In the Indian subcontinent, several paintings from the Mughal era c.1800depict stories of heroines. Mantra is inspired by one called “Abhisarika Nayika”—a woman who goes to meet her lover in secret. A storm is gathering; there are snakes in the woman’s path; her anklet has fallen off, but she is undaunted. She is under the spell of love and braves hurdles to meet her lover in secret.
Mantra, in Sanskrit, means “a spell.”

FAQs:
I embrace both synthetic and natural materials. Blending them gives me more freedom to express my vision and achieve the right balance and harmony. Since I do not use animal-derived materials, synthetics allow me to create faithful re-constitutions to achieve the desired effect without harming animal life.
Yes, all my perfumes are vegan. I do not use animal-derived materials in my perfumes. Musk, ambergris, civet, castoreum, honey, hyraceum, and beeswax were once considered precious and indispensable in perfumery. Fortunately, with advances in science and technology, they can now be synthesized in a lab. I exclusively use these synthetically reconstituted mixtures in my perfumes to achieve the desired effect.
Like all fragrances, my perfumes contain allergens. I list the IFRA-referenced allergens in all my perfumes.
In 2022, the U.S. FDA passed a law, abbreviated as MoCRA, which mandates that all perfumes sold in the U.S. must list fragrance allergens on their product labels. I use the European standard called IFRA as my basis to calculate the allergens in my perfumes.
Please do test on paper before applying the perfume to your skin. I have listed some additional safety guidelines in the Terms of Service on this website as well.
Not yet! I’m touched and delighted when I get asked this question. However, my artisanal endeavor is still quite small, and international shipping is complex. For the time being, I plan to ship only within the United States.
