Al Fareed Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A polished French reading of the Middle Eastern oud template. Raspberry and rose brighten the opening, saffron and labdanum do the heavy lifting, and the oud arrives smooth and resinous rather than medicinal.
Al Fareed is a decadent and opulent scent ideal for evening wear and grand occasions.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Oud, guaiac wood, labdanum and vanilla make a dense resinous base that needs cold air to sit properly. In summer heat the saffron and smoky wood become cloying.
Occasions
Heavy projection and an unmistakable oud signature push this firmly towards evenings and formal wear. It is too assertive for shared workspaces and wholly unsuited to sport.
Seasons
The rich and warm accords make it ideal for cooler weather, but its versatility allows it to be worn in transitional seasons like spring and fall as well.
Occasions
With strong projection and luxurious notes, it fits well for formal and romantic settings rather than casual or sporty environments.
