Perfume by Personality.

For any discerning gentleman, scent is an essential part of one’s look.

I’ve always enjoyed a bit of mixology when it comes to fragrances. There’s something artisanal about crafting a unique scent to match your mood, aesthetic and body chemistry. Combined with lotions and hair product, the possibilities are virtually limitless to create a signature scent that is wholly you.

Personally, I like to create a fragrance that matches with the season (fashion & weather) as well as my skin tone. So for Fall/Winter ‘17, I played around a bit and eventually settled on a dual combination of Gucci Pour Homme and Bulgari Man In Black. Gucci’s elegant chypre notes of cypress, violet heart and jasmine combined with Bulgari’s dramatic neo-Oriental basenote made for a sensual, masculine scent that exuded warmth and confidence.

Perfect for a unseasonably cool Dubai winter.
