Badar

This is one of my favorite Al Haramain fragrances. It is absolutely unique, yet it does remind me a bit of a particular accord that appears in some Jeanne Arthes scents: an adept balancing of clean lavender against sweet florals, creating a smooth something that smells both sweet and clean without being either overtly feminine nor masculine. I love it personally. Badar starts off with a soapiness- like the finest, creamiest milled soap that you can imagine- but underneath and beyond this can be sensed a rising, complex aroma of sweet woods and delicate blossoms drenched in honey. I sometimes imagine also that I am smelling sweet tobacco, like the fumes of shisha from far away. There is an intoxicating peacefulness about this fragrance, like seeing a moonlit sky through the open, arched windows of a room lit by colourful lanterns, close friends sitting and reclining nearby, discussing life and all of its wonder.

Scent: 8 I feel It as a sweet floral fragance. What i smell the most is honey, rose and patchouli. Longevity: 10 It is a very long lasting perfume. It lasts around 6 hours on my skin. Problem id that being an oil cannot be used on clothes. Sillage: 8 The projection is good. It doesnt leaves a Big trail bit people can feel It for q long time. Quality/price: 10 4.50€/15ml (what lasts as 150 ml of an alcohol based perfume) os quite incredible. I recommend blind buy cause if yoy dont like It can give It away without loosing much money. Versatility: 10 Badar is a totally versatile perfume. More for a daily use maybe. I feel It totally unisex too, i dont feel It more feminine , but It is true that It is honey and flowers so if yoy are a Guy and dont like this kind of sweet scent dont use It. It goes un the líne of black orchid so if yoy like that one this is for you. Global: 8

Badar is my go-to comfy scent, it's a grounding, feminine, comforting hug. Somehow, I can imagine a distinguished man dabbing a tiny bit on himself, perhaps to layer it? Within seconds of application, I detect honey (which lasts throughout, enhancing each individual note), a juicy citrus (which fades within 10 mins or so), and a watery, but lovely musky rose. The scent develops throughout the day, but maintains some linearity. Curiously, I think I pick up on some water lilies, which blends wonderfully with the lavender note. I like to apply a little on my clothes, because it somehow skips the initial citrusy note I find a little off-putting. However, the citrus itself is good, I am just not a fan of citrus accords to begin with. I find myself wearing the perfume more at home, because it's so calming and helps decompress after a long day. It's a sweet, homey delight <3

my favourite scent from this line. It's very powerful, extreme longevity and enormous sillage. i agree with jesse, it's more masculine than unisex(in my opinion), but this is subjective!. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! it's a magic scent! i like to wear it in cold weather but i love to wear it in the summer nights too! It's sweet but not too sweet and lavander mixed with musk make it also fresh in some way. Patchouli, amber, musk, lavander, honey and rose (the rose is very well blended so it doesn't turn into a "only for women" scent). Pure magic and it's inexpensive (but it does not smell cheap!). To me this is a must have!

Very very unique and pretty. Opens with the sweet honey and rose. The honey note quickly fades as lavender presents. The honey makes this a sweet rose but the lavender keeps it from getting too rosy or too honey, though it is a bit jammy. Herbal jam. There's underlying musk, too. Loving it. Glad I grabbed it for the price point. In the final drydown it reminds me a bit of the base of Lancome's L'Autre Oud and Oud Bouquet though there is no oud on this ride.
