Description
The story behind this fragrance
Svaha opens with frankincense smoke and cardamom's sharp warmth, ginger and black pepper igniting a spiced heat that settles into creamed butter—almost gourmand but never sweet. The heart unfolds with caramel and fenugreek's toasted maple depth, cinnamon and turmeric threading through cedar and coriander, earthy and complex. As it settles, hyrax and ambrette bring a soft animalic musk, myrrh darkens the base, and ember-like warmth mingles with labdanum's resinous grip. Grounded, ritualistic, skin-bound.
