About This Perfume
Ard Al Zaafaran Hayaati Oud smells like smoky oud with creamy caramel and a whisper of rose. It opens with orange and saffron, moves into caramel, rose and tuberose and settles on Oud and vanilla. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2022.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and warm for nights out.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $29.
