Once upon a time lived in Persia, a beautiful woman named Mandana. She lived long before the talks of the one thousand and one nights. She lived long before the time of Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. She lived even long before Roxana, the Persian wife of Alexander the Great. Mandana, was a queen. She was the queen mother of Cyrus the Great.  She lived as long as 2600 years before our times. 

Cyrus was an outstanding Monarch when he became ruler of Persia.  He extended the limits of his empire from India and China in the east, to Egypt and Greece in the west. Cyrus was a fair king who loved his subjects.  When he conquered Babylon from the Assyrians, he freed the Jews enslaved there and allowed them to return to their land and rebuild their temples to live and work in peace; as the story is told in the Torah. 

Cyrus was also a wise ruler who was loved by his subjects.  He encouraged them to live at peace with each other, toil together and be tolerant of each other's culture and traditions.  Under his rule, the Scythians, the Perse, the Medes the Assyrians, the Egyptians and all other nations, 17 in all, lived at peace and worked and progressed. That is why Cyrus was called Cyrus the Great. A scroll edicted by him told us all that. It is still kept today in Persia as a priceless relic:  the Persians believe thus, that Cyrus created the first united nations 2500 years ago.

Queen Mandana, the mother of Cyrus the Great, was also loved and cherished by her subjects.  She was above all a woman, intelligent and perceptive, aware of all refinements and sophistications, that as far back as then, has established women as the real power behind every great man.  Her subtle charm and beauty as a Queen was marked by her judicious selection of fine perfumes and cosmetics with most exquisite ingredients.  Mandana underlined the lush appeal of her lips, with a special mix of matters, the secret, which only she knew and kept as long as she lived. 

Life continued and time carried on the clouds of the eternal ever present, after many rulers and dynasties in Persia, reached the 20th century and awoke at the time of another ruling dynasty:  the Qajars.  Many peaceful and debonair Qajar kings succeeded each other in Persia. They sired many handsome Persian Princes and many of the beautiful Persian Princesses, like so many of the beautiful scented roses which grow in Shiraz. 

As history revives eternally and legends remain alive, today the winds of destiny have brought one of the beautiful little princesses of Persia to the shores of the New World.  Her name is Mandana.  Mandana also like the legendary mother of Persia has discovered a special secret mix:  a collection of lip treatment cosmetics, which is aimed at enhancing the natural beauty and the suppleness of a woman's lips.  Naturally this collection of exclusive line of products has been named, what else?:   Mandana.
