The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Ashwaq by Orientica is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women that balances fresh and warm notes with a sophisticated touch of spice and wood. The composition opens with the brightness of lemon and thyme, giving way to a heart of jasmine, geranium, and saffron. The base combines rose, eucalyptus, agarwood (oud), and amber, creating an intricate blend that is both fresh and deeply aromatic.
For best results, apply Ashwaq to pulse points. The fragrance's fresh top notes are most noticeable initially, but give them a few minutes to settle into the warmer base notes. This scent works well for both day and night, though it shines particularly in cooler weather.
