Cardamom and mandarin orange over leather
Chandigarh Express traces the birth of a modernist utopia. The mid-1950s vision that rose from the Himalayan foothills where India and France met to build a city out of nothing. Cardamom, jasmine, and davana evoke the tropical jungle framing this dream; leather and vetiver ground it in concrete and ambition. It's a fragrance of departure and creation, where exotic warmth meets architectural discipline.
