Carved Oud

(50 ml Extrait de Parfum)

Solah Shringar is a 16-part ritual to prepare royal women for public appearances. Members of the Indian royal family were considered beings somewhere between human and deity, and this ritual adornment with perfume and precious stones produced a kind of superhuman presence. The name itself comes from temple designs and decorations and the idea of the adorned woman as a perfect goddess carved in stone ("carved").

The fragrance:
Unique oudh from southern India, with its edges and sweet eccentricity, sets the tone of this heavenly fragrance. The top note lingers until the moment of drydown, then fades into cedarwood and guaiac, only to reappear like mythical song. As base notes, pure and beautiful patchouli provides depth and warmth, supported by calm, temperate musk. Divine.
