The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 and crafted by Abdulla Ajmal, Watani Akhdar is a Aromatic Fougere fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with fresh spicy notes and green accords that evoke the crispness of early morning walks through a lush landscape. The heart transitions into an aromatic bouquet, where bergamot and other citrusy elements blend seamlessly with woody undertones. As it settles, Watani Akhdar reveals its depth through oud and leather notes, creating a warm and enveloping base that lingers on the skin.
Watani Akhdar is long-lasting with moderate sillage, so one or two sprays will carry you through the day. It’s best to let it settle for about an hour after application to fully appreciate its evolving notes. Avoid layering heavily in warmer weather, as the spicy and woody accords can feel a bit intense.
