Yogesh Kumar creates fragrances that are personally and individually tailored to each customer. He begins with the unique scent of the person. To craft a bespoke fragrance, Yogesh takes what he calls the “body scent measurement” of his clients. This can involve smelling the client’s neck or a favorite piece of clothing. Based on this scent and through a personal conversation, the fragrance type is determined. Selected natural essences from Ayurveda are used as the base notes for these compositions.
