Champaca Perfume Concentrate
Floral, musky, spicy
Absolute joy
Champaca is not typically floral, it has an unexpected depth and spiciness. It's sweet and warm but not cloying. The flower has been valued for over 2000 years for its evocative fragrance, bringing feelings of joy, bliss and surrender.
The fragrance is distinct and diffuse - it spreads its scent and lingers after you leave the room.
- Reminiscent of tea and incense
- More complex and spicy than most florals
- Associated with spring, lust, and abundance

Ancient Wisdom
Bringing you centuries of alchemy, straight from the source
The Mahabharata
A story in the Mahabharata (9th-4th century BCE) describes the incredible power of flowers like Champaca.
In this story, King Vasu walks in a forest in springtime, lustfully thinking of Girika, his beloved wife. The scent of fragrant flowers filled the air, amongst them the ashoka flower, bakul flower and champaca flower. As the King thought of his wife, and the breeze carried the potent fragrance of the flowers to him, he attained a state of pure sensual desire, which led to the spontaneous conception of his twin children.
Thus the power of Champaca, carrying desire through the air with its scent.

FAQ
What makes your perfumes special?
If you use your perfume a few times a day, every day, it could last up to six months. If you're using them on special occasions, they can last years.
In terms of longevity, our perfumes can last for years and years. Keep them away from extreme heat to avoid damaging the scent.
Once you apply the perfume, it will last on your skin for hours. We use a base of Organic Jojoba Oil because it's odourless and also because it's similar to our skin's natural sebum. This means that when you apply it on your skin, the Jojoba Oil will hydrate it, so the perfume can sit on top rather than sink in and disappear. You may not notice your perfume after ten or so minutes due to olfactory fatigue, but people around you will still notice it.
