A closer look at The Spirit Of Dubai Rimal EDP

The Spirit Of Dubai perfumes worth knowing
The house has 36 perfumes here, led by Meydan, Turath and Bahar.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Durra and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood and caramel are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Rimal price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €239. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Gisada Ambassador Intense but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Durra and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan.
