About This Perfume

WIDIAN by Gulf Orchid is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. WIDIAN was launched in 2014. WIDIAN was created by Jordi Fernández, Nathalie Lorson, Randa Hammami, Philippine Courtière, Jean Claude Astier, Dominique Ropion and Hamid Merati-Kashani. Top notes are Black Pepper, Bergamot and Lavender; middle notes are Frankincense, Pimento and Ebony; base notes are Amberwood, Vanilla and Tobacco. An olfactory composition that balances contrasting elements, combining smoldering and fresh characteristics with a rich yet airy quality. Black pepper and lavender form a striking contrast at the opening, while incense and frankincense provide deep resonance in the heart. The base unfolds with vanilla, blond tobacco, and amberwood, creating a layered composition that develops gradually on the skin.

The Brand

Gulf Orchid

Gulf Orchid holds 132 perfumes on Scendira, and sweet is the defining accord by a wide margin: 62 of 132 perfumes carry it, well ahead of woody (42) and vanilla (41). Vanilla (56) and musk (53) are the leading notes, so this is Scendira's most dessert-forward, gourmand-leaning brand. Prices stay affordable throughout, $20 to $51.55, median $35. The catalogue is heavily unisex (110 of 132), with feminine (15) and masculine (11) both minor. By community mentions, Mango Ice leads clearly at 58, more than double Rice Milk (26), with Tahara Vanilla (22) and the Sweet Heaven line close behind.

Is Gulf Orchid Right for You?

Best for: vanilla-gourmand shoppers who want a sweet, dessert-leaning scent at an affordable price, this is the most gourmand-forward brand on Scendira by accord count. Sample first if: you're sensitive to strong sweetness, Mango Ice and the Sweet Heaven line lean candy-sweet up close before settling. Skip if: you want something crisp or purely woody, only 15 of 132 perfumes are fresh-accord and just 42 lean woody. Gourmand is the natural next stop if you want more of exactly this.
