The story behind the bottle.
Wafa by Ard Al Zaafaran, launched in 2023, is an Oriental fragrance that weaves together the warmth of spices with the depth of woods and earthy accords. The composition opens with a vibrant mix of artemisia and styrax, giving way to a heart of rose, tuberose, and iris. These floral notes contrast beautifully against the leathery, woody base of cedarwood, patchouli, vetiver, and oud. This blend creates an olfactory experience that is both richly textured and profoundly grounding.
This fragrance has a long-lasting base that blooms over time. Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points for an enduring warmth that stays close to skin rather than filling the room. It's best worn during cooler hours when its spicy and woody notes can fully unfold.
