Fragrance Notes
Top Notes (The Secret Rendezvous):
-
Wet Earth & River Clay (Mitti Attar Accord): The most striking note. The raw, primal scent of water-soaked riverbank clay, cold and earthy.
-
Night-Blooming Jasmine (Jasmine Sambac): A heady, indolic, and narcotic floral that bursts forth in the darkness, symbolizing forbidden passion and sensuality.
-
Black Pepper: A sharp, electric crackle of danger and stolen moments.
Heart Notes (The Intoxication of Love):
-
Tuberose Absolute: The voluptuous, creamy, and almost funereal white floral that represents the intoxicating and all-consuming nature of Sohni's love. It is beautiful, dramatic, and fatal.
-
Red Champaca: A lush, spicy, and wine-like floral that adds a deep, golden, and meditative richness, symbolizing the depth of her devotion.
-
Saffron: A thread of precious, dry, and leathery spice—the last vestige of the worldly life she is leaving behind.
Base Notes (The River's Embrace):
-
Oud (Assam): A dark, animalic, and leathery oud that represents Mahiwal—the outsider, the earthly lover, the raw, human passion waiting on the other side.
-
Amber (Black Accord): A deep, resinous blend of labdanum, benzoin, and a touch of tar. It is the warm, final embrace, the eternal pull of the underworld.
-
Vanilla (Bourbon, Smoked): A smoky, boozy vanilla that provides a ghost of sweetness, like the memory of a happier time.
-
Ocean & River Musk (A Salty-Mineral Accord): A cold, dark aquatic musk that mimics the chilling, final sensation of the river's current.
The Vibe & Character
-
Tragically Romantic: This is not a light, happy love story. It is a fragrance of epic, desperate, and doomed passion. It is dramatic, poetic, and heartbreakingly beautiful.
-
Darkly Aquatic & Earthy: It subverts the typical "fresh aquatic" genre. This is the scent of a deep, dark river and its muddy banks—primal, dangerous, and elemental.
-
Intoxicating & Sensual: The bold white florals (tuberose, jasmine) are unabashedly sensual and hypnotic, representing a love that is worth any risk.
-
Genderless & Epic: While telling a woman's story, its dark, floral, and earthy character is powerfully universal. It is for anyone who has ever loved to the point of self-destruction.
When & Where to Wear It
-
Perfect for: Evenings of intense emotion, romantic encounters laden with history and passion, or as a personal scent when you want to feel connected to a story of profound, artistic tragedy.
-
Signature Scent for: The romantic fatalist, the poet, the artist. Someone who feels emotions on a grand, operatic scale and is drawn to the beauty in darkness and tragedy.
-
Sillage & Longevity: Heavy, narcotic sillage that tells a story without words. Legendary longevity, as the oud, amber, and clay notes cling to the skin for a full day, a permanent memory of the night.
The Story It Tells
-
The Scene: The banks of the Chenab River on a moonless night. A beautiful woman, her clothes soaked, clutches a porous clay pot, the earthy scent of it filling the air. The intoxicating perfume of night flowers mingles with the cold, dark water as she swims toward a flickering fire on the opposite shore—a final, desperate journey towards a love that is both her salvation and her doom.
-
The Persona: She is the embodiment of tragic beauty. Her love is her entire identity, a force of nature that defies society and reason. To wear Sohni is to understand that the greatest love stories are not about happy endings, but about the transformative, all-consuming power of love itself

-
2: Some loves are written in the stars. Others are etched into the riverbed. Sohni is an olfactory tribute to a love that defied society and reason.

The Fragrance:
Sohni is a dark, intoxicating, and tragically romantic floral fragrance. It opens with the stark, primal scent of wet river clay (Mitti Attar), the heady burst of night-blooming jasmine, and a sharp crackle of black pepper. The heart unfolds into a voluptuous, dramatic bouquet of creamy tuberose, spicy red champaca, and precious saffron. This passionate floral heart is anchored by a base of dark, animalic oud, a black amber accord, smoked vanilla, and a cold, mineralic river musk.

-

The Vibe:
Tragically Romantic, Dramatic, Primal. Sohni is for nights of intense emotion, for those who love with their entire being, and for anyone drawn to the beautiful darkness of a timeless love story.
Sohni is a fragrance of breathtaking audacity and emotional depth. It is a challenging, provocative, and utterly compelling work of perfumery. The opening is a shocking and brilliant realism—the 'Mitti Attar' note is unmistakably, authentically the scent of wet earth and clay, setting a stark, dramatic stage. The transition into the heart is where the tragedy unfolds: the tuberose and jasmine are indolic and narcotic, representing a beauty that is both voluptuous and fatal. The use of a dark, leathery oud in the base represents the distant lover and the peril of the journey, while the black amber and smoked vanilla provide a ghostly, sweet warmth, like the memory of a promise. This is a potent, long-lasting fragrance with immense sillage, designed not to be liked, but to be felt and remembered. A masterpiece of narrative perfumery."
