Ladylike soft white floral, perfect for summers. This fragrance is such a beauty on hot summer days when you want a white floral, but want to skip the heady part of things. This fragrance is for you. Jasmine, tuberose and something green. I also suspect some lily of the valley. This is a very non typical Arabian fragrance, no woody notes or oud or roses. As such a western DNA. It has a touch of effervescence that you typically expect from an alcohol based perfume. All in all, buy this if you want to try white florals that are summer and office friendly.
@antfarm – I agree with your review one hundred percent. Particularly about a voluptuous woman with a flower basket. Couldn’t have said it better.
@drugstoreclassics-
It is indeed a classic feminine floral. So sophisticated. Not for you, if you are in high school or college.
PS- I tried this fragrance after reading the reviews here as well as discussions on the budget Arabians threads. So thanks to fragrantica to get me to trying this.

I am in love with this perfume. I purchased it a couple of years ago for less than 15.00, and am so glad that I did! It is a well balanced sweet floral. It has great lasting ability. It is very feminine. Nothing unisex about this perfume! It is simply gorgeous!
If you like spring time like sweet florals, you will love this perfume. I highly recommend.
The word is out on the quality for price factor, on these Middle Eastern perfumes.
I have noticed they have over doubled in price since I started purchasing them about 3 years ago. Still, given how long most last, they are
a good bargain!

Spring in a bottle! Beautiful, fresh, green, sweet, airy floral. Replete with jasmine, cut greens, hyacinth, and sunshine. Very feminine, in a classic-floral sort of way.
Should be noted: not terribly dissimilar from either Al Rehab Nadine or Cabotine – the latter of which I suspect both Nadine and Warda were formulated to resemble.
My personal choice? It depends on your criteria, as ALL three are of good quality. Those of us in the west will find Cabotine easier to find and perhaps more affordable; sillage and longevity are unusually good for a western perfume. Even if you are on a VERY tight budget, you can still join the floral party! I heartily recommend Nadine as an five-dollar attar of real beauty. Frankly, whichever of the three you choose to purchase, you’ll be getting a lovely floral powerhouse!
To sum up: Warda and her sisters are perfect for Easter, rainy days, weddings, and hot summer afternoons. Or times at the office when you wish you WERE celebrating, hehe. Applied liberally or lightly, the scent of spring flowers will linger with you for hours and hours…. Truly winsome. <3

God-awful Gardenia? SO STRONG, white floral. Gave it away.

One of the most beautiful florals I have ever tried–and I am not usually a fan of flowery. This smells so elegant, full, and realistic. I feel as if I am laying inside of a gorgeous blossom as it opens in slow motion. I get mainly tuberose and hyacinth with a teensy bit of sandalwood, but not enough to classify it as a woody fragrance. This is floral with a capital F.
Warda was a blind buy, so I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it–I literally applied a single drop on my wrist and I can smell it wafting in the air, leaving a feminine, sensual trail from an arm’s length away.
Warda reminds me of a woman with a voluptuous body wearing a flouncy but form-fitting white dress walking through a summertime market with a large smile and a basket of fresh flowers on her arm.
Opulent, rich, and inexpensive. If you love flowers, this is for you. Heck, I don’t even like florals, and this is for me.

Thank you! Now I’m sure I want it! 😀

This is AMAZING. I found a bottle on ebay for cheap and blind bought based on your reviews- THANK YOU!
When I opened the bottle I almost wimped out. This huge cloud of scent rolled out- it was so intense. But two drops to the wrist, and the bottle closed up tight results in this soft, beautifully warm floral/sandalwood cloud. I am just going to float around on this for awhile.
This is heaven.

Warm, spicy. This is a really lovely scent. The bottle is much more shiny in real life and not as pretty as in the above photo (where it looks more matte).

This is a floral heavy perfume. The first time I wore this was in the summer. The idiot that I am, I didn’t use a a mere drop. I took the perfume wand and applied it in strokes on my arms and a dab on my neck. Well that was a big mistake. I felt the room fill with the overwhelming scent of flowers. It was everywhere and quite dizzying to experience. The strongest floral scent that I picked up was carnation. It was a carnation overload with jasmine coming up from behind. Okay, so now I was sick to death of the floral bomb that went off in my house. I did everything I could to wash the smell off. It didn’t take. It stuck to me like white on rice. After that experience I was so turned off that I wasn’t sure what to do with my new perfume treat. Now here we are 4 or 5 months later and I decided to give it a go again. This time I decided to use ever so tiny a drop from the wand. I carefully applied it on my wrist only. I figured if it didn’t work out that I could wash that area and most of it would be removed. Okay, after doing it this way, I still would say this is a strong floral. However, I can now wear it. It is not a dessert scent. It is not chypre. It is a floral scent that settles into a wood base scent. I like it but am still very cautious about how much apply. It is a beautiful spring bouquet when applied correctly.

Princess of Scent was right, this is a very very classy scent. it opens with intense green jasmine and hyacinth, very loud. but as it dries down and devolps it transforms into a slightly spicy elegant composion! An excellent fragrance. I found it to be a non soapy floral, thank goodness! but has some similarities to White Shoulders. Good lasting power too.

Somebody tried this frag? I’m really curious about it! 🙂
