Dubai Musk
On request
Citrus, golden fruit, neroli and black tea
Ravenna is an Extrait de Parfum from Al Ambra, a Dubai house, and the brand calls it clean yet grounded. A bright fruit and citrus opening sits over a drier tea and wood finish. That balance depends a lot on skin, so a 10 ml decant is a sensible way to learn how it behaves on you before you think about a 50 ml bottle.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
On skin the opening is quick: lemon, bergamot and orange for the citrus, pineapple and mango for ripe, golden fruit. It is juicy and warm rather than sharp. Wearing a decant lets you judge this first impression on its own, away from a paper strip.
Once the top settles, ginger and cinnamon add a mild warmth, and Tunisian neroli, a clean orange-flower note, ties the spice to the fruit. Wear it through a whole afternoon to see how this middle stage behaves, because it decides if the fruit stays cheerful.
Black tea, guaiac wood, rosemary and ambroxan carry the base. They dry the fruit out and leave a tidy, airy finish. This is the stage most people want to know before buying a bottle, and a decant lets you reach it on several different days.
Testing it
Put the decant on clean skin in the morning, on a day without strong food or other perfume around. Check it soon after applying, again at midday and once more in the evening. Try a second day in warmer weather and a third in cooler, since citrus and tea will not weigh the same in both.
People who love fruity citrus but fear it will turn sugary, and who prefer a drier finish of tea and wood. It is unisex. Pineapple and mango give it a sunny character, so bright, warm days are its natural setting. If you lean towards sweet gourmand scents, wear the sample first to see whether it feels too dry.
An Extrait is concentrated, and a 50 ml bottle is a real commitment. Ravenna also has plenty going on, with five notes on top, three in the heart and four underneath, so how it blends differs from skin to skin. A 10 ml decant filled by FragranceGems lets you wear it properly before you decide.

Ravenna Extrait de Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not made or supplied by Al Ambra, and we are not affiliated with the house.
For several test days, yes. A 10 ml decant gives you many wearings, enough to try Ravenna at different times of day and in different weather, which says more than one quick spray ever could.
It is the same Extrait de Parfum, only moved into a smaller vial. The composition stays as Al Ambra made it; the vial and the label are ours.
Let the citrus and fruit fade, then note whether the black tea, guaiac wood and ambroxan feel clean and airy to you or a little too dry. That is the part the sample is for.
The brand
Al Ambra is a Dubai house, founded in 2016, that develops and produces its perfumes in its own workshop at Dubai Investment Park. Everything we decant from it is an Extrait de Parfum made with warm climates in mind: smooth, oil-rich textures that stay close to the skin rather than filling a room. Three or four samples show the range, from a clean musk to a sugared vanilla, before you commit to a bottle.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
