About the Fragrance
A memory of India, steeped in the rich and airy fragrance of jasmine sambac and the creamier scent of sandalwood, is what guided the composition of Madurai. A fragrance that stirs the senses with vibrant notes of citrus and turmeric, like a colourful market stall. About the flacon: the plate of Madurai is inspired by the hypnotic motifs that can be found on the ceiling of the temple.
