Bareq Mirage

A crisp bergamot opening that turns soft and powdery with iris and clary sage, over a warm tonka-and-cedarwood base. The cooler-weather, office-friendly counterpart to Bareq.

Bergamot opens it, sharp and clean, then everything turns soft and powdery, which isn't the citrus blast the name might lead you to expect. Orris and clary sage carry the middle, and the base settles into warm tonka bean over dry cedarwood. Ard Al Zaafaran describes it as fresh yet warm, and that tracks: it's understated enough for the office and works better in cooler months than Bareq does. Like Bareq, this is a 2025 release, so treat the review consensus as early rather than settled. Six to eight hours on skin, moderate projection.
