Hind Al Oud Dalaa Parfum (Tester)

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. This listing is the Tester bottle: the same fragrance as the retail bottle, in simplified, unboxed packaging.

Scent Character

• Patchouli: 30%
• Sandalwood: 25%

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.
