tendrils or mini tornadoes of scent that pass and go away and come back again whimsically. But cold ocean air in the scent moves brilliantly in an out of a spicy gourmandish ensemble of warming, mouth watering, celebratory feast. Like we've been surfing all day in the cold ocean and we're eating a bunch of amazing indian/arabian deserts after getting stoned next to our camp fire. It's just. Amazing. I feel alive, free, creative, and engaging with this scent on. I'm definitely getting a bottle of this. This is one of those niche scents that is worth the price tag. I wish it was cheaper because I'd wear it all the time. But it's still worth it, because there's nothing like it. And it's totally amazing. I've decided I'll always have this in my collection. I hope they always make it. At some point I'll stock up on it when they have a holiday sale for their members. This is also an amazing store. The coolest place to shop for scents ever. It's like a private club. And the sales people are experts. If you're in New York, you gotta stop by this place. Super cool people. I've seen the owners interviewed on youtube and they were just as cool in person. They remind me of Andy Tauer's vibe in terms of how they properly engage their audience--just chill, down to earth, creative, and artistic people.

Being living in Egypt I visited Dahab, South Sinai many times almost every year I go there.... Without reading the inspiration and story behind this fragrance I would not immediately associate the smell with Dahab. After reading the story I began to imagine and appreciate how artistic this fragrance is to capture the hot sands, the breeze of salty sea the warmth of fire bons and the spice of Egyptian food. It might be my mind tricking me after reading the inspiration. Yes, Maybe but this fragrance is now associated with my fav city and brings me joy and happiness upon wearing it. One of the best winter subtle scents you can ever acquire.

Finally got a full bottle. One of the first niche fragrances I tried and really loved. Now that I'm not trying to use it sparingly from samples and gave myself a full 5-7 sprays, it really comes to life. More spice predominant than if lightly sprayed. Lasts all day. The initial oceanic opening fades to incense, an amalgam of spices, a touch of oud, for a long dry down. Beautiful throughout. I'm really happy to have a bottle after years of thinking about it and trying the samples every so often. This house really has some interesting stuff. I really like Old School Bench and Magic Circus in addition to this one. Give them a try.

A warm, memorable scent that's both bold and comforting! The combination of spicy warmth and earthy oud is both powerful and smooth. It's a fragrance that evolves beautifully throughout the day, leaving a lasting impression without being overwhelming.

Its a stunning unisex fragrance which me and my wife loves it!! The essence of sun soaked shores and vibrant desert landscapes. With its refreshing citrus notes and warm, earthy undertones, it offers a perfect balance of energy and tranquility!
