Golconda

Really lovely spotlight on cardamom. It's such a multifaceted note, and all the other players here are rallying together to highlight all of its different aspects. Next to its sibling, Bijapur, this feels more subtle, but that's admittedly an unfair comparison since that one demands the wearer's attention so adamantly. When I first applied this, the sandalwood was what hit me first, probably due to its being paired with the lactonic notes. My mind went to Piano Santal and other creamy sandalwood scents I'd experienced. But Im glad I gave Golconda multiple wearings because the cardamom really sings once you’re accustomed to the perfume. For those who love floral gourmands and who wish for cardamom to play less of a supporting role in their perfumes and be brought to the forefront, this is will likely be an instant love. Excellent set at a great price point relative to quality. Beautiful.

I really like this fragrance — it feels rich, elegant, and beautifully composed. The quality of the ingredients is unmistakable; every note comes through with smooth precision. The creamy mix of cardamom, milk, almond, and saffron gives it a warm, spicy opening that feels both comforting and luxurious. As it develops, the rose and honey blend into the depth of oud, sandalwood, and amber, creating a sensual, golden glow. Golconda feels like an olfactory jewel — refined, radiant, and full of character. A must try if you like oriental florals.

This is just an amazing set!! They are both so unique and extremely well crafted. The silage is just right. I love the creaminess of Golconda with the cardamon, it is sublime. And the aromatics of Bijapur are juxtaposed with the beautiful rose perfectly. The rose in both is a lovely connection! That price is incredible -so well worth it!! Especially for the quality of ingredients, the oud alone is special. And the shipping was extremely fast and smooth! Well done gentleman!!

Lovely gourmand with a floral twist. Artisan niche perfumery. Quality ingredients throughout the structure. Playful, unique and opulent. A gourmand journey with exciting layers.

I was really hoping for a perfume that smelled like ras malai with the note breakdown. While I do get the sweetness typical with Indian desserts (another reviewer mentioned gulab jamun), I am missing the lactonic notes of the milk in my sample vial. Straight out of the bottle, the oud and sandalwood are pretty strong, so I was worried it would be more masculine-leaning upon wearing, but it dries down to a more balanced, warm, and rich scent that isn't overly gourmand. It's a beautiful fragrance that is a great unisex find, and I would love a full bottle.
