✦ RAAT RAANI ATTAR - Queen of the Night ✦

"Raat Raani" translates from Hindi as "Queen of the Night" - a name that perfectly captures the extraordinary character of this remarkable flower. Cestrum nocturnum, as it is known botanically, is a flowering shrub whose small, pale, unremarkable blossoms release one of the most intensely sweet and intoxicating fragrances in the natural world - but only after dark, when the flower opens fully and fills the night air with a sweetness so powerful it can perfume an entire garden from a single plant.

Raat Raani is a flower that must be experienced to be believed. By day it is quiet and unassuming. By night it is extraordinary. Raat Raani Attar captures that nocturnal magic - the deep, sweet, heady rush of the night-blooming flower at its most powerful - in a pure, alcohol-free perfume oil of exceptional intensity and beauty.

THE SCENT PROFILE

Raat Raani Attar opens with a rush of intensely sweet, heady florals - immediately nocturnal and deeply sensual, with a richness and sweetness that is unlike any daytime flower. As it settles on the skin, a warm, creamy depth develops beneath the sweetness, with hints of jasmine-like indolic warmth and a soft powdery creaminess that gives the fragrance its distinctive opulent character. The sandalwood base slowly draws these extraordinary florals inward, producing a fragrance that is intimate, enveloping, and enduringly beautiful.

ORIGIN & PRODUCTION

Raat Raani Attar is crafted in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh - India's historic perfume capital, with an attar-making tradition stretching back over 400 years. The raat raani flower is one of the most prized and distinctive flowers in the classical Kannauj attar tradition, beloved by master perfumers for the extraordinary intensity and beauty of its nocturnal fragrance. The attar is produced using the traditional deg-bhapka method of hydro-distillation, recognised by UNESCO as part of India's intangible cultural heritage, with fresh blossoms harvested at night when their fragrance is at its absolute peak, then carefully distilled over pure sandalwood oil. No alcohol, no synthetic fixatives - only the finest natural materials and time.
