Dasman is a seaside resort district within Kuwait City, originally hosting the Sheikh Abdullah Al Jaber or Dasman palace as it is better known. Centring around a rich triumvirate o f roses, saffron and amber, Dasman opens with an unexpected boozy mood, that slowly becomes more like liquorice as the velveteen roses bloom. For a moment there is a fleeting whisper of menthol that echoes the petrolic whiff of certain roses. The base of Dasman emphasises the roses with smouldering oud and cypriol. Tendrils of subtle incense weave around musks and an oddly dissonant vetiver that succeeds however in tempering any potential heaviness. In the final stages, Dasman reveals a seared lavender note, exalted by the golden earthiness of saffron. The fortress of desert roses on smoky desert nights is beautiful. Show more
