Bint Hooran Ard Al Zaafaran Review
I am a big fan of Arabic Perfumes and Bint Hooran by Ard Al Zaafaran caught my eye! Its bottle is eye-catching with its adorable bow! Its description online describes it as an oriental fragrance with a balance of spice and fruity notes. I had my eye on it for a while until I finally grabbed it for a bargain price, you guys know I love a bargain!
I have looked at many reviews online about this perfume and wow it got so much praise for being an affordable dupe for Good Girl.
Pros
- Affordable. You can get a 100ml bottle for under £20
- a floral, fruity scent with a hint of spice
- Elegant bottle, and extra points for the bow!
Cons
- Not long-lasting
Fragrance Notes
Top notes: Coriander, Cypress, Mandarin, Tarragon, Yuzu, Lemon, Sage, Bergamot, Lemon and Calamus
Middle Notes: Â Nutmeg, Mignonette, Ceylon Cinnamon, Bourbon Bark, Saffron, Lily of the Valley and Blue Lotus
Base Notes: Tahiti Vetiver, Musk, Sandalwood, Cedar, Amber and Tobacco.
Performance
WOW! When I first sprayed this, I was shocked at how delicious it smelled! You are immediately hit by the fruity and spicy notes, especially the bergamot, cinnamon, and amber notes. It’s been described as a dupe for ‘Good Girl,’ and I don’t have that in my collection yet, but I have sampled it in perfume shops before, and I think it’s very much like that.
I don’t normally go for these kinds of notes in perfumes but this shocked me and has opened my eyes to try out different perfumes. I like this one.
It doesn’t last all day unfortunately but for the price I paid, I am ok with this. Layering this perfume makes it last much longer.
When to Wear Bint Hooran
With these spicy and floral notes, I would tend to say this is more of an evening perfume. But if these notes are ones you love then they can be worn anytime.
How Much is Bint Hooran?
I have seen various prices for this, I got mine for a bargain price of just £10. I have seen them online from £12-£24.99.
Layering Options
Since this has vanilla, fruity and spicy notes, any perfume with these notes would work well with this perfume.
- Bint Hooran and Sol de Janeiro 62
- Bint Hooran and Choco Musk
Final Thoughts
I am in love! A perfume that has opened my eyes to try out more perfumes! An amazing dupe and an amazing perfume in its own right. It is very sophisticated and smells expensive.
For the price I paid, I am shocked at how good it is!
Since the bottle is so huge I don’t know if I will repurchase it because I am sure it will last me for ages haha!
Thanks so much for reading my review of Bint Hooran. If you love perfume check out my other perfume reviews here.
Until next time

Nice! I have to give this one a try. I’ve really been enjoying your perfume reviews lately. I’m a scent gal, so I love finding new ones to try!
im only sad that it’s not long-lasting. I’ve had perfumes that have lasted more than 10 years! But I have to at least try this.
Great review! I love discovering hidden gems like this, and now I’m curious to try it out, especially with those fruity and spicy notes!
The way you described the blend of fruity and spicy notes, (especially bergamot, cinnamon, and amber), sound gorgoues!! Love finding gorgeous scents at great pricing. Even though it doesn’t last all day, it sounds perfect!
This looks so interesting! I don’t know if I have ever tried an Arabic perfume. I love the packaging, and your description also sounds like it is a lovely scent.
Sounds like an amazing scent! I love cinnamon and amber and this has piqued my interest. And yes, it looks like it such a big bottle. Definitely going to last awhile!

I love Arabic perfume too, and I`ll definitely try to find Bint Hooran. Thank you for the suggestion.
I don’t see nutmeg much in a fragrance. Mixed with lemon? Yes, please. I’d love to try this perfume.
thanks for this review.. my daughter does love perfumes and always love a good dupe too..so will check this one out
Great to hear it lasts all day and not too strong. Finding a perfume that lasts all day without being overpowering is a win. I would love to try it myself.
A good fragrance can leave a lasting impression. When a scent feels luxurious and well-balanced, it’s always worth adding to the collection. ♥
Your review about this Arabic perfume impresses me. This is surely a wonderful deal at such price.
It is a shame that it isn’t long lasting, as the scent sounds fab! Thank you for sharing your review.
I would love to try it. I love that it is natural with fruity scents…I will get it. Thanks a lot for the recos.
Oh wow!!! Spicy and fruity scent eh. I might like it. Yeah, Arab perfumes are the best. And that bottle looks so pretty. Thank you for sharing your review of it with me.
I have never tried an Arabic perfume before. That sounds like something that I would quite like. The bottle the fragrance comes in looks so pretty. I really like the sound of spicy and floral notes too!!!
This is such a pretty perfume bottle and I love that it has a hint of spice too it. I love spicy scents!
Bint Hooran by Ard Al Zaafaran sounds like a pretty good Arabic perfume to try. Thanks for the recommendation!
I like spicy and floral scents. Would be keen to get this one and try it out for myself.
I always loved the smell of Arabic perfumes as the scent is often very exotic. Look forward to trying out Bint Hooran next
