Inspired by a legendary ruler, Ashoka is a tribute to an emperor who was conquered by his own compassion at the moment his victory was assured.
He converted to Buddhism and devoted the rest of his life to spreading the Buddha’s teachings, to truth, to justice and to compassion for all living creatures beneath the sun.
His own evolution from ruthless conqueror to benevolent emperor is reflected in Ashoka’s journey from the fierce opening to a softly floral heart & the gentle embrace of its richly complex drydown.

Ashoka is many things at once – it melds green, milky, earthy, and watery floral notes into one multifaceted scent. The opening is a refreshing and green, but as soon as you think that the scent is all about watery green notes, the earthy and leathery notes surprise your nose. And then suddenly some creamy lactic notes appear.

Ashoka is a perfect scent for both men and women looking for a complex yet comforting scent to be worn year-round. Suitable for every season, every climate.
