About This Perfume
Daar Al Shabaab Royal by Ard Al Zaafaran is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Top notes are Juniper Berries, Mate and Sweet Grass; middle notes are Green Tea and Grass; base notes are Leather, Ambergris, Tonka Bean and Agarwood (Oud). "Daar Al Shabaab Royal is an oriental fragrance capable of projecting you into the high mountains of the East. A slightly leathery green scent, this original fragrance strikes with its deep and sought-after notes! Let yourself be surprised. Daar Al Shabaab Royal transports us to the horizon and the inaccessible. On an opening of juniper berries, flouve and mate. The wind brings you to a heart of green tea and fresh grass. Finally on a galloping background of leather, ambergris, tonka bean and a background of oud wood. Do not leave indifferent, woody-herbaceous-leathery eau de parfum for men and women." - a note from the brand.
