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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Warda Al Oud opens with a fleeting zest of bergamot before diving headfirst into a rich floral heart. Osmanthus and jasmine intertwine with a dominant, smoky rose, enveloped by a subtle, clean musk. As it dries, a gentle, non-barnyard oud emerges, supported by a warm amber, creating a deep and luxurious foundation that feels both exotic and comforting.
