The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by WIDIAN, Liwa is a unisex fragrance that marries warm spice and woody notes with an aromatic edge. The composition opens with the bright freshness of bergamot and saffron, creating a radiant top layer. As it settles, the heart notes of jasmine and white rose introduce a floral warmth, while geranium adds a subtle herbal touch. In the base, amber and incense blend seamlessly with sandalwood and agarwood (oud), evoking an atmosphere of rich complexity and depth.
Apply Liwa lightly — its aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting. The base notes develop gradually over time, so it's best to let them build naturally on your skin. This fragrance is particularly suited for cooler evenings when the warm woody and spicy accords can envelop you in their rich depth.
