Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.

Zayaan Silver opens on cinnamon, plum, cardamom and bergamot, moving through davana, artemisia and lavender before settling into patchouli, tonka bean, labdanum and benzoin. The shape reads as a spiced, resinous amber built for cooler evenings and layered wear rather than a light, fresh composition.
The opening layers cinnamon and cardamom spice against plum for sweetness and bergamot for lift, a warm, fruited-spice start rather than a purely fresh one — cardamom's slightly cooling, eucalyptus-like edge keeps the cinnamon and plum from reading as purely sweet. The middle brings in davana and artemisia, both slightly bitter, herbal notes with a wine-like, fruity undertone in davana's case, softened by lavender, which keeps the heart from reading as sharp or medicinal. The base is where the composition turns properly resinous: patchouli and labdanum give an earthy, amber-like depth that is closer to a true amber accord than a simple sweet base, tonka bean adds a warm, almond-like sweetness that echoes the plum from the opening, and benzoin rounds the whole base into something soft and balsamic rather than sharp or dusty. Read from top to bottom, this moves from a fruited spice opening through a herbal-floral middle into a dense, resinous amber base, with the spice and the resin acting as bookends around the lighter lavender-davana centre, and the plum and tonka bean forming a quiet thread of sweetness that runs from top to bottom.
Cinnamon, plum, cardamom and bergamot dominate the first stretch, a spiced-fruit impression that is bright but never thin, with the bergamot lifting the heavier spices just enough to stop the opening feeling dense. As those top notes settle, davana, artemisia and lavender take over, a quieter, more herbal stage that sits between the spice above and the resin below, and reads noticeably drier than the opening. Several hours in, the patchouli, tonka bean, labdanum and benzoin base becomes dominant, building into a warm, resinous amber that lingers close to skin rather than projecting the way the opening spice does. The scent arc runs from spiced and fruity to herbal to deep and resinous, a fuller build than the opening alone suggests, and one that rewards checking back on the scent later in the wear rather than judging it purely on the first impression.
Fragrantica lists it as unisex, and FG lists it the same way. The spice-and-resin structure sits comfortably across genders, without a note profile that pushes decisively one way, since neither the cardamom-plum opening nor the amber base reads as strongly gendered on its own account. That balance across genders comes from the way the spice and resin sit at equal weight — neither the top nor the base leans hard enough in one direction to tip the composition toward a single audience.
Fragrantica's community lists Le Male Lover by Jean Paul Gaultier as sharing accords with Zayaan Silver, both built around a spiced opening over a resinous, amber-leaning base that carries through to the close.
Zayaan Silver suits anyone who wants a spiced, resinous amber built on cardamom, plum and patchouli rather than a lighter fresh scent. The warm, balsamic base makes it a fit for cooler weather and evening occasions.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
