Pilgrims travel to Pushkar, in Rajastan, to purify their soul and release it from the cycle of reincarnations. This legendary site on the edge of the desert is a haven of peace conducive to meditation. The petals of the roses growing around the sacred lake are used to venerate the god Brahma.
I remember a blazing sun, which I have transcribed with the warmth of spices. Saffron, cinnamon, and nutmeg burn in a vanilla, amber fire. I have translated the multiple colours of the saris by a saturated essence of rose sensually blended with Oud wood. A languorous ode to desire.
The intense oriental scent, rose petals and spices surrounds a rainbow of saris hanging beneath a dazzling sun. The power of the dreamlike, heady fragrances of India. All the richness of spices, saffron, nutmeg, cinnamon and all the generosity of precious woods, vetiver, patchouli and Oud set a luxuriant armful of flamboyant roses alight. Shrouded in voluptuousness, the senses are aroused in this amber vanilla.

The brand identity
Femininity, spirit of discovery, timeless luxury, depth, uniqueness.
‘As a perfumer, I have always seen my work as a way to speak to the subconscious of others. I awaken their curiosity and invite them on a journey. They gain insight into my memories and can make their own discoveries. My creations are real destinations, places where anyone can travel to. I don't set rules, I just make suggestions.’ – Sonia Constant
