Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Divyam Trivedi is a perfumer with a unique perspective on fragrances, whose name is increasingly heard among niche perfume enthusiasts. She doesn't just create perfumes; she translates ancient philosophical concepts into the language of scents. Her works are meditation in the form of a composition: each note is chosen to awaken inner harmony. Perhaps the master's most famous fragrance is Atman for Kashti, which instantly caught the attention of the conscious perfumery community.
Divyam was born in India, where she absorbed the traditions of Ayurveda and aromatherapy from childhood. Her professional journey began not in perfumery school, but with the study of how essential oils affect emotional states. Later she delved deeper into the science of scents, interned in European laboratories, but her native culture remained her main source of inspiration. This fusion of academic knowledge and Eastern wisdom became her hallmark.
Divyam Trivedi's style is easy to recognize: her fragrances almost always feature calming notes of sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense, and transparent floral chords. She avoids sharp synthetic notes, preferring natural extracts and smoky nuances. Each of her perfumes is an olfactory journey that begins with a bright burst of spices and then smoothly transitions into a soft, enveloping base. This is the ideal choice for those who seek in perfumery not just an accessory, but a tool for self-discovery.
The perfumer's main hit is Atman by Kashti. This unisex fragrance is built around frankincense, black pepper, and leather—it sounds like an ancient mantra translated into modern perfumery language. Also among Divyam's top works is the composition "Moksha" (for another niche house)—a light, smoky floral perfume with jasmine and myrrh. Her fragrances are rarely "loud," but they leave a long aftertaste and generate many responses even among those who are usually indifferent to niche scents.
For now, Divyam Trivedi's main project remains working with the brand Kashti—a young house that bets on ethical perfumery with Ayurvedic roots. However, the master also creates capsule collections for Indian ateliers and conducts workshops on olfactory meditation. In the industry, she is valued for her uncompromising approach to raw material quality and her ability to make complex yet wearable fragrances.
On forums and social media, perfume lovers note that Divyam Trivedi's works stand out for their "depth" and "meditative quality." Many admit that they first felt a genuine connection with a fragrance through her perfumes. The rating of Atman confidently holds a top spot among niche flankers, and reviews are unanimous: this is a fragrance you want to explore and experience. If you are looking not just for a perfume, but a tool for tuning your inner state, pay attention to the perfumery of this talented creator.
Divyam Trivedi is a prominent representative of a new generation of perfumers who blend high art with accessibility. Her approach proves that niche perfumery can be both profound and understandable. Currently, the master is working on a line of fragrances based on natural pheromones and herbal infusions—a project that promises to be a real event.
