About This Perfume
Widian Samar smells like smoky oud tea with sweet garden flowers. It opens with pink pepper, raspberry and bergamot, moves into gardenia, jasmine and cinnamon and settles on Oud, labdanum and patchouli. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2025.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. 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 grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $201.

The verdict

- Night out
Widian (formerly AJ Arabia) is an Emirati luxury niche house, one of the few Gulf-origin houses positioned squarely in the serious-niche price band rather than the value tier that dominates most UAE/Saudi-branded fragrance. The 20 live pieces on Scendira average .98 and lean unisex (10 of 20) with a large unspecified-gender group (8). Family reads Gourmand (6) with Fresh, Woody, Fruity, Leather and Clean & Musky supporting. Prices are firmly niche: $200-$415 (average $270). Standout live pieces: Rose Arabia Ginger ($200,.52, zesty ginger tea with soft violet petals), London ($295,.35, soft violet perfume, leather-jacket warmth, sweet oud), New York ($295,.29, caramel-tinged amber with vanilla and soft rose), Limited 71 ($415,.29, smoky oud incense, warm amber on musky skin) and Yasat ($295,.26, warm caramel spice wrapped in creamy wood). The Emirati-luxury answer to a Western-niche shopper.
