The name refers to the most valuable gold coin in India’s history, the last of which was minted in 1918. A way, perhaps, of underlining the value given to perfumery during the Mogul era, an art so highly considered that the most powerful empress of the Mughal dynasty, Noor Jahan, devoted herself to perfecting it.

Though Mohur is built on the classic Eastern accord of rose and oud, with its powdery orris accords it also manages to conjure the opulence of classic French fragrances. 

But the real surprise in “Mohur” is the subtle Indian pastry accord tucked in the petals of its rose garden, with notes of carrot, almond, cardamom and ambrette, lending a tender touch to this majestic composition.

Top notes: cardamom, coriander, ambrette, carrot, black pepper and elemi.

Heart notes: Turkish rose oil, jasmine, orris, hawthorn, almond milk accord and leather.

Base notes: sandalwood, amber, patchouli, oudh from Laos, benzoin, vanilla and tonka bean.
