Baniyas – Extrait de Parfum

Widian – niche perfumery from Abu Dhabi, with bottles shaped by Arabian architecture.

Baniyas is aromatic, fresh and woody. Bergamot, lavender and artemisia open herbal and clear, geranium and cedarwood meet a hint of oud at the heart, before patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver and mossy evernyl settle into a dry, elegant base.

Baniyas can be worn all year round, ideally by day – a unisex scent for the office, for meetings and as a polished, understated signature scent.

What makes Baniyas special to us: how naturally it bridges East and West. Lavender and geranium come from classic men's perfumery, the oud beneath turns them into something of its own – freshly pressed, but with warmth.
