WIDIAN Liwa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Liwa opens with Bergamot, Jasmine, Saffron, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Amber, Rose, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense. WIDIAN's Liwa carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Liwa by Widian is a divisive beast: some hail it as a smoother, fruitier, more luxurious take on popular amber-saffron heavyweights, while others find it too much or simply not living up to its desert oasis namesake. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

An opulent floriental, Liwa opens with a sparkling citrus lift from bergamot, quickly entwining with the unique aromatic bitterness of artemisia and the leathery spice of saffron. The heart unfolds with a rich, velvety rose and geranium, warmed by a deep, resinous amber. As it dries, a complex base emerges, weaving together creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, clean cedar, and a contemplative wisp of incense.
