Description
Released in 2018 by Kajal Parfums, Warde means 'rose' in Arabic — yet this is no conventional floral. Perfumer Alix Miral makes the wearer traverse a deep, green, bitter forest before arriving at the rose itself, creating an emotional journey rather than a simple floral spray.
The opening is deliberately confrontational: pine resin, blackcurrant, absinthe and artemisia deliver a bitter-green sharpness that is rare in mainstream fragrance. This tactic makes the floral heart far more meaningful when it arrives.
Rose, white flowers, violet, jasmine and orange blossom form an opulent heart; Laos oud burns quietly in the background. The base of balsam fir, patchouli, oakmoss, musk and oud weaves an earthy, resinous conclusion that lasts well beyond ten hours.
For wholesale perfume buyers seeking niche-luxury additions that command attention, Warde is a compelling choice. Particularly suited to customers who love oud-rose combinations and want something beyond mainstream alternatives.
