Ard Al Zaafaran

Ard Al Zaafaran is an Emirati house that often offers the same accord in three forms: the eau de parfum, the bakhour to burn, and the room freshener. The products on this page are dominated by Ameerat Al Arab, Bint Hooran, Teef Al Hub and the Dirham family.

Which eau de parfum should you choose?

• Ameerat Al Arab 50 ml — fruity amber floral, the house's most requested, unisex with a feminine lean.
• Bint Hooran — rose and fruit over an amber base, sweeter and rounder.
• Teef Al Hub — light musky floral, wearable every day and in hot weather.
• Dirham Oud — oud, woods and spices, the darkest of the four, one to keep for the evening.
• Pure Musk — powdery white musk, discreet, the safe choice for the office.

The house's bakhours

Bakhour is a wood chip soaked in fragrant oils that is heated on a charcoal or an electric burner: two or three chips scent a room within minutes, and the smell lingers on fabrics. Ard Al Zaafaran makes them in the same accords as its perfumes — Ameerat Al Arab, Bint Hooran, Oud Mood. They are gathered on a dedicated page: Ard Al Zaafaran bakhours and incense.

Staying power and sillage

The eaux de parfum are highly concentrated: two sprays are enough, and just one for the oud compositions. On clothing, the woody-amber base is still perceptible the next day.
