Swiss Arabian Waqar is an Eau de Parfum. Waqar opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Mint, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Rose, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Swiss Arabian's Waqar carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Those zingy citrus notes up top promise a fresh ride, but some find the dry down a bit of a damp squib. It's not bad, but it might not be the harmonious blend you're hoping for.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date

The initial citrus burst makes it versatile for casual wear, but the warm spicy and leather dry down shifts it towards evening or cooler weather. It's too prominent for most office settings, and the lack of a smooth transition makes it less ideal 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

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Waqar opens with a lively, almost zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, sharpened by a clean hit of mint. This vibrant introduction quickly makes way for a heart of warm spices and a subtle, jammy rose. As it settles, a foundation of rich leather emerges, supported by creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, with a hint of ambergris adding a touch of smooth depth. The overall journey aims for a balance between fresh and warm, but can feel a little disjointed.
