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
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.
Beautiful unique discovery set! Looking forward to getting to know these fragrances more and layering with others scents! Excellent quality & craftsmanship!
Rani Pink is absolutely beautiful! It’s a high-quality perfume that has amazing longevity & silage. The scent is a strong bright mix of sour berries and bubblegum. As the perfume settles it becomes something more sophisticated. The initial sweetness stays, but it blends with spicy clove and warm wood, making it feel much more "grown-up." It isn't a scent that fades away quickly; it sticks to your skin and clothes for hours, lasting on me from morning until night. If you’re looking for a bold unique fragrance that starts out cheerful but ends with a strong, classy finish, this is a great choice! And the packaging & attention to detail with the bottle are exceptional! I highly recommend it!☺️
Amongst all of the wonderful offerings in this line, I chose Shikara. It is a lovely, ethereal fragrance that pulls me into the present. It reminds me of a stillness, a place where I feel not just present but also fully aware of all of my senses. It is lovely as a daily fragrance, something to be worn at the gym or even at bedtime. I have other bottles from them on my radar.
I loved my sample set from Mitti Parfum, I enjoyed all of the scents but my favorite was Rani Pink. You won’t regret purchasing this set!
Ansolutely beautiful presentation with a lovely handwritten note included. Each scent is an olfactory day dream! Shikara is my favorite at the moment, but most likely due to the weather warming up. I can’t wait to purchase a bottle of each scent! 🥰
This is the perfect spring scent. It is fresh, clean and aquatic with a beautiful dry down. Although the notes are familiar it is extremely unique and my husband and I have both been wearing it and getting compliments.
