History and origin of JD Collection
JD Collection comes from India. Indian sales pages list A. A. Attarwala & Co. in Mumbai as the marketer of the brand and ACO Perfumes & Cosmetics in Surat as the manufacturer. Both belong to the Attarwala group. According to a company profile in Gulf News, the family started selling attar and perfume in Mumbai in 1925. Later it added its own factories in Surat, including Freedom Fragrances (2008) and ACO Perfumes & Cosmetics (2021).
The group does not disclose when JD Collection started. There is also little about the brand in the major perfume databases. Notably, a Spanish online shop sells the Kiara fragrances under the brand name Manasik, with product photos bearing the same barcode. Both brands come from the same group, so it is presumably the same product under a different brand name.
Parent company and sister brands
The Attarwala group carries several perfume brands. Its manufacturing company Freedom Fragrances lists JD on its website alongside Al Fakhr, BN, Manasik and RiiFFS. According to the group itself, Nusuk and Fariis also belong to it. JD Collection is one of the smaller, affordable brands in the group.
At Arabmusk you will find these brands under Freedom Fragrance, including RiiFFS, Nusuk, Fariis, Al Fakhr and Manasik. Also read our articles about RiiFFS, Nusuk, Fariis, Al Fakhr and Manasik.
