Baniyas

Baniyas by Widian is one of those rare perfumes that stops you in your tracks. There's an immediate sense of elegance and mystery to it. Created by master perfumer, Jordi Fernandez (one of my favourite perfumers), it’s surprising how different this feels from his usual style. It's more understated, more enigmatic, but still undeniably masterful. I can't easily pick out the individual notes, and honestly, I don't really care about that. In my opinion, everything blends so seamlessly that it feels more like a mood than a list of ingredients. It’s smooth, sweet and slightly woody. The kind of scent that doesn't shout, but somehow lingers in people’s memory. It's long lasting and has strong projection. I rate it 9/10.

Absolutely intoxicating. This might be my favorite discovery of the year so far. Neither the notes nor the note breakdown does any justice to the fragrance, it should be sweet-floral-woody-aromatic in my opinion. It is the most velvety sweet geranium floriental that I ever laid my nose on. Extremely well blended, long lasting but soft at the same time. I don’t detect any oud and if any at all it doesn’t show up on my skin. Patchouli is there not overwhelmingly so but more as a supporting note adding some depth. I believe it is a unisex fragrance but leans a tad bit to feminine side due to its sweetness.

Banyias made me say wow. It is a very balanced fragrance, with a citrusy, juicy opening, which meets soft, non-pungent lavender and artemisia, a note that I adore. In the evolution it becomes woody and creamy, with a fresh base that makes your head spin. I really liked it, it ended up on my wishlist, because smelling these kind of compositions makes me feel good and happy, and this is one of them. “Romantic Landscape” painted by Kandinsky.

Um perfume fora do radar que é espetacular !!! Baniyas WIDIAN consegue ser elegante, sensual, marcante e bem exclusivo. Apesar de eu achar um pouco mais para o público feminino, eu uso com frequência e recebo muitos elogios por onde passo. Fixação fantástica com boa projeção, deixando você cheiroso por muito tempo. Frasco lindíssimo e um ótimo borrifador. Vale muito a compra ! Aroma: 9/10 Fixação: 9/10 Projeção: 8/10 Nota final: 8.7/10

This is absolutely gorgeous, Initio Paragon and Widian Baniyas are cousin. If you like Paragon you’ll like this. Sillage is amazing, paragon is fresher and less flowery sweet. Longevity is amazing 10/10 The way this perfume house blend perfume is just chefs kiss. Just purchase New York as all 3 blind buys I purchased thus far have been amazing.
