The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Warda by Swiss Arabian is an Oriental Floral fragrance that weaves together a rich blend of white floral and aromatic notes with fresh and warm spices. The composition opens with black locust and mandarin orange, providing a bright freshness that transitions into the heart of hyacinth, carnation, jasmine, and tuberose. These florals are complemented by fruity accords like plum and peach, adding a touch of sweetness. As it settles, ginger and coriander introduce a warm spiciness that is balanced by sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, musk, and vanilla, creating a luxurious and inviting base.
Apply this fragrance lightly; the opening freshness can be overpowering if used too heavily. It blooms beautifully over time, so a few sprays on pulse points will allow the warm base notes to develop gradually throughout the day.
