About This Perfume
Widian Baniyas smells like creamy, spicy oriental woods with oud. It opens with artemisia, bergamot and lavender, moves into cedarwood, geranium and Oud and settles on evernyl, patchouli and sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights and nights out. Released in 2022.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $295.
