The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Alif Dhahab by Orientica is an Oriental Floral fragrance that weaves together the rich warmth of spices with delicate florals. The composition opens with a bright citrus-green duo of bergamot and davana, which quickly gives way to a heart of rose, geranium, and jasmine. This floral bouquet is further enhanced by the depth of saffron and cloves, creating an intricate blend that feels both familiar and exotic. The base notes of cedar, sandalwood, cashmere wood, musk, and amber provide a grounding warmth, ensuring that Alif Dhahab remains intimate yet commanding.
Apply Alif Dhahab lightly for the base notes to reveal their full depth. The citrus-green top notes are fleeting, so two sprays will allow the rich spiciness and floral heart to bloom gradually throughout the day.
