Le Style Soleil Dubai to Miami

Is it Worth It?

Wearing Le Style Soleil Dubai to Miami evokes a similar theme, but lacks the refinement of the original. One gains a generalized idea of the scent profile, but loses the carefully constructed balance and photorealistic quality of true sun-warmed skin. If you desire a complex and luxurious experience, this won't deliver. You trade depth and artistry for a one-dimensional, albeit long-lasting, impression.

Notes & Nuances

Zakat's Le Style Soleil Dubai to Miami attempts a sun-drenched floral, but stumbles in the execution. The bergamot opening is brief, replaced quickly by a cloying sweetness reminiscent of candied orange peel left out too long. The carrot seed note is present, lending an earthy counterpoint, but it reads more like stale potting soil than vegetal freshness. The heart is where it truly deviates; the white flowers lean heavily on a cheap, indolic jasmine that borders on mothballs. Any promised rose is completely obscured. The drydown offers some redemption with a smoother, vanilla-infused benzoin, but a lingering plasticky labdanum note prevents it from achieving true sophistication. It mimics the overall impression of warm, creamy florals, but lacks the nuance and sun-kissed realism of its inspiration. It smells like a simplified, somewhat artificial rendition.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is surprisingly decent, clocking in at around 5-6 hours on skin. However, projection is initially strong, reaching about an arm's length, before quickly settling into a skin scent within the first hour. I tested it in both air-conditioned office environments and warmer outdoor settings. It performed marginally better in the heat, but the initial sweetness became even more amplified, potentially overwhelming in close quarters.
