A sultry morning walk across the sun-drenched spice bazaars of Old Mylapore. The scents of sweet shops and temple offerings combine with the Madurai malli (jasmine) in women’s hair to create a luscious voluptuousness. The aromas of South Indian bazaar cafés fuse with the scent of burning wood and cigarette smoke that rubs off under the balmy sunshine.

Perfumer: Laurent Marrone

The rich decadent sweetness of vanilla and caramel combines with the overtures of coffee and chestnut to create a delicious gourmand heart to the fragrance. The smoky base of burning sandalwood, musk and amber create an alluring heat that brings back memories of a hot sunny morning in Mylapore, Chennai.
