Rajni Gandha

This is potent and intoxicating when first applied. It will mellow into a smoldering floral aroma, like an aged flower just about to fall from the plant. This is the wabi-sabi phase. The Hindi name for tuberose is Rajnigandha which means “night-fragrant”. The Bengali name is Rajoni-Gandha, translating to “scent of the night”.

Wear this when traveling to tropical locations, or to remind you of your last vacation, or while reading Vanilla: Travels in Search of the Ice Cream Orchid by Tim Ecott or poetry by Rabindrantah Tagore. 

Ingredients: 

Essential oils of tuberose, neroli, black pepper and vanilla in a base of jojoba oil (and beeswax for solid perfumes).
