How it unfolds

A scent pyramid, not a note list.

Shanaya opens on citrus, pink pepper, settles into jasmine, rose, and dries down to vanilla, musk. Because it is an alcohol-based eau de parfum, it lifts off the skin and carries further into the room — expect 6–8 hours from two or three sprays.

The blend

Shanaya

Shanaya is a study in velvet-rose balance — built to be worn close and remembered long.

Citrus and pink pepper lead the first minutes before Jasmine and Rose take over; Vanilla and Musk do the remembering long after. An eau de parfum with real staying power — built for date evenings and close conversations and beyond.

Two formats

Alcohol-free roll-on attars that stay close, and eau de parfums that carry.

Long-wearing

6–8 hours on skin from a single application.

Small-batch

Blended and filled in our own workshop in India.

Gift-ready

Wrapped by hand, with a note if you want one.

The ritual

How to wear it.

Start on warm skin

Roll or spray once across the inside of each wrist. Body heat opens the top notes.

Pulse points only

Wrists, the hollow behind each ear, base of the throat. Three points is plenty.

Do not rub

Rubbing crushes the top notes and shortens the dry-down. Let it sit.

Re-apply when it steps back

An oil stays close and fades quietly; an eau de parfum carries further and thins sooner. One more pass at the wrists is enough either way.

Concentrated attar oil being decanted from a glass vial

Shanaya lasts around 6–8 hours on skin. It is an eau de parfum, so concentration is high and the dry-down is gradual — vanilla and musk linger longest. Spray on pulse points and once on clothing; fabric holds the scent even longer than skin.

Yes — Shanaya is an eau de parfum, so like all fine-fragrance sprays it uses a perfumer's alcohol base. The alcohol evaporates within seconds of spraying, leaving only the fragrance itself. If you prefer a completely alcohol-free format, Essent's roll-on attars deliver a similar depth in a pure oil base.

Shanaya is genuinely unisex. The velvet-rose character reads elegant rather than gendered, and it is worn and loved by both men and women. Fragrance families like rose oriental sit on skin chemistry differently for everyone — which is exactly what makes a shared bottle interesting.

Two to four sprays are enough. Hold the bottle 10–15 cm from skin and target pulse points — neck, chest, wrists — plus one spray on clothing if you want extra staying power. Shanaya is an eau de parfum, so over-spraying is unnecessary; let the vanilla and musk base do the work of lasting.

Shanaya is at its best during date evenings and close conversations, and everyday wear. Its velvet-rose profile has the projection for open rooms and evening air, so it matches the setting rather than fighting it. Many wearers make it their signature for exactly those moments.

Yes — Shanaya also comes as an 8 ml alcohol-free roll-on attar with the same scent profile in concentrated oil form. The roll-on wears closer to skin, lasts longer per application and fits any pocket, making it the pick for travel, touch-ups and alcohol-free preferences. Find it linked on this page.
