Ard Al Zaafaran Riqqa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Riqqa opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Date, Tuberose, Lily, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Oud, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Ard Al Zaafaran's Riqqa carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

If you're after that Angels' Share vibe without splashing out, this is a belter. It's a reliable, crowd-pleasing scent that punches well above its weight for the price, especially if you consider it a 'safe blind buy'.

About

Imagine a rich, sweet indulgence, opening with a warm, spicy hug of nutmeg and cinnamon, brightened ever so slightly by bergamot. As it settles, gourmand praline and succulent date notes emerge, nestled amongst white florals, before melting into a luxurious base of creamy vanilla, tonka, and ancient oud, grounded by resinous benzoin and myrrh. It's a delightful dessert in a bottle, both opulent and comforting.
