808 by Sense Dubai: A Woody Spicy Fragrance for All
Sense Dubai’s 808 is a unisex woody spicy fragrance launched in 2024 under the nose of Saed al Abbass. It is a composition that moves from bright fruit to smoky incense and soft leather, appealing to those who prefer character over convention.
Top notes of mandarin, blackcurrant, pineapple, and orange set a fresh, almost juicy tone, while the heart layers pink pepper, frankincense, leather, violet, ginger, iris, and yerba mate. The drydown is built around tonka bean, vetiver, white cuaba flower (amyris wood), cedar, and musk.
808 sits within the woody spicy olfactive family, but its accords also include aromatic, fruity, citrusy, powdery, sweet, ambery, and musky elements. That makes it a multi-faceted scent: initially accessible, then darker and more contemplative.
At the start, the citrus fruits and pineapple add a slightly glossy sweetness, while blackcurrant brings a tart edge. It feels energetic and modern, with none of the heaviness often found in wintery woody perfumes.
Once the top notes settle, the heart reveals a warm, resinous character. Pink pepper and ginger give a subtle tingle, frankincense provides a smoky, sacred quality, and leather introduces a supple, animalic softness. Violet and iris keep the blend refined, while yerba mate offers a leafy, slightly bitter contrast.
The base is smooth rather than overpowering. Tonka bean gives an almond-like sweetness, while vetiver and cedar supply a clean woody backbone. White cuaba flower, or amyris wood, adds a soft balsamic warmth, and musk ties everything together with an intimate skin feel.
At the moment, 808 has just one user rating, giving it an average of 3 out of 5. It is too early to draw a reliable consensus, but the score hints that this is a perfume with a distinct personality rather than a universal favourite.
Those drawn to spicy, woody and resinous unisex perfumes, and anyone who appreciates an evolving scent with fruity brightness and a leather-infused base.
808 by Sense Dubai is not an obvious choice. Its bold blend of fruit, incense, leather, and woods requires patience and a taste for unexpected combinations. One rating of 3/5 suggests it may not please everyone, but it remains a compelling option for curious fragrance lovers.
