The story behind the bottle.
Jean Claude Delville crafted Abu Dhabi in 2025 as a bold statement that blends the opulence of oud with the warmth of vanilla and the freshness of spicy notes. The fragrance opens with pink pepper and cardamom, creating a vibrant contrast against the rich base of Assam Oud and Tahitian Vanilla. This composition is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a delicate balance between earthy and floral accords. It captures the essence of Abu Dhabi—a city that seamlessly blends modern luxury with ancient traditions.
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the fresh spicy notes don't overpower the deeper base. The fragrance blooms over time, so give it a few minutes to settle into your skin. It's best for evening wear when you want something that evolves throughout the night.
