OJAR Halwa Kiss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Dalia Izem. Halwa Kiss opens with Cardamom, Saffron, and Pistachio, settles into a heart of Date, Rose, Honey, and Roasted Nuts, and dries down to a base of Sesame, Amber, and Vanilla. OJAR's Halwa Kiss carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and bold, this 'golden non-edible gourmand' is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, honeyed embrace that some find irresistible, others simply 'nauseating and sinus inducing'.

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 autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with a rich, sweet gourmand profile, make it less suitable for office or sport. It truly shines in intimate date settings or sophisticated formal evenings, though some find it versatile enough for casual wear in colder weather.

Declarable allergens

About

Halwa Kiss opens with a warm, spiced invitation of cardamom and saffron, hinting at an unusual sweetness. Soon, a golden river of rich honey and dates flows through, complemented by the nutty depth of pistachio and roasted nuts. As it settles, a smooth, almost powdery vanilla and amber embrace a distinctive, slightly toasted sesame note, creating a luxurious and complex gourmand experience.
