The composition of Shaunth is designed to envelop the wearer in notes reminiscent of a perfectly brewed ceremonial drink – one infused with precious local spices and milk. The aroma mirrors the velvety medley of cardamom, saffron, cloves and rose that permeates village houses when partaking in meaningful rituals. Shaunth aims to truly capture the spirit of these traditions in fragrance form.

Shaunth opens with an enticing chorus of ginger, cinnamon and clove, reflecting the customary spices used to prepare the traditional beverage. This top note medley creates a wonderfully warming first impression, setting the tone for comfort and connection. The ginger adds a layer of vibrancy and energy, while the cinnamon contributes a sweet yet spicy nuance. The clove ties the accord together with its rich, slightly smoky character.

As Shaunth slowly unfurls, it reveals delicate floral and milk notes at its core, representing generations of heritage. Precious saffron from local harvests brings its distinctive earthy aroma, said to prompt feelings of joy and serenity. This combines seamlessly with the elegant velvetiness of rose, a flower that has been grown for centuries in the region. Hints of creamy milk help mellow and round out the medley, adding a touch of indulgence.

The fragrance comes full circle with base notes designed to reflect tranquil moments shared over this meaningful beverage. Soothing sandalwood drawn from local forests provides a lasting impression of comfort and community. Vetiver’s grassy, root-like undertones symbolize connection to ancient traditions rooted in the land. Together these base notes allow the wearer to carry the spirit of this ritual with them throughout the day. A reminder that simple pleasures shared are meant to be savored.
