Fragrances and perfumes have always been an integral part of the Indian tradition and culture. Back in the days that make up the archaic Indian scriptures and history, aromatics such as sandalwood, camphor, and saffron were not only considered divine offerings but were also associated with the prestige and luxury of a household. Perfume then was mostly used in its crude form of perfume oil, also known as “attar”. Attars can be dated back to being 60,000 years old with frequent mentions of them 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 globalised 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 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.
The Floral Hues variant 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 cedar wood, amber, and sandal, it is a surreal fragrance that is made even more enticing with the presence of vanilla and musk. As delicate as the essence of the lilies and the 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 the 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.
The Fernweh Vintage Bloom Collection thus brings to you, addictive concoctions of the traditional floral perfume oils in an attempt to reintroduce the concept of attars that is etched in the traditional history of Indian perfumery. This collection echoes the reinstating of the dying culture of India’s home-grown fragrances and fragrance oils.
