WIDIAN III is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Jean-Claude Astier and Ali Aljaberi. III opens with Bergamot and Mint, settles into a heart of Woody and Leather, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. WIDIAN's III carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some love its unique woody-mint-leather vibe, hailing it as sophisticated and smooth. Others find it harsh and synthetic, a chemical mess. It's a divisive beast, so sample before you commit.

About

Opens with a surprisingly cool, almost frosted mint and bergamot, quickly ushering in a robust woody heart tempered by a distinct, yet supple leather note. The base settles into a creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, with a hint of vanilla adding warmth. It's an intriguing dance between fresh, green, and deep, rooted elements, giving it a complex, almost meditative quality.
