Swiss Arabian Wajd Eau de Parfum

Swiss Arabian Wajd Eau de Parfum, whose name translates roughly to passionate love, is a 2021 release that pairs a juicy fruity-floral opening with an earthy, ambery base, giving it a sweeter and more approachable feel than the brand's oud-focused lines.

What does Wajd smell like?

Turkish rose opens the fragrance alongside ripe apple and other fruity notes, creating a juicy, slightly jammy first impression rather than a classic rose soliflore. As it develops, the heart turns earthier: patchouli and orris root bring a powdery, slightly woody depth that grounds the fruit and keeps the composition from feeling too light. The base finishes on a warm, musky amber built from sweet notes and soft resin, giving Wajd a comforting, skin-close trail once the fruit and rose have faded. It's a fragrance that moves from bright and fruity to warm and ambery, landing somewhere between a floral and a gourmand oriental.

• Top notes: Turkish Rose, Fruity Notes, Apple
• Heart notes: Patchouli, Orris Root
• Base notes: Sweet Notes, Amber, Musk, Resin

Performance and when to wear it

It's typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the amber-musk base carrying it through several hours after the fruity opening settles. It works well in cooler weather and for evening occasions.

Who is it for?

Wajd suits wearers who enjoy fruity florals with real depth, rather than a purely light or purely sweet scent, and it works for both men and women.
