Ward Arabia attar is a Flora Five original — "ward" is the Arabic word for rose, and this blend is our tribute to the prized rose fields of Taif. Peach and blackberry lend the opening a jammy shine, Taif rose unfurls at the heart alongside ylang-ylang and orchid, and white musk, amber and sandalwood settle into a velvety drydown that lasts roughly 8–10 hours on skin.

We blend Ward Arabia entirely without alcohol, so it wears as a halal fragrance from the first roll. Apply it where blood runs close to the surface — the wrists, the hollow of the throat, behind each ear — and give the rose a little while to open; body warmth is what turns the fruit-bright top into a deep floral. Steer clear of white garments, since rich oils can leave a faint tint.
Available as a roll-on in 3 ml, 6 ml and 12 ml. Free shipping across India · Cash on delivery · 7-day return.
Frequently asked questions
What does Ward Arabia attar smell like?
A rose in its Sunday best. The first minutes are fruity — ripe peach and dark blackberry — before Taif rose takes centre stage: deep, slightly spicy and honeyed, the way roses smell in Arabian perfumery rather than in a florist's fridge. Ylang-ylang adds creaminess, and the amber-sandalwood-musk base keeps the finish smooth and warm.
How long does it last?
Roughly 8–10 hours on skin. The fruity sparkle lasts about an hour; the rose heart holds court through the afternoon, and the ambery base remains as a soft, close aura into the evening. Applied to moisturised skin, it wears at the longer end of that range.
Is it alcohol-free and halal?
Yes. Ward Arabia is a pure perfume oil with no alcohol in the formula at any stage, which makes it suitable for halal-conscious wearers and for prayer times. It also means the scent develops gradually and gently rather than evaporating in a rush the way alcohol-based sprays do.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
Start with the 3 ml if rose-forward attars are new to you. The 6 ml suits anyone planning to wear it a few times a week, and the 12 ml is the one to pick for daily wearers — or as a gift, since rose attars are a classic present in Indian households.
At Flora Five, all our attars are meticulously crafted to maintain their authenticity and purity. Each blend is 100% oil-based and free from alcohol, ensuring a rich, long-lasting scent experience.
To preserve the integrity of our attars and protect them from contamination or loss of their distinctive scent profiles, we incorporate essential, non-toxic regulatory substances like antioxidants. These carefully chosen components ensure the longevity and stability of your attar without compromising safety.
While no additional ingredients in our formulations are inherently harmful, we recommend patch testing before full use to rule out any potential allergies. At Flora Five, your safety and satisfaction are as important as the elegance of our fragrances.
