Ard Al Zaafaran Dirham Wardi Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce / 100ml

I think this might be my first review on here. I don't typically write reviews but I thought this was actually a pretty lovely perfume. If you like floral scents you'll like this. I prefer fruity scents but I decided to try something new. I ordered this pretty blindly but I was actually kind of surprised. Just a warning, when you first spray it, it is pretty strong. But the longer you wear it the softer the scent gets. Once it's soft it smells a lot better, at least in my opinion. The bottle it came in didn't have any issues at all. It's a beautiful bottle. I have only had this for not even a full day so I am not sure how long it lasts. But I will edit this later on to see if it does end up lasting long. Overall I'm pretty pleased! -- Edit: The scent ended up lasting about a little more than a day. It lasted a full day and into the next morning, at least on skin. As for fabric such as bedsheets, it lasted me about three days give or take.

The bottle is beautiful. It is a pale pink and looks wonderful with my collection. I was looking for a dupe that came close to Shalimar. Your grannie probably wore it. I love the scent. But it is so expensive. Ard Al Zaafaran Dirham Wardi Eau De Parfum was recommended as a close dupe. I like it. It has a musky and woodsy top note. I am learning how to identify scents. It fades after a time so I have to re-apply. If you like a spicy musky scent go for it.

UPDATE: 4/19/25 Hi, I'm updating my review on this perfume & giving 5 STARS, instead of 4. YES, this scent does linger on clothing & fabrics for a few days. Apply it to your bed linens & pillow cases..you definitely won't regret it!! So, I had previously stated that it's longevity on my skin didn't last & had faded quickly within an hour. I take that back! It's not the case at all. I did spray my bed with this BEAUTIFUL smell & it still remains a few days later. I decided to give it another try on my skin & body. (I always keep a perfume or perfume roll on oil with me for work, because my job is being outside in this Florida HEAT during the majority of my shift.) For the last two days, I wore it at work & I COULD SMELL IT (finally) & so could others. Something smelled so NICE & I realized it was ME. I received MANY compliments from women & men. Asking me what I was wearing? It's not overpowering or too strong! I don't know what happened before & why I felt that it didn't last on my skin or I couldn't smell it? Maybe the bottle had to sit, after opening & let it do it's thing? Lol. It lasted PAST my 8hr shift for work. The more I perspirated (sweating out here in the Florida), the "stronger" it got. That's why I wear "perfume oils" most of the time. (But this isn't an oil.) I, assure you, it's an attention grabber & those who are around WILL follow the "lovely" scent trail you leave behind. It's truly "PLEASURE IN A BOTTLE" & I'll be ordering more for myself & some friends.

It smells soooo good! But it’s a shame it doesn’t last too long.

Smells so nice I get compliments all the time

When I first sprayed this, the projection was too powdery for my liking. I only applied a small amount on my wrist, but the initial scent was overwhelming. However, the dry down is much better—it’s less powdery and more pleasant. Unfortunately, the powdery note at the start was too much for me. I prefer fragrances that are more floral and fruity with an upbeat vibe. I want a perfume that I truly love, not just something that looks pretty on my shelf. This fragrance feels more suited to a grown woman, but it doesn’t exude sexiness. On the plus side, it’s very long-lasting. Even after washing my hands several times, I could still smell it five hours later, and the scent lingered into the next day, which was quite lovely. It definitely smells better after it settles. However, I need a perfume that I can enjoy from the first spray to the last, and unfortunately, this one isn’t for me. Note: The perfume bottle itself seemed new, but I’m still a little skeptical. The bottom of the bottle was chipped, and the sticker was half off. The plastic wrapping was held together with clear tape, and the pink ribbon was just loosely placed in the Amazon box. Also, the tag hanging from the bottle was stuck underneath the silver spray top, which was odd.

I loved it so much I used the whole bottle in less than 3 weeks in summer. It smells so good and feminine. But it doesn’t last long. I am okay with it for the price. No leakages at all and I travelled with it to another continent! Beautiful and youthful scent but not childish! I’m definitely going to buy it again!

smells good

Meiner Frau hat der Duft sehr gefallen. Wenn es Sie glücklich macht, bin ich auch zufrieden

Tient vraiment très longtemps, sans être entêtant. Bien sûr, le parfum a des effluves orientales, mais Originales. Un parfum automne-hiver. Il se marie bien aussi avec la laine, le cuir, les cheveux.

Buen aroma es para regalo y le gusto

As it was my first arab purchase I had so many expectations on this one. I thought it would be more floral but it smell like soap . Like a cheap soap and so random like i feel it at every woman in supermarket.

Questo profumo è una chicca. Seppur il prezzo sia molto basso è un profumo che merita tantissimo. Nota principale la peonia, durabilità lunga e lascia la scia con pochissimi spruzzi. Una serata di complimenti garantita.
