Dirham Wardi
by Ard Al Zaafaran
Dirham Wardi is a soft, sweet, and feminine floral fragrance with prominent rose and white floral accords, enhanced by juicy pear, praline, and warm vanilla, all subtly grounded by patchouli and tonka bean. It has a clean, delicate profile that feels both elegant and approachable—like a refined, modern white flower eau de parfum. The scent unfolds with early fruity freshness that evolves into a creamy, powdery gourmand core, with a soft, comforting dry down that lingers gently on skin. Despite moderate longevity and sillage—lasting up to 5 hours on most skin types—it performs well in warm climates and feels more substantial than its price suggests. Many appreciate its ability to resemble high-end fragrances like Miss Dior, La Vie Est Belle, or Carolina Herrera Good Girl without being a direct dupe, offering a gentle, flattering, and universally appealing aroma perfect for daytime wear. It earns praise for being a standout blind buy with strong appeal across age groups and settings.
