Finally a leather fragrance that I like
I'm actually not a big fan of leather fragrances, as the leather note is often too intense, dominant, earthy and far too masculine for me.
With "Liwan / ليوان | Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية", however, it's completely different.
"Liwan" starts directly fruity and leathery.
I notice a lot of davana, which I really like because the smell reminds me of prunes: sweet, with a hint of cognac and the scent of apricots.
The davana is joined by bergamot, which gives it a certain freshness.
At the same time, the leather is present. It is soft, gentle, natural and subtly woody.
I also perceive oud, but it is not animalistic, but warm and spicy.
It gives the fragrance a very nice oriental touch.
Davana and leather are the most present notes right up to the drydown, which can also be clearly perceived throughout the fragrance, with Davana slightly in the foreground.
For me, "Liwan / ليوان | Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية" is very similar to "Laathani /للاثاني | Ahmed Al Maghribi" as well as to Marj Eau de Parfum, although the oud is much more prominent in "Marj".
The longevity is very good. I perceive it for about 8 hours, on clothes even the next day.
P/L is top, as it is sometimes available for less than 20 euros.
For me, it is a unisex fragrance that has a slight masculine tendency due to the leather-oud combination, but it also goes very well with a woman because of its fruity sweetness.
It is a fragrance for spring and summer, except on very hot days of over 30° it would be a bit too much for me due to the woody spiciness.
"Liwan / ليوان | Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية" is a fruity, not too sweet oriental fragrance to which the leather note fits very well and both harmonize beautifully with each other.
I am happy that I could test "Liwan" and thank Garnele who was once again so kind and gave me the opportunity to test this fragrance.
I liked it so much that a bottle was already allowed to move into my collection some time ago.
