Habdan is seriously underrated, with a loyal following who call it PDM's hidden gem. It's a complex, classy blend that might not be a blind buy for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique spicy-sweet personality.

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.

Habdan's warm, spicy, and woody accords, combined with its strong projection and longevity, make it ideal for cooler weather and evening wear. While potent, it's considered office-safe with light sprays owing to its smooth, non-offensive character, and its refined nature makes it perfect for formal settings and dates.

About

Habdan opens with a distinctive warmth, immediately wrapped in saffron and frankincense. As it settles, a crisp, tart apple emerges, beautifully balanced by a subtle rose and deep, resonant woody notes. The dry down is a comforting embrace of caramel and myrrh, smoothed out by a hint of ambergris, creating a sophisticated Arabian-inspired richness that feels both sweet and fresh.
