Opening with a ripe, juicy playful fruity pop, Aroha Absolute is quickly balanced with a resinous, sherbety and slightly medicinal cloud of incense, on an earthy woody base of patchouli and vetiver.

Inspired by AROHA, the Sanskrit concept of our soul soaring, perfumer Nelly Hachem-Ruiz imagined temple offerings to create this dazzling fruity floral and frankincense trio.

The fruity notes of strawberry with hints of sweet citrus and mango are playful, ripe and juicy with a youthful innocence. To complete the temple offering, the fragrant floral heart of intoxicating jasmine, the ultimate sacred flower in Indian culture, marries the rich and honeyed but fresh and uplifting Moroccan orange flower.

The surrounding temple emerges into focus with tendrils of mystical incense, complex with citrus and medicinal notes and a resinous sparkle with the heart of Ciste Absolute.

Ciste Absolute extracted from a rock rose, has leathery, amber, sun-soaked herbal facets blending complexity and spice into the incense creating a bridge between the floral heart and earthy woody base. The presence of cool stone and well polished woods complete the picture with a subtle fruity patchouli with earthy, cool, mossy stone facets and a smoky, slightly dry and woody vetiver.

A radiant and soulful scent where sacred incense and juicy fruits bloom into golden resins and a smoky earthy base.

Aroha in Sanskrit, is a nuanced concept of ascension, both physical and metaphorical. It can reference the ascension of musical notes rising like a lark at dawn and the rise of the soul towards peace and higher consciousness.

AROHA speaks of the heart rising and of beauty, spirituality and inner transformation. Inspired by temples of worship across Asia and the sacred offerings, this perfume embodies and evokes the places and spaces of contemplation and meditation inviting a sense of spirituality and connection.

Nelly Hachem-Ruiz realised the sense of harmony, balance and comfort sought in sacred spaces through the combination of temple offerings, incense hanging in the air, cool stones and polished woods and a celebration of the universality of life.
