The story behind the bottle.
Dirham Gold by Ard Al Zaafaran, launched in 2022, is a fragrance that blends the warmth of vanilla and spices with the freshness of green and aromatic notes. This unisex scent opens with herbal notes and pineapple, giving way to bergamot and jasmine before settling into a base of sandalwood, tonka bean, and vetiver. The composition is both sweet and spicy, creating an inviting yet sophisticated aroma that reflects Ard Al Zaafaran’s commitment to crafting experiences beyond the ordinary.
Dirham Gold has moderate longevity and sillage, so applying it in layers allows the scent to develop fully. Start with one spray on your pulse points and allow each layer to build over an hour for a more complex experience.
