The
Ingredients

Formed when Aquilaria trees respond to fungal infection by producing a dense, resinous heartwood. Wild-harvested agarwood from Assam is among the most expensive natural materials on earth - a dark, smoky, complex material that forms the backbone of our Oud line.

Harvested before dawn to preserve volatile aromatic compounds that dissipate in heat. The roses of Pushkar and Kannauj are steam-distilled within hours of picking. Rose absolute from India possesses a depth and warmth absent in Bulgarian or Turkish varieties.

The white sandalwood of Mysore is the world benchmark for quality. Creamy, milky, and warm - it does not merely carry other materials; it elevates them. We use aged sandalwood oil as the base for all our traditional attars, sourced from Government-certified estates.

Steam-distilled from unripe green berries at Wayanad estates. Dry, bright, and incisive - it adds a signature lift and sharpness to compositions. Present in several of our Fresh and Spice family fragrances as a top-note energiser.

Three stigmas per flower, harvested by hand at sunrise during a two-week annual window. Kashmir saffron is the world's most labour-intensive agricultural product. In perfumery it contributes a warm, leathery, slightly smoky character essential to our oriental compositions.

Roots aged for at least two years before distillation. Khas from the Nilgiris carries a distinctly earthy, smoky, woody character - quite different from Haitian or Sri Lankan varieties. An essential base note in our woody and aquatic families, providing longevity and depth.

The most labour-intensive white floral - it cannot be steam-distilled and requires solvent extraction to produce the concrete. Kannauj tuberose is intoxicating, rich, and slightly narcotic. It forms the heart of several of our floral compositions.

True amber is a fossil resin - warm, sweet, slightly vanillic, and deeply comforting. We use a traditional labdanum-benzoin-vanilla accord that recreates the character of Baltic amber with Indian botanical materials, forming the base of our Amber family.

Two jasmine species feature in our compositions: Sambac (mogra) from South India, and Grandiflorum from both India and Grasse. Sambac is heady and fruity; Grandiflorum is delicate and honeyed. Together they span the full spectrum of jasmine expression in our floral and oud blends.
