Al Baariz is an aromatic, citrus, woody scent created for Men.
Review
This scent is light and clean with subtle hints of Fougere qualities. A Hesperides note adds a blend of citrus essences that blends with a hint of Apple and the sweet essences of Coumarin and Vanilla. A blend of Woody Notes keeps things from going too sweet. Its refreshing quality makes it perfect for any scenario from work, to drinks with friends, to running errands, to hanging out around the house. Though it has a casual vibe to it, it can easily be dressed up for formal occasions. It will work well in all seasons, and will last while remaining light. It is comparable to scents like Tumi Atlas, Gentle Fluidity Gold from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and Hacivat from Nishane.
Inspiration
Al Baariz roughly translates to “Prominent” and is styled after the classic men’s fragrances that dominate the options for Men over many fragrance counters.
The bottle takes inspiration from the relationship between Man and Horse, which has transcended time.
Notes
Hesperides opens this scent with a brightness. It is basically a blend of oils made from the peels of different citruses. Orange Blossom and Apple add a subtle sweetness which blends well with the sweetness of Sandalwood. Woody Notes add a gentle depth that mellows the sweetness coming from Vanilla and Coumarin. Musk adds a gentle wispy vibe to the finish of this scent, which dries down to a fresh and lightly woody scent, with hints of sweetness that keep it light.
