” India is in our DNA. It is Kavi’s motherland and it has always called to me. It is a big source of inspiration for the brand. The Bodhi—a holy fig tree—is revered in India for its association with Lord Krishna. It is also the tree Gotama Buddha received enlightenment under. You can still visit the place where the tree stood (and stands replanted) in the Bihar state.
Holy Ficus is a loose fantasy based on the this tree. We took a classic fig accord and draped it in ginger, saffron, frankincense, and cardamom. It fills the room with a Indian spices, wonderful fruit, and hopefully a faded memory of something larger.”

The scent after it rains is a favorite aromatic genre of mine—and many people as it turns out. Perfumers have a few tools to use in the category of ozone—or things that smell like water and air.
Geosmin is the scent molecule released from bacteria in dirt after it rains. What’s lovely, is that the Geosmin blends with different aromatics in different environments. Whereas in the forest it smells dank yet fresh, in the city you get the scent of hot asphalt and concrete quickly cooled by rain.
“It is as if the whole city is boiling, overlapping in scent.
and when rain and thunder come, all is released into the air in an instant. It smells fresh, unique and only of summer in the city. Concrete After Lightning is simple–you have the air, rain, steam, and some of the weeds that grow in the cracks of New York City.”
