Ard Al Zaafaran Perfumes Elegant Collection For Men & Women (Al Ibdaa Gold)

A packaging is beautiful! This just might be my favorite scent. I have discovered thus far.If you smell the bottle, you smell a lot of the fruit and citrus but once you spray it and allow it to settle, it really does have a very soft warm, powdery scent that compliments the fruity notes very very well. Smells like skin Right after a fragrant bath with a touch of baby powder.I don’t think this fragrance needs anything more, but I’m going to try to layer this with cocoa butter and cashmere scented lotion or oils.

This fragrance is a love for me. I was expecting it to be not so great I had a lot of mixed reviews I was hearing that the fragrance was good and it was bad it was soapy it didn't last long it smelled too chemically. Put on my skin this is a smooth creamy coconut vanilla with some citrus and some florals in the background. I don't know about anyone else but this was a well blended coconut vanilla fragrance for me I've been looking for a coconut and vanilla fragrance that didn't smell too chemical or too synthetic and I think I found it this was five stars for me love it

Blind bought this fragrance and I’m glad I did! On the first spray, you definitely get all of those beautiful top notes of coconut, lime, and tangerine. As it dries, that bergamot, musk, and ylang ylang really comes through and it’s not overwhelming at all. It’s a beautiful citrusy and creamy fragrance that I think could go well with the white floral notes of “J’adore” by Dior. Definitely perfect for the summer and a safe blind buy if you love tropical fragrances! The only downside is I don’t love the brown strap going across the side of the bottle. Doesn’t impact the scent in any way- just not as aesthetically pleasing to me lol. 4/5 stars though, love it!

It will last the whole day, even when you wash your clothes

The smell was the first thing that was disappointing. When you first spray it in the air, the smell gives what it’s supposed to, but as soon as it dries down it smells like soap. that and powder notes are the only things you can smell. I was so disappointed, i was expecting fresh coconut with fruit notes but after a few minutes it’s just a clean (soap) smell. The soap smell is also subtle, I had to put my wrist up to my nose to be able to smell it after two hours but i’m not sure if it’ll be different on clothes.I tried it a few times just to be sure and even checked with other people, my family didn’t like it either. Regifted it the first chance i got since it’s not returnable.(If y’all want a nice fresh fruity but not overly sweet perfume try Mayar by Lattafa, similar price point but it’s good n i’ve finished a whole bottle, packaging is soo cute too)Pros:There’s a ton of perfume in the bottleIt’s a nice heavy bottle, good qualityCons:Box arrived damaged in the inside, the bottle wasn’t held in place but the bottle was fine, box was not (can’t tell from the outside)The leather isn’t fitted to the bottle so it wrinkles on the sides a bit, not a big deal just messes a tiiiny bit with the aesthetics

Smells so good but don’t over spray, it’s a strong fragrance.

Blind buy and also my first Arab fragrance. I was looking for a sweet, fruity scent that was more mature. VERY MUSKY AND POWDERY SCENT. Almost astringent at first spray but it dries down very nicely. The patchouli base note is very prominent. If you don’t like musk and powder notes then you will hate this. Luckily I love musk notes. This fragrance is one of my new favorites. Layers wonderfully with super fruity perfumes. Definitely a mature fragrance tho. Long lasting as well 4-5 hours. Only 1-2 sprays needed. Reminds me of beautiful by Estée Lauder.Update- it has a nice Carmel and amber note to it as it sits on the skin. This fragrance definitely gets better as it ages.

The bottle is pretty big! When I first sprayed it I didn’t know how to feel about it but once it settled on my skin it was great. It smells like tanning lotion in the beginning but than has a nice coconut smell.. it does wear off quickly though
