The story behind the bottle.
Lailat Al Shaikh by Ard Al Zaafaran is an invitation to experience the extraordinary, much like the rare and revered saffron threads that inspired the brand's name. This unisex fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord of bergamot, pink pepper, grapefruit, and lime — a burst of freshness that contrasts beautifully with its warm, spicy heart notes of rose, cardamom, jasmine, and cumin. The base notes, featuring sandalwood, resins, musk, cedar, and patchouli, ground the composition in a rich blend of earthy warmth.
For best results, apply Lailat Al Shaikh to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The fresh top notes dissipate quickly, but the woody base notes linger, making this fragrance particularly suited for daytime wear.
