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: 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

I have never tried Arabian perfume, but I guess now is the right time to do so. I am a big fan of fruity perfumes. Although you suggested that this would be great for evening wear, I would still use it when I go out during the day. The price is also affordable and yes, that bottle is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am also a perfume lover, as seen from the elegant bottle, it must have a luxurious scent. Cinnamon scent is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI do love when an affordable fragrance smells good: curious to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYour description of the scent has totally sold me. I love a spicy floral, and that price is too good to pass up!
ReplyDeleteBergamot and cinnamon sounds like a wonderful scent combination! I'd like to try the Bint Hooran perfume.
