I just got their sample set today. I've tried out all of them. I have positive feelings. They definitely managed to create a great scent story for each of the perfume.

My favorites are Hazy Reflections and 221B. Hazy Reflection will probably work all year round. It has a watery quality to it, as if you applied a perfume and walked through a drizzle. It's beautiful scent. It's has the makings of a signature scent. Website says its inspired by a Durga Puja, I can kind of see it. I didn't realise that marigolds smell so good. I'm buying a full bottle. Perfect for summer, monsoon. Maybe a little light for colder weather. It leaves a faint smell close to skin after it wears off, I could smell it after a shower(somehow). Unisex, female leaning to me.

221B is inspired by Sherlock Holmes. I didn't see it that way at all though. To me, it smelled like a rich, traditional indian house from 20 years ago. The kind that don't really exist anymore tbh. I smelled camphor, bettle nut, puja flowers, saffron milk, old leather and old wood furniture (like heritage kind of old). It reminded me of my childhood and listening to dadi-dada's stories. First spray made me think of a puja room right before a Hawan begins. Unisex male leaning. Autumn-WInter might be a good time to wear this, but I can see it being used in monsoon as well.

Fleur de soir smelled straight-up like a salon or another similar feminine space. Flowery and powdery. Stays close to skin and leaves a scent trail. Leaves a very beautiful musky skin scent after it fades. A very feminine scent. I liked layering this with 221B.

Golden Jazz - smells rich. Couldn't get past the whisky. Not suitable for summer but it'll be beautiful in winter. More masculine. Unfortunately I don't like the smell of Whisky, so I'm gonna pass on this.

Cafe Neroli - watery lotus and vanilla with Rum. My nose gets overwhelmed by the Rum note so I can't give a good assessment. My sister said it smells really nice and gourmand. Unisex.

All of their scents are described as unisex and I can see both genders wearing any of their perfumes. Longevity is kinda bad 3-4 hours max. I can smell is for maybe 3 hours. Maybe it'll last long in winter. I might buy full size of Hazy reflections, 221B and Cafe neroli. These are some great atmosphere inspired scent stories. Like, is it a perfume, is it a vibe?

I'm looking forward to my bottle of Hazy Reflections and what this house creates. I'm happy with this direction that the perfume houses in India are taking. It makes me excited for a time when our perfumes would have a place in the global market.
