In 2024, the French perfume house Indult introduced the fragrance Isvaraya. This is a feminine eau de parfum created by the renowned Francis Kurkdjian.
The name in Sanskrit means "divine energy" — and the composition is indeed filled with depth and light.
Isvaraya belongs to the oriental woody family, giving it a warm, resinous character.
The heart of the composition opens with notes of jasmine and elemi — a delicate floral accent with fresh balsamic undertones.
The base is composed of precious amber, labdanum, patchouli, and oakmoss, creating a warm earthy-resinous foundation.
Plum tree adds an unexpected fruity-woody note, making the pyramid layered and memorable.
This fragrance is for women who appreciate refined oriental compositions. With a soft sillage, it is ideal for intimate gatherings or a romantic evening.
Application: it is recommended to "walk into the cloud" — spray once or twice into the air and step under the fragrant mist.
On clothing, 2–3 sprays can be applied to prolong the scent throughout the day.
Isvaraya continues the tradition of Indult to create niche, exclusive compositions with a story. Kurkdjian's work highlights the house's mastery in working with balsamic and woody accents.
If you like this scent, we recommend checking out Comme des Garçons Parfums Series 3 Incense: Avignon, Montale Full Incense, and Estée Lauder Amber Mystique — they explore a similar incense-amber theme.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Isvaraya is built on the contrast of light and dark notes. The top notes immediately envelop you with soft amber and elemi. In the heart, jasmine blossoms, adding femininity to the fragrance.
The base is composed of labdanum, oakmoss, patchouli, and plum wood — a warm, slightly smoky foundation. All the notes intertwine in a harmonious oriental-woody bouquet.
