Swiss Arabian Al Waseem is an Eau de Parfum. Al Waseem opens with Green Notes, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rose, Geranium, and Pepper. Swiss Arabian's Al Waseem carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Al Waseem is a proper shape-shifter, opening with a bold, almost feminine floral punch that miraculously dries down to an old-school barbershop scent. It's a challenging ride for some, but many reckon the dry-down is utterly worth the wait for this surprisingly complex and versatile scent.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, coupled with its fresh spicy and floral accords, make it suitable for a range of occasions, adapting well to casual wear and even some office settings, despite initial strong florals. Given its unique evolution, it can surprisingly fit warmer weather casual and even date nights, though its floral opening might be too bold for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an exhilarating burst of white florals, led by sparkling lily of the valley and lush jasmine, underpinned by a green, almost herbal freshness. As it settles, a rich, fresh rose emerges, spiced with a peppery kick and earthy cumin. The base eventually grounds it with subtle musky warmth, evolving into a fresh, subtly spicy, and ultimately classic aroma.
