Solo Intoxicated

It sits in between. The opening is sweet from sugar and vanilla, but the rum and cinnamon give it a boozy, spiced edge. The labdanum and coffee in the heart add a darker, slightly bitter depth, so it never smells like plain dessert. If you like warm gourmand fragrances with some attitude, this will suit you.

Yes. The notes are warm, spicy and smooth, not tied to a traditional “masculine” or “feminine” profile. Coffee, cacao and cashmere wood give it structure, while vanilla and tonka bean keep it soft. It works as a long lasting perfume for men and for women, and it is a good pick if you want to share one bottle.

Tonka bean, cacao and cashmere wood are heavy base notes, so the scent holds well through an evening and often longer on skin. Two to three sprays on pulse points (neck, wrists, behind the ears) is enough for most people. Apply to moisturised skin straight after a shower for the best staying power.

Its warm notes shine most in cooler months and air-conditioned evenings. In summer, wear it at night and keep to one or two light sprays, as heat makes sweet, spicy scents project more strongly. Apply to pulse points rather than clothing in high heat.

It is best for evenings, dinners, nights out and date nights, where its rich, magnetic character stands out. It is also a strong gift for anyone who likes bold, warm fragrances, since the unisex profile works for partners, friends and colleagues. Made in Dubai, it also suits those looking for a locally crafted perfume.
