Dar Al Hae For Men

Dar Al Hae For Men is the men's perfume in the Ard Al Zaafaran range, and it is a different fragrance from the women's Dar Al Hae that shares the name. It is sold in a deep blue bottle with a silver crown cap, and the Arabic on the label reads for men. The opening is bright and fresh, built on bergamot and other citrus fruit. The retailers that describe it call it aquatic and fruity at first, and some wearers find a lemony, slightly synthetic edge in the first minutes. The heart brings jasmine for a light floral touch and cashmere wood, which adds a soft, clean woodiness. The dry-down is where it improves for many wearers. After a couple of hours the scent turns clean and soft, like fresh soap or a spa, with a comforting quality that some did not expect from the start. Longevity and sillage are average, so it is a close, easy scent rather than a loud one. It is a casual, warm-weather choice for spring and summer, and it is smart enough for the office. It sits in the fresh citrus lane that many value-priced Arabian fragrances copy from designer sports fragrances, and at a price of a few pounds it is hard to fault for the money. The production is thought to be discontinued by some listings, so stock can be patchy. If you want something rich, sweet or long lasting, this is not it. If you want a clean daily citrus, it is a good cheap option.
