Rishikesh

If there is one fragnance in my collection that reminds me of the feeling of being inside a temple, it is Rishikesh. I have the Version 2 (or V2), which is allegedly saffron heavy, I wish I had a chance to sniff V1 & V3 as well to compare, V1 specially as it has beautiful natural ambergris as I have learnt from other reviews. I smell beautiful and captivating blend of saffron and sandalwood, mixed with beautiful lavender & tuberose, and the amber playing like a cornerstone in the background to elevate the holiness of this fragnance. The Neroli in my nose felt more prominently at the drydown, where the sandlewood with the right amount of amber sweetness is the main players. I say this is wearable in all seasons, though more suitable in autumn & spring, or any religious festival per se. Longevity is 4 - 5 hours, good projection for the first hour or two, then becomes mostly a skin scent, but as I wear this totally for myself so that was never an issue. This should be inoffensive to most, but if saffron and sandalwood is not your cup of tea, you should reconsider your buying decision. Mostly a people pleaser, as per my recommendation, for this price, this is totally blind by worthy (also good luck with a decant, because people who keeps this never decants any of this beautiful juice because this is harder to find, specially older variants, and who don't like it sells the whole bottle itself). Speaking of quality and exclusivity, nothing about the fragnance feels synthetic or cheap. It is amazing for what price this is being offered. An original creation by Project Perfumery's talented perfumer Mohit Khatri, this is not only a gem of Indian perfumery, but I dare to say in the whole world of perfumery (though my knowledge is still very limited about niche perfumery & almost none about exclusive releases at ultra expensive prices, yet I had my share of experience in years of being in the hobby). Smell - 9/10 Uniqueness - 7/10 Longivity - 5/10 Sillage - 4/10 This fragnance is so soothing that it calms me down when I'm stressed and instantly reminds me of the holiness of an Indian religious festival or a pilgrimage. This is pure joy and bliss in a bottle and an absolute keeper in my collection no matter how many super expensive & exclusive niches I get in future. I also wish to collect all the variants of this.

Whatttt a beautiful creation by perfumologist . 😍 My favourite from all of his creations so far.❤️ Though it named as RISHIKESH but it reminds me of another holy city of india - VRINDAVAN. ⛩️ Same floral sandalwood vibes you get in this Perfume which u get when u enter any Indian temple. 💐 Its a must buy fragrance . If u dont want to buy a bottle . Just grab a sample of it 👍 you wont regret. Sillage : Its a siage bomb. This creates a scent bubble which can be identified from a distance of 4-5 feet. Performance : I would say that you get a really nice performance from this of around 7hrs. Fragrance : 10/10 Sillage : 9/10 Performance : 8/10

This is the best niche juice you can get in natural perfumery. It smells like the ghats of the temple as well as the inside garbha of the temple where incense is burned. Performance is great considering that it is a natural fragrance. Niche lovers, sniff this beauty from India made by Perfumologist

This is one of the best creations from the house of Perfumologist. This takes me immediately to the Indian Hindu temple. Its Unisex and a must have to calm your senses. Longitivity is not an issue with this. Sillage is moderate but not bad. Surely, your best ones would love to sniff this on you
