About Mangla
Mangla is a Chinese fragrance brand rooted in Tibetan incense culture, making perfumes alongside incense, essential oils and body care. Its name is a transliteration of a Tibetan word meaning path to healing.
History
The founder grew up on the Tibetan plateau in Golok, Qinghai, spending childhood on open grassland among cattle and sheep. Years of city life sharpened a wish to return to nature, and that wish became the starting point for the brand. At Design Shanghai in March 2026, the founder described taking traditional elements apart and rebuilding them as modern products rather than copying them directly.
Philosophy & Signature Style
Mangla pairs Tibetan incense-making traditions with French perfumery techniques and presents scent as a quiet daily ritual. Its sourcing policy leaves wild trees untouched, choosing cultivated sandalwood, agarwood and Tibetan cypress instead. The range also includes red copper incense vessels hand-carved by plateau artisans.
Iconic Fragrances
The perfumes come as five 30 mL eaux de parfum, each linked to a creature or flower of the plateau. Kiss of Healing is a floral and woody scent inspired by saffron-flower meadows, while The Limitless Realm is a balsamic agarwood composition tied to the white yak.
