The Art of Fine
Indian Perfumery.

Extrait de Parfum is the highest, most luxurious concentration of fragrance available. While standard Eau de Parfum (EDP) contains 15-20% perfume oil, Rhama Extrait contains an industry-leading 30%+. This means less alcohol evaporation, an incredibly rich olfactory profile, and a scent that lasts significantly longer on the skin.

India's extreme heat and tropical humidity cause the alcohol in standard EDT and EDPs to evaporate rapidly, taking the fragrance notes with them. Rhama is specifically climate-engineered for India. Our high oil concentration uses heavy base fixatives (like Patchouli, Vetiver, and Oud) that bind to the skin, preventing rapid evaporation and ensuring 12+ hours of sillage.

Yes. True haute perfumery is inherently genderless. We believe fragrance should not be restricted by gender marketing. Our complex blends of florals, woods, and spices are designed to interact uniquely with your individual skin chemistry, creating a bespoke scent profile whether you are a man or a woman.

Because Extrait is highly concentrated, a little goes a long way. Apply 2-3 sprays directly to moisturized pulse points (wrists, inner elbows, behind the ears, and the base of the neck). Pro Tip: Do not rub your wrists together after spraying, as the friction breaks down the delicate top notes and ruins the fragrance's architecture.

We expertly pre-macerate all our fragrances for weeks in temperature-controlled dark rooms in New Delhi before bottling. However, shipping can cause 'transit shock' due to temperature fluctuations. We recommend letting your new bottle rest in a cool, dark place for 3 to 5 days after receiving it to allow the complex notes to settle and reach their full potential.

Absolutely. Rhama is firmly committed to ethical perfumery. We are 100% vegan and never test on animals. We do not use any animal-derived ingredients such as natural deer musk, civet, or whale ambergris. Instead, we use highly advanced, safe, and ethical botanical or lab-created alternatives that offer the same luxurious depth.

A 'Clean' fragrance means we prioritize your health and skin safety. All Rhama formulations are strictly free from harmful phthalates, parabens, and sulfates. Furthermore, our entire catalog is compliant with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards to ensure maximum skin safety without compromising on scent projection.

Yes. We pride ourselves on our geo-sourcing. We utilize ethically harvested wild Assam Oud for a rich, smoky profile, and regulated authentic Mysore Sandalwood for its legendary creamy depth. By partnering with ethical harvesters, we ensure top-tier quality while protecting endangered natural resources.

Projection is how far the scent pushes away from your body into the air around you. Sillage (pronounced see-yazh) is the invisible scent trail you leave behind as you walk. Rhama's 30% Extraits are expertly blended to offer a polite but distinct projection, combined with an incredibly long, intoxicating sillage that fills the room beautifully.

To preserve the delicate botanical notes and essential oils, store your bottle in a cool, dark place (like a closet or a bedroom drawer) away from direct sunlight and humidity. Never store luxury perfume in the bathroom, as the constant extreme temperature shifts from showers will rapidly degrade the fragrance.
