There is a particular time in the year which is a lot more special as compared to most other days in the year when you feel like your heartstrings are tuned to melodies of romance. It is a day when in the sweet anticipation of your beloved’s arms around you, sleep doesn’t come easy, and the presence of others’ voices is a blur and all that the ears want to embrace is a special voice. Love seems to be in the air. Tears ripple on the rims of your eyes, unbeknownst when the other is about to whisper something like ‘Be mine’ or simply, ‘I love you. And then there’s the smile – simultaneously bright and shy – synonymous to an agreement, an unsaid vow, a promise, of togetherness through good and bad times. It is time to love, a time for love – it is Valentine’s day.
Celebrated in thousands of countries across the world on that one special date – the 14th of February every year, Valentine’s Day is a day when Love matters the most – as it should! This special date calls for a memorable celebration or maybe a special gift
Kastoor
From time immemorial, Ittars have the power to cut through the strongest walls, make soldiers put down their weapons, and make kings talk in poetry. But somewhere in the race of chasing foreign notes, ittars lost their supremacy. India, which was once envied for its olfactory richness, deserves to contour its presence on the global map of scents. Kastoor is a humble attempt to bring the famed ittar culture back, with a modern twist.
Kastoor , a brand of “modern ittars” , offers a modern experience of distilled history. Exclusive ittar blends cater to the modern scent sensibilities created after months of trials and research. Made through traditional methods of hydrodistillation, the ittars are without any alcohol and chemicals, using pure extracts, reinventing the oldest and the purest form of perfumery for the modern world & heralding the culture of clean fragrances in India. Their modern ittars are created with a variety of ingredients ranging from the mighty Oudh to the sweetest flowers.
