About

Wafa opens with a sweet, almost gourmand flourish of rose and spices, hinting at a luxurious indulgence. This quickly deepens into a plush heart where creamy iris and heady jasmine mingle with soft, worn leather and earthy cedar. The dry down is a decadent blend of dark oud, resinous amber, and a prominent, smooth patchouli, creating a lasting impression of rich, woody warmth.
