Note from the perfumer

Shikara is “Serenity on the Lake”

"Shikara is my attempt to bottle a summer breeze." Inspired by mornings on a lake surrounded by botanical valleys, when the air is still, the water sparkles, and everything feels suspended in peace.

A quiet ride across the water: fresh, blooming, full of sunlight and a whisper of basil. Bright yet grounding. A scent to wear when you want to feel weightless.

What does “Shikara” mean?

Shikara (शिकारा) refers to the elegant wooden boats that drift across the lakes of Kashmir: symbols of calm, romance, and still beauty beneath lotus blooms and Himalayan skies.

“Smells like a breeze blowing over the water. It even came with a handwritten note addressed to me.”
Brady, verified wearer
Questions, answered
Is Shikara a typical aquatic?

No. Wearers call it very different from the typical blue designer aquatic: sophisticated, original, like floating with light pouring in. Oud and cedar keep it grounded.

What season is Shikara best for?

It is the summer scent of the house and our bestseller: bright citrus and lily over morning dew. Its woody base keeps it wearable well beyond the season.

How long does Shikara last?

Wearers report the fragrance staying on for hours, with a fresh, distinctive trail that draws compliments.
