Qasida Al Badr

What to expect

Qasida Al Badr by FAAN is a 2024 unisex oriental eau de parfum.

Full moon mood: warm spice into soft iris, then sweet-woody night trail.

Wear notes

• Opening hits warm and bright: cardamom, bergamot, and nutmeg — spicy with a citrus edge; wait a minute before judging.
• The middle hour brings iris, cedarwood, and sage — powdery floral calm with dry wood and herbal lift.
• Dry-down is tonka, patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver — sweet-woody warmth that stays on fabric.
• Built for cooler evenings; projection settles after the open — two sprays are usually enough indoors.
• Best for autumn/winter nights and dressed evenings — dense for hot midday.

Who it is for

• Evening wearers who want spicy warmth into powdery iris
• Unisex wearers who prefer winter oriental sweetness over clean fresh signatures
• Fans of the Qasida line looking for a heavier Al Badr chapter

Who should skip it

• If you dislike sweet tonka-vanilla dry-downs or dense winter orientals

Why it sits in the Razanosa edit

• A clear moonlit silhouette
• Source-honest notes
• A black-and-gold bottle that reads night without shouting

30-second smell test

• First spray — cardamom-nutmeg spice with bergamot; wait a few minutes
• After 30 minutes — powdery iris over cedar and sage
