This is the second worst of the Dubai scents, beat out only by Black Sapphire. The initial opening was almost unbearable. It smelled like burning plastic and pepper, and that smell lasted a good 5 minutes. Afterwards, that initial chemical smell started to subside and the strong spiciness of pepper emerged...perhaps this was the pink pepper. After 30 minutes, I began to smell some amber and some sweetness but that really strong peppery spiciness continued to be thoroughly mixed into the fragrance development. I think this might be suitable for a guy but I wouldn't want to smell it on my guy. The only upside...it lasts a long time, which is an upside only of you like the sent.
