Liwa
Widian (2017)

I've sampled the entire line of Windan line and four stood out, mostly because they reminded me of something else, the rest were unfortunately forgettable. Liwa is basically Oud For Greatness, with the undertone sweetness of BR540. I simply can't get along with the screechy saffron accords these fragrances have, so Liwa is unwearable to me for the most part. But this could be a good find for women looking for a hybrid of these two scents.

Whoah!! A breath taking scent full of exoticism and character!

Liwa by Widian (formerly AJ Arabia) comes across as a thoughtfully made, bold and unique fragrance brimming with a dark fruity, floral, and woody composition that is attempting to tell a compelling story. Says Luckyscent:

"The Liwa oasis is a lush valley of date palm farms and Bedouin villages in the middle of a seemingly endless sea of sand. Its improbable beauty is the inspiration behind Widian's newest fragrance, a gorgeously modern oriental that perfectly blends stylish florals with exotic spice."

Very powdery, filled with sensations of myrrh and oud wrapped in thick cedar, pungent patchouli, green vetiver, lush incense, and amazing floral accents that don't relent! Saffron is intense, flowing in a river of the inimitable crocus stamens without apology!

The bottle alone hypnotizes me: The fiery red within a finely etched bottle, enticing you to come forth and inquire of what is within. The potion is addictive, and I find so much here that I love!

Testing is believing. Try a decant, and see what you think of this alluring, lush fragrance. :-)
