We wrote each composition from a specific place. Walk the coordinates below — the bottle follows.
Crawford Market. Dalal Street. Marine Drive. Each composition was drafted at one of these three points — and they still sit within a single long walk of each other.
Where it began, in 1950. The smell of sandalwood and oud still lives in the floorboards of the original atelier, a short walk from the flower stalls. Warm resins, soft spice, a quiet dry-down.
Saffron and leather for the deal-makers of South Bombay. Aged oud, rose absolute, a long leather dry-down. Worn in trading rings, boardrooms, and the long evenings that follow.
Composed on a monsoon morning facing the Arabian Sea — fig leaf, tea, vetiver, ambergris. The Bombay coast, distilled. Weightless, luminous, far-reaching.

Crawford Market to Dalal Street is seven minutes on foot. From Dalal Street to Marine Drive, another ten. The entire house, in other words, fits inside a morning — a single walk from a workshop to the sea.
Three addresses. Three compositions. One bench, still.
