“Ashoka” is a tribute to an emperor who was conquered by his own compassion at the moment his victory was assured. He converted to Buddhism and devoted the rest of his life to spreading the Buddha’s teachings, to truth, to justice and to compassion for all living creatures beneath the sun. His own evolution from ruthless conqueror to benevolent emperor is reflected in Ashoka’s journey from the fierce opening to a softly floral heart and the gentle embrace of its richly complex dry down.

“Ashoka” is many things at once: it melds green, milky, earthy, and watery floral notes into one enticing and multifaceted scent. It is a brilliant scent for both men and women looking for a complex yet comforting scent to be worn year-round.

Top notes: lotus, rose, water hyacinth, fig leaf, parsley leaf and osmanthus absolute.

Heart notes: cassie absolute, iris, incense essence, Jasmine sambac, fig milk, geranium and Ylang-Ylang.
