Al Ghadeer is a sweet, fresh, and floral fragrance with a strong citrus and gourmand base, centered around rose and jasmine with supporting notes of patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla. It opens with a bright burst of orange and lemon, followed by a lush floral heart that includes rose, jasmine, and white flower accords. The dry down reveals a warm, woody-musky base with notes of oud, patchouli, and vanilla, creating a layered and sensual effect. The fragrance shifts from a dewy, feminine floral into a more mature, oriental profile as it settles, gaining depth and warmth. Though it leans heavily feminine in its pure form, many note its unisex potential when layered or worn with complementary oils. It performs well in warm weather and is praised for its moderate to long lasting sillage and perfomance, especially when applied generously. While some find it overly sweet or reminiscent of generic pink air fresheners, others appreciate its sophisticated balance, longevity, and ability to serve as a base for layering.
