This fragrance is so lovely. Warm, woody and slightly spicy, with a light sweetness from the jasmine. Slightly animalic with a surprising lightness on skin. I'm in love!
Jaya is an absolutely exquisite fragrance! The beautiful spice of the cloves. The sweet, juiciness of the peach is so perfect you can almost taste it. The softness of rose, orris and violet. It’s just absolutely dreamy and I find myself wanting to put more and more and more on just so I never risk losing the aroma. I’m absolutely buying a backup bottle so I never have to be without this fragrance in my life!
This perfume has been one of my go to’s since I got a sample of it. It perfectly captures the vibe of the smell of the ocean as you are swimming in it, the salty air and the feeling of walking on a beach
Best discovery set ever! Each scent is so unique and made with love.
Iconic Island feels like the perfect antidote to today’s blistering 97-degree heat. If I could vanish into the shade of the Pacific Northwest woods, this is what the air would smell like. From the very first spray, it captures that moment of stepping into cool green forest light, lungs filling with crisp, renewing air. The lavender in the opening carries a whisper of coastal salt, mingling beautifully with fresh cut grass, grapefruit, and fir needles. The fir note here is spot-on..like crushing fresh needles in your palm, with that lingering resinous aroma that clings to your skin. In the heart, rose and juniper add a gentle sweetness (Anjali’s use of rose is always such a treat), softening the ever-present fir with a delicate, almost dewy lift. As it dries down, the woods deepen but stay airy. Atlas cedar, oakmoss, and musk draped in a soft floral breeze. It’s calming, almost meditative, as if I’d spent the entire day forest bathing, surrounded by wild blooms and warm sunlight filtering through the branches.
Iconic Island is truly a beautiful scent… one that’s earned a spot on my full-bottle list for sure!
This fragrance is pure Oregon coast nostalgia for me. The Pacific Northwest shoreline was my mother’s and grandmother’s favorite place, and since I was little, our trips there especially in spring and summer, have been etched into my memory. Sea Glass takes me right back to those days. I can smell the light, almost sun warmed beachside florals drifting over the salty marine air, mingling with the faint tang of ocean spray. You catch the woodiness of the smooth, worn texture of driftwood, the quiet mossy undertone of the shoreline, and that indefinable freshness that only exists by the sea. Sea glass is beautifully balanced, no single note shouting over the others, just a seamless harmony, like standing on the Oregon coast on a warm day, breathing in the air and feeling that sense of release or openness one can only experience while at the ocean. This makes three out of three Anjali fragrances that have transported me somewhere else entirely, and I’m absolutely here for it. 💙🌊☀️
From the very first spray, Under the Mango Tree whisks me away to a sun-dappled garden, where the air is thick with the scent of green mango skin, tomato leaf, grapefruit, and bergamot. Each note sings on its own, yet they blend into something so refreshing and serene… like sipping an aromatic tonic on a garden terrace that has seen a thousand summers. Just when I think it can’t get more beautiful, a fresh rose begins to bloom. It’s fresh, dreamy, and somehow makes the whole experience feel like I’m being transported.. perhaps to the very place where these ancient, sacred mango trees grow. The way the rose intertwines with the still-present mango is nothing short of magical. Like they were always meant to find each other. This is, without question, the most unique and beautiful mango fragrance I’ve ever encountered. As it settles, the rose lingers and gives way to a quiet base of fir balsam, pine wood, and warm hay. It feels like the wind has picked up just as the sun begins to dip behind the trees. There’s a grounded calm in the base..rooted, steady, and so comforting. Under the Mango Tree leaves me feeling as if I’ve received a gift from the tree itself. The way it offered up its green, sun-warmed fruit to meet that radiant rose felt like an impartation..quiet and powerful. As if this tree gives without asking. And in return, it reminds me of the beauty that often goes unseen, but not unfelt. We sense it. We smell it. And somehow, it changes us.
Under the Mango Tree was a gift to my senses and beyond. My experience is transportive, transformative, soulful, and absolutely unforgettable. I’m in unexpected awe. Truly.
Monsoon Madness has a humid floral musk vibe, like the heat rising off soaked petals. It opens with jasmine and tuberose still on the stem, like they’ve just been drenched in the first rain.. lush, heady, and alive. The rose comes in like a bloom warmed by a storm that’s just passed, still holding the memory of thunder in its petals. Then the iris rolls in like a cool rain drenched veil that settles gently over everything like fresh drops on skin. It’s floral, yes, but there’s something more elemental here.. like the scent of love and mystery carried on wind and thunder. The musk is spellbinding. It doesn’t just sit on the skin it blooms. The warmer my body gets, the deeper and denser it becomes, like a slow dance with the night. There’s a moment when it shifts, and suddenly you’re wrapped in this sultry fog, sensual and magnetic. And that gulkand.. a jammy rose preserve tucked into the drydown, it’s so delicious. Softly sweet, slightly sticky, almost edible. Like tasting rose petals on your lover’s lips. A kiss in the rain. A whisper in the dark. Anjali refers to this fragrance as an aphrodisiac and I couldn’t agree more. Monsoon Madness doesn’t just swell it swoons, is swoon worthy, and I am def swooning.
Three of the most beautiful fragrances I’ve ever smelled!
I love these discovery set! I plan to purchase a bigger bottle of the Tiger Bright when I run out. That was by far my favorite one because it reminds me of incense!
The whole set was so fun to smell through, and the presentation was spectacular. The art cards for each scent were especially stunning. My favorites were Under the Mango Tree and Flame of the Forest--both very unique yet perfectly wearable. I'll be looking forward to getting travel sizes!
This was a great discovery set, it was nice to try them all before deciding on which to get a full bottle of. The scents are all different form one another so narrowing it down was difficult.
green fresh mango scent, very evocative
The perfume sample set was great!

Jaya
Top Notes: Italian Bergamot, Peach, Bulgarian Rose
Mid Notes: Peach, Cloves
Base Notes: Orris, Violets, Musk
Jaya is inspired by a painting from the Indian subcontinent created during the Mughal era c. 1710-20. It depicts a meeting of two royals in exquisite detail. Flowers bloom in the garden. On a carpeted terrace, a princess pours wine. Peaches, apples, and pomegranates are served on a platter, while the attendants bring jewels and a vial of perfume.
In Sanskrit, Jaya means “victory.” This perfume celebrates the royal couple's victorious union.

Under The Mango Tree
Top Notes: Green Mango Skin, Tomato Leaf, Grapefruit, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Wild Roses, Rose Water
Base Notes: Fir Balsam, Pine Wood, Dust & Hay
This perfume is inspired by the mango trees from my childhood in India.
In the Indian rural landscape, amidst green farmlands and villages, you will often find a mango tree standing majestically, but quietly. Its presence is unannounced, but unmistakable. Like a meditating saint, the tree is occupied not with what’s above ground, but with veins of water running deep beneath the soil.Under The Mango Tree perfume captures the fresh green aroma of raw mango skin and my love for this tree.
Inspiration: I wrote a blog post about what goes behind my inspirations and how and why this perfume was born.
Monsoon Madness
Top Notes: Tuberose abs., Jasmine grandiflorum abs.,
Mid Notes: Bulgarian Rose abs., Iris abs.,
Base Notes: Musk
Spice Accord: Saffron, Vanilla, & ‘Gulkand’
This perfume is inspired by the monsoon season in India.
In India, Monsoon rains make a grand appearance with thunder and lightning. Mad winds rush from the sea. Every year, I welcomed the rains with my arms outstretched, until I was drenched. In this season, scents of amorous blooms—heady roses, divine jasmines, and opulent, mesmeric tuberoses—swirl through the air. If this were a gala, blooms would outshine the red carpet. This season is an aphrodisiac.
