Why cologne? To showcase the power and versatility of Hindi Oud. Such work is seldom available. Especially at this price. I understand the common concerns about longevity, projection, and sillage. Be assured, these aspects have been whole heartedly and with passion. I considered them challenges while creating the fragrance. Successfully, overcame them. The essence of Hindi is in full spectrum present & adds allure to this exquisite blend. This initiative was inspired by a genuine customer's request. Also, my longtime desire to honor role model in my life. The result is a quality product reflecting true traditional craftsmanship.

Many judge based on price and quality. I defied this logic by achieving a balance between cost-effectiveness and quality with craft. It was challenging.

This solid Hindi blend is suitable year-round, with a refreshing citrus aroma, hints of sourness and rose kissed by morning dew.

The Manipur oud hay is noticeable. Also, complimented by Assam Hindi oud leather and barn-like notes. This creation is celebrating life everyday.

This fragrance is destined to leave a lasting impression. Crafted as a beautiful cologne with Hindi Oud it stands out in the artisan category.

Ideal for all collectors of oud, leather enthusiasts, cologne collectors & those who appreciate the scent of old school, and admirers of traditional and natural aromas.

My approach is all about embracing bold, distinctive ingredients and blending them passionately without concern for convention or broad appeal. I indulge in exploring unique and diverse components to craft an olfactory experience that defies the norms. A territory few dare to explore or even consider. These ingredients, while often polarizing, share a unifying thread that makes the blend truly magical.

Imagine roasted Onycha shells elevating this coffee and tobacco infusion into a comforting experience with castoreum imparting an ethereal, unparallel allure of the blend. Envision a classic Americano cup transformed with a dollop of creamy sandalwood and a hint of vanilla, intertwined with tonka. A smoking Romeo Y Julieta at rest in an ashtray. Picture this sensory journey as you relax on a leather couch by the ocean, where the salty, damp sea air merges seamlessly with the coffee and tobacco notes, creating a blend that is truly one-of-a-kind. A perfect cup for connoisseurs. Top Notes: Onycha Shells, Tobacco Flower, Coffee

Heart Notes: Tuberose, Jasmine, Nutmeg, Coffee Absolute

Dry Down: Tobacco Absolute, Patchouli, Vanilla, Castoreum, Tonka, Mysore Sandalwood, Musk, Hindi Oud, Civet

It is an animalic note that clouds up with a bold, raw appeal in air. Upon skin, it opens to a mix of green, citrusy Taif rose blended with orange sweetness and the soft, powdery note of lavender, underlined by the indolic backtone of frangipani, while the jasmine blossom amplifies a rich musk, layered with bittersweet sandalwood and spices. Added to this is Hojari, which gives a magic touch to the green citrus, myrrh, and benzoin-earthly calm texture. Notably, the real pineapple sweetness unexpectedly but interestingly sits atop with the musk. This is the only fragrance in this category that offers such a broad palette of ingredients. The thing I like most about it is the dry down-the revelation of this sultry, magnetic, stunningly powdery layer of tonkin musk with solid woody accent which has formed over oud. For the musk lover who wishes the sophistication of its powdery aspect than Tropical Musk is the scent.
