The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Mithqal by Ard Al Zaafaran is a Floral fragrance for women and men that launched in 2021. This scent embodies the essence of Ard Al Zaafaran's commitment to creating something extraordinary, much like the rare saffron threads that inspired its name. The composition opens with a lush rose note that immediately sets the tone, followed by warm spices that add depth and complexity. A woody base anchors the fragrance, while powdery and musky accords lend it a soft, enveloping quality. Mithqal is neither overwhelming nor understated — it strikes a perfect balance between elegance and warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Mithqal to your pulse points — the wrists and neck. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, so you can start with one or two sprays depending on how intense you want it to be. It pairs well with cooler weather but also works beautifully in the evening during warmer months.
