The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Roja Dove, Lakmé is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the freshness of aldehydes and citruses with the warmth of woody and powdery accords. The heart of May Rose and Taif Rose provides a lush floral bouquet, while notes like magnolia and lily-of-the-valley add subtle green undertones. As it settles, Lakmé reveals a musky base that is both comforting and sophisticated, anchored by sandalwood and vanilla.
Lakmé has a rich base that blooms gradually, so it's best to apply it an hour before you intend to wear it. The aldehydes and citruses are bright but fleeting, while the rose and woodsy notes last longer and develop throughout the day.
