Fallen Leaves evokes the quiet intimacy of stepping out on a fall afternoon, just after the rain has ended.

At its heart is mitti attar, a precious essence produced exclusively in Kannauj, India. Known as the "smell of rain," mitti attar is a co-distillation of sandalwood and the unique earth of the region. The production of Indian attars is an ancient art, with a lineage spanning thousands of years, possibly as far back as 3300 BC.

Traditionally, sandalwood has served as a grounding element for intense floral compositions, while taming even the most malodorous ingredients. This was exemplified in Nuit de Chine, a perfume that built its tension around a massive dose of sandalwood, transforming otherwise challenging notes into a beautifully naturalized accord.

Fallen Leaves contains all the elements of tradition, but with wild twist on the concept: by replacing sandalwood for a torrent of luxurious mitti attar, while florals are substituted with an overdose of sumptuous violet leaf. The result is uncannily familiar, tranquil, & beautiful—an embrace of the damp weather of fall.
