Arba Wardat

Rasasi Arba Wardat dupe, inspired by the original

Rasasi Arba Wardat, whose name means four roses, is a rich, opulent floral from one of the Middle East’s most respected perfume houses. It layers a full bouquet of roses and jasmine over a warm, resinous base for a scent that feels luxurious and long lasting. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Rasasi is a long established house from the United Arab Emirates, known for blending traditional Arabian richness with a more accessible, wearable style. Arba Wardat is one of its celebrated florals, built to showcase the rose, the most prized flower in Middle Eastern perfumery, in a generous, full bodied way.

Bergamot and lemon open it bright and fresh, then a lush heart of jasmine, rose and ylang ylang blooms opulent and full, and a base of amber, musk and sandalwood gives it a warm, resinous depth. It smells rich and floral without feeling old fashioned, generous in the way the best Arabian perfumes are.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same floral oriental signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way, and it unfolds slowly through its top, heart and base over many hours.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a rich, opulent floral with warm depth. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, and it wears as a unisex fragrance for lovers of a bold rose.

Notes

Top: Bergamot, Lemon

Heart: Jasmine, Rose, Ylang-ylang

How it Smells

The opening is bright and citrusy, with bergamot and lemon giving a fresh lift before the flowers arrive.

The heart is where it blooms, a full, opulent bouquet of jasmine, rose and ylang ylang that feels rich and velvety.

The base warms it with amber, musk and sandalwood, adding a resinous depth that keeps the florals grounded and long lasting. It stays lush and warm the whole way through.
