Launched in 2020 by the artisanal house of Anka Kus Parfum, this fragrance is a cinematic olfactory journey through a rain-slicked metropolis at twilight.

Why "A Moment In Manhattan" is a Modern Classic

This fragrance is celebrated for its ability to balance "cold" urban notes with "warm" oriental foundations.

• The Blueberry & Sea Note Spark: A unique, juicy-marine opening that provides a "cool blue" aura, setting it apart from typical warm orientals.

• Complex Saffron Heart: The inclusion of Saffron and Ambergris gives it a metallic, airy luxury that feels like the architecture of a Manhattan skyscraper.

• Animalic Warmth: The base features Castoreum and Benzoin, providing a rugged, leather-like finish that ensures the fragrance lasts through a long Dubai day and into the night.
