Agra

Agra is an olfactory interpretation of the Indian city of Agra, inspired by the beauty and serenity surrounding the Taj Mahal. Perfumer Caroline Dumur translated her personal memory of India into a fragrance that evokes the grandeur of Mughal architecture, the gardens surrounding the monument and the peaceful atmosphere she experienced during her journey.

The fragrance opens with vibrant ginger, accompanied by cardamom and neroli. This combination creates a bright, fresh and subtly aromatic introduction. As Agra develops, a lush floral heart of Indian tuberose and jasmine emerges, flowers that are deeply associated with love and beauty in Indian culture. Ylang ylang adds a soft, luminous floral facet.

The drydown becomes warmer and smoother, with tonka bean and vanilla creating a creamy, enveloping base. These ingredients soften the floral heart while bringing warmth and depth to the composition. The result is an elegant floral fragrance with a warm, sensual undertone and a strong sense of refinement.

Note Description

Ginger brings a fresh and vibrant spicy character to the opening, while cardamom adds aromatic refinement and neroli introduces a luminous floral freshness.

The heart reveals an opulent white floral character. Indian tuberose and jasmine create the rich floral core, complemented by the soft, sunny character of ylang ylang.

Tonka bean and vanilla form the warm foundation, adding softness, creaminess and a gentle sweetness that rounds the composition beautifully.

What makes Agra so special?

Agra stands out through its balance between fresh spice and opulent white florals. Ginger and cardamom give the opening character, while tuberose and jasmine create a rich floral heart. Tonka bean and vanilla then add warmth and softness to the composition.

More than an interpretation of a city, Agra expresses a personal memory of India, bringing together beauty, history, architecture and a feeling of inner serenity.
