Some fragrances are built on a place, others on a memory. MBZ — Chapter 10 is built on a vision: the spirit of modern Emirati leadership, composed as one of the most celebrated creations in our library.
Vision 2071, in Fragrance Form
MBZ belongs to our Tolerance Collection and carries the subtitle Vision 2071 — a reference to the UAE's centennial vision for the future. Created by our founder-perfumer Saeed Al Nuaimi, the fragrance is inspired by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and the values his leadership represents: tolerance, innovation, and progress.
Translating ideas like clarity and forward movement into scent is the kind of challenge niche perfumery exists for. The answer here is a composition that feels bright, clean, and quietly powerful — nothing heavy, nothing ornamental, everything intentional.
What MBZ Smells Like
Top: Grapefruit
Heart: Ginger • Ambrette
Base: Ambroxan • Musk • Vetiver • Patchouli
The opening is a vibrant burst of grapefruit — energy and brightness, like early morning light over the Corniche. Ginger and ambrette bring a warm, refined modernity to the heart: aromatic, slightly spicy, impeccably groomed. Then the base settles in for the long run — ambroxan and musk for that clean, magnetic radiance, anchored by vetiver and patchouli for depth and resilience.
Olfactive family: Fresh • Woody • Musky. If most Arabian perfumery speaks in rich, opulent tones, MBZ speaks in a confident, contemporary voice — proof that Emirati fragrance can be as fresh as it is deep.
An Extrait de Parfum That Wears Like a Fresh Scent
Here's what surprises people: MBZ is an extrait de parfum (85ml) — the highest concentration in perfumery — in a fresh-woody style. Most fresh fragrances fade by lunch; MBZ carries its grapefruit-and-ambroxan signature from the morning meeting to the evening majlis. That combination — fresh character, extrait performance — is rare, and it's why this chapter became one of our best-sellers.
Who Is MBZ For?
- Professionals who want a polished signature scent that performs all day without overwhelming a meeting room
- Lovers of fresh-woody fragrances looking for far better longevity than the typical designer fresh scent
- Anyone drawn to scents with meaning — this is a fragrance about ambition and optimism, wearable by anyone, anywhere
How to Wear It
MBZ is the most versatile chapter in our library: office-safe, summer-proof, and equally at home in London drizzle or Dubai heat. Two sprays in the morning will see you through the day. It pairs especially well with crisp tailoring — a scent that stands up straight.
