About
Classique Intense by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Classique Intense was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Kurkdjian. Top notes are Tiare Flower and Pomegranate; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Vanilla and Patchouli. In the summer of 2014 Jean Paul Gaultier is launching a new version of his signature and ultra-popular perfume Classique from 1993. Francis Kurkdjian is the one "renovating" this perfume, not wanting it to lose its identity and powdery-floral character, but rather wanting to give it a new "twist" and modern interpretation. Classique Intense thus consists of two separate units: 40% of the fragrance is the original creation, and 60% are new, added components. The new composition is described as a vivacious, intensive, oriental and solar, containing notes of tiare, pomegranate and gourmand accords at the top, with the heart of orange blossom, rose and jasmine and the base of patchouli and vanilla. It is available in bottles of 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

About
Dirham Wardi by Ard Al Zaafaran is a fragrance for women. Top notes are Rose, Orange Blossom, Pear and Black Currant; middle notes are Praline, Iris and Jasmine; base notes are Patchouli, Vanilla and Tonka Bean. "Dirham Wardi is considered our most popular of our women's fragrances. For the modern woman, this fragrance delivers a modern and offbeat vision of feminine elegance where respect for conventions, benevolence and a taste for shared pleasures are combined with daring and spontaneity. Between undisputed delicacy and assertive femininity. It is a very intriguing eau de parfum, playing on contrasts as if to better arouse astonishment. Thus, Dirham Wardi diffuses the wonderful scent of blackcurrant, orange blossom, pear and rose as a top note. Jasmine and iris and praline are present in the heart note. The whole is tickled by vanilla, tonka bean and a hint of patchouli. Dirham Wardi is perfect for the modern woman." - a note from the brand.
