Jaipur

By the editors · 2 min readJaipur opens with the bruised sweetness of stone fruit—plum and peach mostly, with pineapple lending a bright, syrupy edge. The effect is lush without being cloying, like walking past a market stall in late summer. As it settles, a thick blanket of white florals emerges: jasmine and lily of the valley wrapped in rose and peony, creating a heady, almost narcotic richness that dominated women's fragrance counters in the mid-nineties.

The base is where Jaipur shows its ambition. Benzoin and vanilla provide a resinous warmth, while sandalwood and cedar give just enough structure to keep the sweetness from collapsing into itself. Heliotrope adds a powdery, almond-like softness that feels both vintage and deliberate.

This is unapologetically bold perfumery—meant to fill a room, not whisper. It suits those who remember when fragrance was worn as presence, not suggestion.
