About Perfumes

Choosing a perfume

Our perfumes are eau de parfum: alcohol-based sprays with more projection and a brighter opening than an attar. Pick by family first. Fresh citrus and aquatic scents suit hot days and the office, florals are versatile, and woody, amber and oud perfumes are richer and last longer.

Sizes and bottles

Perfumes come in 30ml to 200ml, from ₹200 for 30ml. Most are available in a choice of plastic or glass bottle; the glass bottle is the better choice for gifting or for keeping on a dresser. If you are trying a scent for the first time, 30ml is plenty to find out whether you love it.

Making it last

Spray onto moisturised pulse points and clothing, avoid rubbing, and store the bottle away from heat and sunlight. Layering a matching attar underneath is the most effective way to extend wear time in Indian heat.
