Vendor: Ard Al Zaafaran
Hareem Al Sultan
dark chocolate dusted with spiced florals and creamy vanilla

Bright citrus and ginger tea: Ard Al Zaafaran Saheb Intense is fresh with a smoky whisper. Bergamot and mint open it cool and clean. Ginger, black tea and lavender give the heart a warm, aromatic calm. Ambroxan, cinnamon and frankincense make a lightly spiced, smoky base. Released in 2024, it is unisex and reads citrus, fresh, floral and aquatic.
It is a daytime scent for spring, summer and fall, and the community fits it to casual days and the office. It is uplifting and skin-close, a calm tea scent that suits long workdays and warm afternoons. It feels clean and composed rather than loud.
Expect moderate longevity and projection to about arm's length.
Around $28.
