The story behind the bottle.
Riqqa by Ard Al Zaafaran is a fragrance that embodies the rich blend of warm spices and sweet indulgence. Launched in 2023, it opens with a bold interplay between cinnamon and nutmeg, creating an initial burst of fresh spice that transitions into deeper notes of praline and dates. The heart of tuberose and lily adds a delicate floral touch, while the base of vanilla, benzoin, myrrh, and agarwood provides a grounding warmth. Ard Al Zaafaran is known for its emotional resonance and Riqqa continues this tradition by offering a comforting and luxurious experience.
Apply Riqqa in layers to fully experience its nuanced transition from fresh spice to warm sweetness. It blooms slowly on the skin, so a light first pass followed by a second application after an hour will allow each note to unfold beautifully throughout the day.
