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.
