Kayaan Classic / كيان

Al Wataniah

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Al Wataniah Kayaan Classic / كيان is a floral and woody unisex scent that suits autumn and winter evenings. It opens with Italian orange and Iris pallida, moves into leather and rose, and rests on ambrette, cedar, sandalwood and oud. The overall impression is sweet and powdery, with a spicy warmth and a creamy softness running through a leathery, woody base. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and very few choose summer. It is favoured for evenings and nights out, though some also wear it to the office. Though unisex, most voters find it masculine. Jovoy Touche Finale and Giardino Benessere Rea have a close profile.

Lazuli / من ولي

8.2

Al Wataniah

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Al Wataniah Lazuli / من ولي is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent built around lavender, mandarin orange and neroli. Its longevity is weak and its sillage moderate, so it reads as a light fragrance that needs refreshing through the day. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women. With few votes behind them, these ratings are only a rough guide. The top pairs lavender, rosemary, myrtle and bergamot with mandarin orange, bitter orange and lemon, and the citrus leads. In the heart, neroli, jasmine, African orange blossom and pittosporum add a soft floral layer. The base of angelica, ambrette and amber sweetens it slightly and leaves it powdery. Parfums Vintage Neroli and The Dua Brand Neroli of Genoa have a close profile.

Kayaan Terra / كيان Terra

8.5

Al Wataniah · 2025

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Al Wataniah Kayaan Terra opens on leather and frankincense and moves into patchouli, myrrh, davana and cedarwood, making a sweet, smoky unisex scent. Leather and frankincense lead at the start, then patchouli and myrrh in the heart pull the scent toward a resinous, spicy side. Davana and cedarwood in the base set that sweetness on a woody footing. The overall impression is warm, sweet and smoky, with a fougère build. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most of those who rated longevity found it strong. Its value for money also scores high. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Absolu and J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Leder 6·9 have a close profile.

Kayaan Midnight / كيان Midnight

8.3

Al Wataniah · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Al Wataniah Kayaan Midnight is a fresh, green unisex scent that sets the coolness of bergamot, mint and lemon against the warmth of cedarwood and sandalwood. It opens with bergamot, mint, artemisia and lemon, a bright citrus start. In the heart, cedarwood, geranium and green notes build a woody-green core. The base of amber and sandalwood softens and sweetens the scent, while the spicy accent stays in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room, though the number of votes is small and this should be read with caution. It suits men and women alike, and its fresh profile makes it an easy everyday choice. Burberry for Men (Eau de Toilette) and Acqua di Parma Quercia (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Shouq / شوق

9.0

Al Wataniah · 2024

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Al Wataniah Shouq / شوق is a unisex scent that sets floral and fruity sweetness on a creamy, gourmand base. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it leaves a soft trail close to the skin. The ratings come from a small number of voters, yet both longevity and value for money score high. It suits men and women alike. It opens with tangerine. In the heart, lily of the valley and jasmine are softened by milk into a powdery, creamy floral. The base of musk, maltol and vanilla pushes the sweetness forward. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Le Parfum and Rayhaan Kiss have a close profile.

Massad / مسعد

8.9

Al Wataniah · 2024

Green · Fruity · Sweet

Al Wataniah Massad / مسعد is a unisex scent that opens with fig, black tea and cardamom and settles into tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla. The top notes of fig, black tea and cardamom give a green, fruity opening with a light spiciness. In the heart, vetiver, cistus, iris and labdanum build a resinous, powdery middle. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli carries it into a creamy, gourmand, woody sweetness. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of ratings is small, so that impression is tentative. It can sit on either men or women, and its sweet, resinous build suits cooler days. Lattafa Liam / ليام and French Avenue Francique 63.55 have a close profile.

Attar Al Wesal

8.5

Al Wataniah

Citrus · Green · Fruity

Al Wataniah Attar Al Wesal is a unisex scent that opens with bergamot, lemon and mint and settles into a sweet vanilla and amber base, pairing citrus freshness with spice and a gourmand sweetness. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though with few votes this should be read cautiously. It has no fixed gender and can be worn by men and women alike. The top of bergamot, lemon, mint, pear and lavender is fresh and fruity. Caraway, cinnamon and clary sage bring a spicy heart. In the base, vanilla, patchouli, cedar and amber dry down warm, resinous and oriental. A green accord runs through it, and the citrus brightness is balanced by the gourmand sweetness. Emir Atomise Intensive Men and Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Mâle have a close profile.
