Swiss Arabian Barq is an Eau de Parfum. Barq opens with Orange, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Woody and Rose, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Swiss Arabian's Barq carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This Arabian oil is a warming, gourmand delight that manages to be both familiar and exotic, though some find its intense spiciness a bit much. It's a fantastic entry point into Middle Eastern perfumery that punches *way* above its weight for the price point.

About

Barq opens with a bold, spicy embrace of cardamom and cinnamon, brightened by a fleeting zest of orange and tangerine. The heart unfolds with a gentle, woody rose, paving the way for a rich, sweet base. Sandalwood and amber provide a creamy depth, while brown sugar and vanilla create a delectable, dessert-like finish, all wrapped in a soft, musky warmth.
