Yes, if you appreciate rich, layered fragrances with a luxurious feel.
Zayed 2018 is described as a complex and luxurious fragrance that opens with bright citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot, complemented by the warmth of saffron. The heart features a rich blend of Turkish rose and violet, which many users find elegant and sophisticated. In the drydown, the woody and earthy base notes of sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli provide depth, though some find the transition to the base less appealing. Enthusiasts tend to appreciate its unique character and longevity, while some casual wearers feel it may be too heavy or complex for everyday use. It is often recommended for special occasions or evening wear, particularly in cooler weather.
