The Alchemy of Slow Perfumery
In an era of mass chemical formulations, we preserve the meditative craft of patient maceration, wild resin harvesting, and small-batch distillation.
Bridging Kannauj Copper and Levantine Incense.
Ethereal was born from a desire to return perfume to its sacred origins—as an intimate companion of warmth, memory, and presence rather than a loud olfactory statement.
For centuries, the ancient trade winds carried Kannauj's delicate attars westward to the perfumed courts of Isfahan and Damascus, while rich Arabian myrrh, frankincense, and Cambodian agarwood traveled back across the Indian Ocean.
We continue this cross-pollination. Working from our studio in New Delhi, our formulations weave Indian floral patience with the brooding, resinous depth of the Middle East.
Six Months in Shaded Glass demijohns.
Great perfumery is fundamentally an exercise in patience. Raw botanical oils contain hundreds of volatile aromatic compounds that clash when first assembled.
We age our blends for a minimum of twenty-four weeks in climate-regulated, shaded demijohns. During this quiet sleep, sharp citrus top notes gently soften into aged sandalwood, while dense Cambodian oud molecules wrap themselves around delicate rose and jasmine petals.
Only when the composition has reached an unbroken equilibrium do we filter and bottle each flacon by hand (available in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml).
Our formulations contain between 30% and 34% pure perfume concentration, delivering a skin-scent longevity that lingers well past dawn without overpowering the room.
Our Unwavering Standards
Every flacon leaving our New Delhi atelier adheres to ethical sourcing, pure concentrations, and human craftsmanship.
Ethical Botanical Foraging
We partner directly with multi-generational farming families in Kannauj and Kashmir, guaranteeing fair trade compensation for hand-harvested blossoms.
Aged Sustainable Agarwood
Our oud is derived from legally certified, cultivated Aquilaria groves in Cambodia and Assam, safeguarding endangered wild forest reserves.
Zero Chemical Fixatives
We eschew synthetic phthalates and harsh propellant alcohols. Longevity is achieved naturally through heavy base resins like labdanum, amber, and benzoin.
Cruelty-Free Always
Never tested on animals. Our musk accords are constructed entirely through botanical seed distillates (ambrette) and ethical plant chemistry.

Each flacon is compounded in numbered batches in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes. We invite you to explore the notes or arrange a private olfactory consultation.
