Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for most settings without being overpowering. The unique, sophisticated blend makes it versatile enough for both casual wear and more intimate occasions, though it's a bit too relaxed for highly formal events or active sports.

About

Ashoka opens with a fresh, verdant fig leaf and the soft, watery essence of lotus, creating a surprisingly milky and almost coconut-like accord. This gives way to a heart of delicate mimosa and osmanthus, lending a subtle, fruity floral sweetness. As it settles, a refined leather note emerges, grounded by creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of meditative incense and myrrh, maintaining a serene, balanced aura throughout.
