The story behind the bottle.
Manaal by Ard Al Zaafaran, launched in 2025, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the warmth of vanilla and cacao with the nutty richness of almond and pistachio. The composition begins with a bright, uplifting blend of lavender and bergamot before transitioning into a heart of white flowers and almonds. The base notes of sandalwood and vanilla create a warm, powdery finish that is both comforting and sophisticated.
Two sprays to each wrist is sufficient; the warm base notes will develop over time. This fragrance pairs well with cooler temperatures but can also be enjoyed year-round as it maintains a balance between richness and subtlety.
