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.
The main body of the scent, emerging as the top notes fade. It shapes how the fragrance smells once it settles on skin.

Heavier molecules that evaporate slowly, like woods, musk, amber and oud. They are there from the start, and they are what remains once the rest has faded.

Vannila Vio Prestige opens with cinnamon, apple, nutmeg and cognac, moving into a fruited heart of plum, dry wood and dates before settling on vanilla, benzoin and musk. The shape runs from spiced fruit into a soft, resinous, woody-sweet base, gourmand in feel without turning sugary or flat.
Vannila Vio Prestige opens on cinnamon, apple and nutmeg, warmed further by a shot of cognac - the apple keeps the spice from turning heavy, giving the top a crisp, slightly boozy edge rather than a straightforward bakery accord, and the nutmeg adds a dry, slightly peppery warmth that stops the fruit from reading as too juicy or simple. Moving into the heart, plum and dates bring a dark, jammy fruit character that sits close to the cinnamon and nutmeg carried over from the top, while dry wood introduces the first hint of the structure to come, cutting the sweetness with something drier and more textured; the combination of dried fruit and wood gives the middle stage a slightly roasted, autumnal quality rather than a straightforwardly sweet one. The base is where the fragrance settles into its real character: vanilla, benzoin and musk combine into a soft, resinous, faintly powdery finish, with the benzoin adding a warm, balsamic depth under the vanilla rather than letting it read as plain sweetness, and the musk smoothing the transition so the resinous benzoin never feels heavy or cloying. Read start to finish, the fragrance moves from spiced fruit through dark plum and dates into a smooth vanilla-musk close, gourmand in character but built with enough dry wood and benzoin running underneath to keep it from tipping into simple sugariness, closer to a spiced dessert wine than a straightforward vanilla.
The cinnamon, apple, nutmeg and cognac opening is bright and spiced, and it settles within the first while as the plum, dry wood and dates heart takes over, shifting the fragrance toward a darker, fruitier register. That middle stage carries the bulk of the wear, with the dry wood keeping the plum and dates from reading as purely sweet, and the cognac's warmth lingering underneath as a quiet thread through the transition rather than disappearing outright. As the fragrance settles further, vanilla, benzoin and musk rise to the surface, rounding the dried fruit and wood into a soft, warm base that carries through to the finish without sharp edges, the musk in particular giving the close a clean, skin-hugging quality rather than a heavy one. The scent arc is one of gradual softening - spiced and crisp at first, fruited and dry through the middle, and warm, smooth and slightly powdery by the close, which is typical of how a wood-and-vanilla base behaves once the brighter top notes have worn off, and suits a fragrance meant to last from a spiced opening into a long, comfortable finish.
Fragrantica classifies Vannila Vio Prestige strictly as a women's fragrance, and no vote data was supplied to weigh against that classification. With the record marketed for one gender and nothing to soften or contradict it, it is listed here as a women's fragrance rather than defaulted to unisex.
Vannila Vio Prestige suits anyone drawn to a spiced, fruited gourmand rather than a plain vanilla - the cinnamon, apple and cognac opening gives it a crisp start, while the dry wood and benzoin in the base keep the vanilla from reading as one-note sweetness. It sits comfortably in cooler weather and evening wear, where its warmth and depth read most clearly.

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.
