Mother’s Day SpecialThis Mother’s Day, Reminisce Your Most Loved Memories with Scented Stories
A scented storyPersonalized Intense Perfumed Mists for Mother’s Day
Forest Essentials is renowned for immersive scents that create unforgettable auras. From the streets of Madurai, snow clad valleys of Nargis scented Kashmir to the voluptous Rose gardens of Kannauj – in the past two decades, we have recreated the primal pull of these traditional Indian fragrances in our signature glass bottles that have been loved by all.
As a gift for Mother’s Day, we decided to take our unparalleled perfumery skills to the next level by specially hand-blending artisanal, limited edition perfumed mists for the most significant person of your life – your mother.
These select fragrances are not just a blend of ingredients but a warm cocoon of memories that envelope you, when you think of her. The scent of her dupatta, the Mogra on her wooden chiffonier, the incidentally tousled hair that suggested the presence of flowers from the night before, or the clinking of her glass bangles whilst she put you to sleep, with a lullaby. You can select a fragrance based on the characteristics or memories that are evocative of your mother.
Introducing four exceptional blends with the memory of your mother as a muse…
Fragrance family – CitrusAmma’s Shringaar
Muse: “I would hear the sound of her payal across the room and run to the slightly opened door, to catch a glimpse of Amma getting ready in the morning. Her lustrous hair would lie braided flat down on her back as she adorned her hair with flowers and tucked her saree that captured the whiff of freshly laundered, crisp cotton.”

Fragrance Family – Floral, WoodyChandani Raatein
Muse: “Bed time stories were our favourite part of my mother’s cosseted nightly ritual for her children. She would tie her hair in a top knot that revealed her neck with wafting aroma of fragrant Orange Blossom with a drift of Coriander. She would make space for herself on our bed, whilst her bangles clinked to open our most loved books of stories that could be heard innumerable times in her melodious voice.”

Fragrance Family – FloralSaanjh Ke Lahme
Muse: “At sundown, Ma loved scenting the house with Camphor and her soothing blends of resins that she would always have stored in the prayer room. I would wake up from my evening nap with the magnetic pull of this familiar fragrance that suggested the beginning of long, scented evenings.”

Fragrance family – FloralBikhri Zulfein
Muse: “My mother’s shy smile, when asked about the tales of her wedding, spoke louder than words. She would tell us about the unsaid gestures of love during her youth, which connoted more than the three word and eight letters – the meeting of eyes across the room, the hastily written notes on fragrant letter paper, open hair that was termed flirtatious by elders in the family.”
Description:With fresh top notes of Bela and Neroli flowers, this crisp fragrance is both sensual and refreshing.
