Vanilla notes for your workdays in Sarawak
If you're a woman in Sarawak looking for a perfume for the office, and you like a touch of vanilla in your scents, Asdaaf has two bottles worth comparing: Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose and Ameerat Al Arab. Both are 100ml Eau de Parfums for women, and both carry vanilla somewhere in their notes. But they don't feel the same through a desk-to-meeting day, so here's what sets them apart.
Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose
This is the more floral one of the pair. It opens with rose and jasmine, moves into a heart of amber and vanilla, then settles onto white musk and sandalwood. So the vanilla here sits in the middle of the perfume, wrapped inside a soft floral opening.
As for occasions, it's listed for formal settings and special occasions. Think client meetings, presentations, or office events where you want to look put together and smell the same way. The rose and jasmine keep it graceful, while the amber and vanilla add warmth underneath so it doesn't feel flat.
It's also listed for the warmer months, which lines up nicely with Sarawak's heat and humidity. If your day moves between the humid outdoors and a cold air-conditioned office, that's the kind of setting this one is made for.
Ameerat Al Arab
Ameerat Al Arab is the all-rounder. It's listed as oriental, sweet and floral, and its occasion list is the longer of the two: everyday wear, casual days, formal events and special occasions. That flexibility is exactly why it works as an office perfume — wear it Monday to Friday, then keep it on if you've got dinner plans after work.
The notes run like this: it opens with fruity notes, floral notes and soft citrus, which feels bright in the morning. The heart brings in jasmine, rose, caramel and sweet florals, and the base is where the vanilla lives, sitting alongside musk, amber and light woods. So compared to Prive Rose, the vanilla here comes through later, as part of a warmer, sweeter base.
Which one should you pick?
- Choose Ameerat Al Arab if you want one bottle that covers everything — daily office wear, casual weekends and formal events — without having to think too hard about which perfume matches the day.
- Choose Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose if your workdays lean formal, or you'd rather keep a dedicated bottle for meetings and special occasions, built around rose and jasmine with vanilla and amber in the heart.
It helps that the two share a lot: rose, jasmine, amber and vanilla appear in both. The difference is the balance. Prive Rose leads with florals and keeps its vanilla in the heart, while Ameerat Al Arab adds fruit, citrus and caramel up top and tucks its vanilla into the base. And since both come in the same 100ml EDP format, you're really just choosing between two moods from the same brand.
Whichever you go for, both are made for women and both bring vanilla into the blend — one from the heart, one from the base. Match the bottle to your calendar and you're sorted.
