Fragrances and perfumes have always been an integral part of Indian tradition and culture. In the days of archaic Indian scriptures and history, aromatics such as sandalwood, camphor, and saffron were not only considered divine offerings but also associated with the prestige and luxury of a household. Perfume was primarily used in its crude form of perfume oil, also known as "attar." Attars can be traced back to 60,000 years ago, with frequent mentions in old Indian texts and scriptures.

However, this beautiful art of attar-making and the inclination towards homegrown attar fragrances started fading away with the advent of Western perfume makers in the modern globalized market. India’s overwhelming history of rich perfumery now lies almost forgotten and overshadowed in this new modern era. The Vintage Bloom Collection by Fernweh offers a 21st-century homage to the long-established perfumery of our country. These roll-ons are a fine blend of perfume oils sourced from various parts of India, bringing to you addictive concoctions of traditional floral perfume oils. The collection reintroduces the concept of attars, etched in the traditional history of Indian perfumery, and echoes the reinstatement of the dying culture of India’s home-grown fragrances and fragrance oils.

The Floral Hues perfume oil opens with a bewildering sensuality that takes you on a walk through the rich floral offerings of India. A wise blend of beautiful floral notes, with the warm woody undertones of cedarwood, amber, and sandal, it is a surreal fragrance made even more enticing with the presence of vanilla and musk. As delicate as the essence of lilies and ylang-ylangs, Floral Hues is a blissful experience of nature.

Summer Sage, on the other hand, is an earthy experience. It feels like an escapade into the freshness of luscious citrus groves. The floral delights of jasmine and gardenia come together with the eccentric vanilla and patchouli to make the best accompaniment for your summer experience. This alluring blend is sure to swoon your heart and mind over a rejuvenating, fragrant experience.

 

Embrace the nostalgia and elegance of traditional perfumery with each roll-on, and let Fernweh take you on a sensory journey back to the roots of Indian fragrance artistry.
