The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Magnificently Dubai by Zara is a Leather fragrance for women and men, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone. The composition opens with saffron, bringing an unexpected freshness and spiciness to the top notes before transitioning into the warmth of nutmeg. The base note of leather adds a rich, smoky depth that evokes the essence of adventure and exploration.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a strong base note of leather that takes time to bloom. Apply it lightly at first and let it settle on your skin over the course of the day for the full effect. It reads better close to skin than in a crowded room, so keep it intimate.
