Dalaa

Description Dalaa is a 2017 release from Hind Al Oud, the Dubai-based Emirati house founded in 2001 by Mohamed Hilal. It's a spicy floral built on pepper, iris, and a patchouli-sandalwood base, no oud or agarwood in the mix, despite the house's reputation for traditional Arabian oud perfumery. A sharp burst of pepper opens the fragrance, iris settles in at the heart, and patchouli and sandalwood carry it through to a warm, grounded finish. No perfumer is publicly credited. Hind Al Oud frames it as an expression of quiet confidence, being seen without needing to announce it. Scent Character Patchouli: 30% Sandalwood: 25% Iris: 25% Pepper: 20% Translation: a spicy-floral built on pepper and iris over a woody patchouli-sandalwood base, no oud here, this one is closer to a Western spicy-woody floral. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Pepper Heart: Iris Base: Patchouli, Sandalwood Performance Longevity: Moderate. The peppery opening fades relatively quickly, but the patchouli-sandalwood base carries it through a full day or evening. Sillage: Moderate. Projection: Noticeable at first spray, settling closer to the skin as it dries down. Best Occasions & Season Best suited to spring and fall; versatile enough to move from day to evening, casual to leisure wear.
