When Dubai gets closer to National Day, the city slips into a different kind of glow. The Burj Khalifa becomes the first storyteller of the evening, shifting colours like turning pages, telling the journey of a nation that chose unity with clarity and courage. In older quarters near the Creek, families gather for quiet meals. In newer districts, the steady pulse of the city carries hints of Al-Ayala rhythms mixing with modern life. On 2 December, Eid Al Etihad feels less like a holiday and more like a shared heartbeat between seven emirates. On such a day, choosing a fragrance becomes a small yet powerful gesture. A scent can hold contrasts the way Dubai does, like oud warmth against coastal air, spice layered with soft modern notes.
Perfume has long been fused into daily life here, influencing hospitality, marking celebrations, and turning ordinary evenings into rituals. As the country evolved from desert settlements into a global capital, its perfume houses grew alongside it, preserving heritage through every blend. One of the names deeply connected to this journey is My Perfumes, now celebrating decades of craftsmanship rooted in the region’s favourite notes. At My Perfumes, we’ve selected ten fragrances that echo this spirit, offering a presence that feels refined, rooted, and unmistakably connected to the soul of the UAE.
