A memory of India, steeped in the rich and airy fragrance of jasmine sambac and the creamier scent of sandalwood, is what guided the composition of Madurai. A fragrance that stirs the senses with vibrant notes of citrus and turmeric, like a colourful market stall.
About the flacon: the plate of Madurai is inspired by the hypnotic motifs that can be found on the ceiling of the temple.
I've been chasing that exact scent memory of Indian markets for years, and the way the sandalwood softens the jasmine here is just stunning. It's creamy but still airy, like incense drifting through a warm evening.
The jasmine sambac hits first, bright and almost dewy, then the sandalwood softens it into something warm and creamy. I sprayed it on before bed and the air around me felt like a late-night walk through a flower market. It's the kind of scent that makes you close your eyes for a second.
I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf hours after spraying, and the way the jasmine softens into that creamy sandalwood feels like stepping into a warm evening market. It's become my daily go-to, even for quick errands, because it never feels heavy or overpowering.
