Drawing from Laila’s poignant poem Reflections, this fragrance transforms words into a sensory experience, with Laila designing its evocative cover art. Together, they’ve created a masterpiece that pays tribute to the enduring spirit of Palestine, honoring its rich history and unyielding strength.
Reflections is a symphony of emotions captured through exquisite notes: the opening sweetness of peach and saffron unfolds into a heart of jasmine, rose, and raspberry. These delicate layers rest on a powerful base of amber, musk, and patchouli, notes that symbolize resilience, tenacity, and hope for a brighter future.
Amna Al Habtoor shares the personal significance of this creation:
“Reflections is more than a fragrance, it’s a tribute to resilience, a celebration of unity, and a beacon of hope. Every note tells a story, honoring a land filled with beauty, history, and strength. Through this fragrance and our commitment to the ‘Gaza in Our Hearts’ campaign, we aim to turn this message of hope into real, tangible support for those in need.”
Laila Shaheen, poet and designer, adds:
“When words are not enough, we create in other forms. Reflections is our attempt to bring the spirit of Palestine to life, honoring its stories and sharing its truth with the world. This collaboration is a testament to the unbreakable strength of my people.”
In a bold commitment to making a difference, 40% of proceeds from the sale of Reflections will go directly to the ‘Gaza in Our Hearts’ campaign. This humanitarian initiative provides essential aid to Gaza’s most vulnerable communities, delivering hot meals, food baskets, and emergency shelter.
Reflections is more than a fragrance, it’s a movement, a message, and a tribute to resilience and hope. Together, Arcadia and its supporters are helping to write a new story for Gaza, one infused with compassion, strength, and the promise of brighter days ahead.
