Meydan by The Spirit of Dubai takes its name from Dubai’s iconic racecourse, symbolizing the grandeur and excitement of equestrian culture. Befitting its inspiration, Meydan channels a refined yet spirited personality—think the thrill of the track mixed with luxurious Middle Eastern craftsmanship. Here’s an in-depth look:


Fragrance Breakdown

Top Notes: A Fresh, Refined Gallop

  • Green Accords: Hints of freshly cut grass or herbaceous notes evoke the open fields of a racetrack, lending an outdoorsy crispness.
  • Citrus or Aromatic Spices: Subtle bergamot or a pinch of cardamom might add a touch of brightness, giving an energetic start before Meydan transitions into deeper territory.
  • Saffron Undertone (Possible): Adds a sophisticated warmth right from the outset, mirroring the opulence associated with Dubai’s high-stakes equestrian scene.

Heart Notes: Leather & Earthy Depth

  • Leather: The star of Meydan’s mid-development, conjuring images of polished saddles and the refined elegance of the stables. Rich, slightly smoky, and boldly sensual.
  • Oud (Agarwood): A smooth, woody backbone that weaves seamlessly with the leather, adding a Middle Eastern signature.
  • Floral/Spice Nuances: Soft rose or a gentle spice (such as nutmeg) may appear, balancing out the robust leather with a whisper of sweetness and warmth.

Base Notes: Warmth & Nobility

  • Amber & Woods: Provide a comforting glow in the dry-down, extending Meydan’s presence over several hours.
  • Vetiver or Patchouli (Potential Earthy Touch): Adds a green-earthy character beneath the leather, reinforcing the sense of being outdoors.
  • Musk: Helps unify all the elements, ensuring a sophisticated, long-lasting trail.

Occasion

  • Formal & Social Events: Meydan’s polished blend of leather, wood, and subtle spice makes it a strong contender for galas, private gatherings, or upscale dinner parties.
  • Professional Settings: If applied lightly, the confident leather accord can add a refined edge for high-level meetings, especially in cooler temperatures.
  • Weekend Escapes: The outdoorsy yet luxurious vibe also suits a leisurely day out—like touring vineyards or visiting a country club—where its green accents shine.

Season

  • Fall & Winter: Leather and oud thrive in brisk, cool air, highlighting Meydan’s comforting depth and bringing out its nuanced earthiness.
  • Spring Evenings: Still works well on milder nights; the green top notes can complement a transition from day to evening.
  • Summer (with Caution): In high heat, the leather-oud blend may feel quite heavy. A single, minimal spray can offer sophistication without overwhelming.

Overall Impression

Meydan encapsulates the spirit of equestrian luxury: fresh green breezes drifting across a polished leather saddle, grounded in the deep tradition of Middle Eastern perfumery. Its opening notes offer a breath of fresh air, setting the stage for an elegant leather heart that merges smoothly with oud and amber. The final dry-down is warm yet distinguished, lingering with a musky, woody aura.

Those who appreciate a fragrance that balances outdoorsy greenery with rich, supple leather will find Meydan both striking and wearable. Much like the energy and elegance of a racehorse in full stride, it commands attention—delivering a sophisticated olfactory journey that truly reflects Dubai’s passion for both heritage and modernity.
