Al Wataniah Bareeq Al Dhahab is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Bareeq Al Dhahab opens with Rose, Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Oud, Patchouli, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Incense. Al Wataniah's Bareeq Al Dhahab carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This Arabian heavy-hitter is a divisive beast: some hail it as a luxurious, powerful oud-rose combo, others find it an overwhelming, even 'disgusting' experience. It's a proper cold-weather monster, not for the faint-hearted.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't an office-friendly scent. Its intensity and warm, oriental notes make it ideal for evening dates or formal events, especially in colder weather. Many reviewers note its power and advise caution in enclosed spaces.

About

Bareeq Al Dhahab opens with a bold, almost 'fizzy' burst of rose, sharpened by pepper and the distinctive leatheriness of saffron. As it settles, a rich, complex heart emerges where creamy caramel sweetens a prominent, smoky oud, intertwined with earthy patchouli and hints of other florals. The base deepens into a long-lasting embrace of warm amber, resinous incense, and musk, all underpinned by dark woody notes.
