The story behind the bottle.
Tafakhar by Ard Al Zaafaran, launched in 2023, is an Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and citrus, which quickly gives way to the rich warmth of nutmeg, cumin, and rose. The heart of jasmine adds a soft floral touch, while the base notes of incense, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and oud create an enveloping smoky warmth that lingers throughout the day.
One or two sprays are sufficient as the smoky base notes linger for hours. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin, making it ideal for indoor settings like cozy living rooms or intimate gatherings.
