Ard Al Zaafraan Al Dirgham. Review of seller and fragrance.

Just bought a bottle of Al Dirgham from Talib.

My experience of purchasing was excellent. Talib has been responsive, and held his patience in spite of multiple payment glitches. 10/10 would recommend. Order to delivery took 3 days, so pretty quick.

Now on to the fragrance itself. I have tried a decant of this one, and I liked it immensely. My better half being pleased with this scent did help.

I’ll try to review this one briefly, and like a layman that I am. The most prominent note in this is one of white florals. For newbies who find ‘white florals’ puzzling, think of clean, light, airy, less sweet floral smells. This makes for a very elegant wearing experience for me. Apart from the above, what I personally smell is a slight bit of citrus in the background that makes it feel very fresh. It also helps reduce the sweetness of the floral notes. Lastly, I get a bit of musk(?). I hope I’m not wrong here. But there’s like a musky flowery note in the dry down. There may be something else to it, I’m just stating what I sense. The performance on this is good for the class of fragrance that it sits in.

My encapsulated impressions of this one are as follows:- clean-fresh-elegant-inoffensive-sporty-light.

Another aspect I felt about this one is that it smells better in the air than it does when sniffing off of a paper strip. I don’t know how or why. It just does. Maybe the paper adds or subtracts something.

As for the packaging, it’s actually better than many designer fragrances. The box is oversized and feels substantial. Surface is a soft touch paper coating which feels great. It comes with a 20mL travel spray as well. The bottle itself is a gleaming gold bottle, which at first glance looks opaque, but is actually transcluscent.

Here I conclude my review & experience, and appreciate your time.
