Bombay Perfumery

Bombay Perfumery is an independent Indian niche fragrance house based in Mumbai. Its perfumes turn familiar places, ingredients and everyday scenes into contemporary compositions, pairing local references with a clean visual style.

Founded by Manan Gandhi in 2016, the brand grew from a family background in India's fragrance trade and his earlier work supplying ingredients to perfumery businesses in France. Gandhi set out to give Indian ingredients a modern perspective. The first eight scents established a focused perfume range, and the business has since added candles and creative collaborations alongside its fine fragrances.

The scent range moves between bright citrus and spice, florals and woods, and warmer gourmand accents. Calicut draws on a spice-market scene, Chai Musk on tea, and Madurai Talkies on the atmosphere of a cinema. The perfumes use ingredients sourced in India and overseas, with compositions developed through collaborations with international perfumers. The house favours an authored collection over a broad designer catalogue.

This is niche perfumery for wearers who want Indian cultural references handled with a contemporary hand. Its focused collection and direct online shop suit people who enjoy story-led scents, while selected stockists offer ways to discover the perfumes in person.
