The Conviction

We didn't make the materials.
We made the house.

Founded in New Delhi.
Composed as material, first.

The ingredients were always here

Kannauj has distilled the world's finest attars for six centuries. Assam produces the oud Arabic perfumery was built on. Kashmir saffron is among the most prized materials in any palette. No one had built a globally credible house on top of them. Until now.

The brief

Every fragrance is built on a hero material with a precise origin — and made to hold in heat, on heavy fixatives, matured before it is bottled. The science is not hidden. It is the point.

Not for everyone. By design.

Ten editions, each built on one real Indian material and nothing borrowed — made with complete conviction, and we trust you to know which is yours. India is the source of what is in the bottle. We are the name on it.

The Collection

Ten editions. One house.

Ten fragrances built on the world's most-loved profiles — each made with a rare Indian natural. Authored, named and numbered.

We did not invent these materials. We named where they come from.

The Making

Six centuries, then six weeks.

Our hero materials are still distilled the way Kannauj has worked for six hundred years — earth and botanicals steamed through copper, read by hand, without a thermometer. What we add is patience.

DistillationDeg-and-bhapka steam distillation into a sandalwood base — the original method, unchanged.
MacerationSix to eight weeks resting in steel before bottling. We would rather ship late than ship green.
