Perfume Inspiration:
This perfume is inspired by the monsoon season in India.

In India, monsoon rains make a grand appearance with thunder, lightning, and winds rushing in from the sea. I welcomed the first rain of the season with my arms outstretched, until I was drenched. This time of year, scents of heady roses, divine jasmines, and opulent tuberoses swirl through the air.

If this were a gala, the blooms would outshine the red carpet. This season is an aphrodisiac.

"Monsoon Madness has a humid floral musk vibe, like the heat rising off soaked petal."

"Ethereal scent. Sweet yet not totally gourmand. Something here is just magical."

 

What is Gulkand?

Gulkand is a traditional Indian rose preserve made by macerating rose petals in sugar. Gulkand acts as a heart note and adds a rich, "jammy" sweetness and a honeyed depth. It gives the dry-down feel floral and indulgent.

Beauty in the world

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.

Love this fragrance! I am a rose farmer by trade and can be picky with my florals. I swear I can feel the humidity and smell the rain drops on flower petals. Beautiful!

The opening is very floral but it really does smell rainy. It dries down so creamy and lovely. I'm obsessed. I can't stop smelling myself.
