What does “Shikara” mean?
Shikara (शिकारा) refers to the elegant wooden boats that drift across the lakes of Kashmir.
They are symbols of calm, romance, and still beauty floating gently beneath lotus blooms and Himalayan skies.
Scent Profile: Fresh · Aquatic · Balsamic · Woody
Note from the Perfumer: Shikara is 'Serenity on the Lake'
"Shikara is my attempt to bottle a summer breeze." It’s inspired by mornings on a Lake surrounded by botanical valleys when the air is still, the water sparkles, and everything feels suspended in peace. I wanted this scent to feel like a quiet ride across the water: fresh, blooming, and full of sunlight and whisper of basil. Shikara is bright yet grounding.
A scent to wear when you want to feel weightless. Shikara invites you in the calm, and keeps you there.

Let customers speak for us
This is not my normal scent profile but Shikara is such a gorgeous scent, I can’t help but love it. A lovely spring fragrance. Shipping was fast and I’m excited to try different scents by Mitti!
Wonderful aquatic. This is very different from your typical blue designer aquatic and im expecting a lot of compliments with this one
Came across this at a shop, searching for two weeks for my summer scent — this was a no brainer !! It is sophisticated, absolutely original, feels like floating, aquatic, and like light pouring in. I will be wearing this constantly :)
I had such an amazing experience with Mitti- I first met them at FUMED where I was welcomed and made to feel so special! The online store is much the same… beautiful cards and stunning illustrations, bright colors- joyful! Can’t wait to add a few more to my collection
This perfume is described as traditional and it lives up to it- the rose is blended so perfectly with incense and sandalwood… it wraps around you and comforts. It reminds me very much of Indian Rose Incense I burned in the 90’s- it takes me back there- stunning!
A sincere, heartfelt layered journey. Fresh, innocent and aromatic gives way to the face of a love interest again and again. Hopeful future encounters of floral and dreams an embrace remain in a subtle musky sweet drydown.
This perfume really smells like legacy. I love this perfume and the best part about this: It is unisex. It smells amazing on me as well as my husband.
At the point where I don't want to go a day without adding this fragrance to my being!
Great notes that were very nostalgic and rooted in traditional Indian scents. Also as someone who is sensitive to very strong fragrances, I was pleasantly surprised that the perfumes didn’t trigger my sensitivity. Would definitely recommend trying out the discovery set and will be back to purchase a full-sized bottle once I run out of my current stock.
