The story behind the bottle.
Al Madina Al Mounawara by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi is an Oriental Woody fragrance that draws on the rich heritage of its Saudi Arabian roots. The composition opens with a warm spicy accord, leading to a heart of rose and powdery notes before settling into a base of woody, amber, musky, and animalic accords. This scent embodies the opulence and mystique associated with the city it is named after, blending traditional elements with a modern olfactory experience.
Apply this fragrance to your pulse points — it takes about an hour for the powdery and woody notes to fully integrate. The warm spicy top notes dissipate quickly, so a second application later in the day can be refreshing.
