The Character and Concept of the Fragrance
DSH Perfumes Ashram Perfume is a rich unisex fragrance in perfume concentration, or Extrait de Parfum.
Its composition combines balsamic and woody nuances, creating a deep, meditative presence with a distinctive character and a very powerful sillage.
The fragrance was created by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, founder and perfumer of the American house DSH Perfumes.
The brand was founded in 2000 in Boulder, Colorado, and represents an individual vision of niche perfumery in which artistic freedom is combined with close attention to natural and expressive olfactory materials.
How It Develops on the Skin
The pyramid of Ashram Perfume is built around champaca, an exotic floral accord with soft fruity, honeyed and subtly spicy nuances.
At the heart of the composition, the floral motif becomes warmer and denser as amber, benzoin, patchouli and sandalwood join it, forming an enveloping, resinous-woody heart.
As it unfolds, the fragrance acquires a noble dryness and ceremonial depth.
Cedar, incense, myrrh and vetiver form a lasting base with smoky, cool, earthy and resinous nuances, giving Ashram Perfume a full-bodied and noticeable presence even when applied sparingly.
Wearability and Sillage
This is a fragrance for those who appreciate expressive compositions without a strict association with either a feminine or masculine wardrobe.
It is especially fitting in cool weather, in the evening, at important meetings and whenever you want to leave behind a distinctive olfactory impression.
Its very powerful sillage makes Ashram Perfume a striking choice for lovers of intense extraits.
The rich formula reveals itself best gradually, so the fragrance should be applied moderately and given time to show its transition from a floral opening to an amber-balsamic heart and a woody-resinous base.
Its Place in the Brand's Style
Ashram Perfume conveys the artistic DNA of DSH Perfumes particularly well: there is no attempt at a simple or carefree scent, but there is plenty of layering, contrast between materials and attention to mood.
Champaca softens the austere woody-balsamic foundation, while incense, myrrh and benzoin give the composition a sense of silence, warmth and inner focus.
Similar Fragrances
Those interested in the spicy, resinous and rich side of Ashram Perfume may want to explore Yves Saint Laurent Opium, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Majalis and The Spirit of Dubai Durra.
These fragrances share a love of dense oriental accords, while Ashram Perfume stands out through its combination of champaca, sacred resins and dry woody notes.
As a result, Ashram Perfume will appeal to those looking not for a universal background scent, but for a complete olfactory statement.
This is a multifaceted perfume extract with a powerful sillage that unfolds slowly and confidently, sounding especially beautiful on the skin in cool air.
