Mohur is a rose-based fragrance, a combination of opulent Moghul rose perfumes and a distinguished spicy leather bouquet that can only be imagined during a polo match. To capture this moment, Mohur has been created as a refined rose-oudh alliance that pays tribute to Noor Jahan’s power and talent. Empress Noor Jahan devoted herself to the art of perfumery as it had been passed down from her mother.
It exemplifies the nearly 500-year span of India’s history that was shaped by a succession of influences from the outside world, from invaders to traders to colonizers, and which also gave rise to some of the most magnificent architecture the world has ever seen, including the Taj Mahal. The word Mohur derives from Sanskrit and refers to the most valuable gold coin in India’s history, the last of which were minted in 1918. The scent embodies, and is a dedication to, the mix of all the best of Moghul and the British Raj - a complex period in history for Indians which saw the flowering of unique gifts of the arts, music and education.

Love the inspiration for this fragrance..it certainly raised my expectations and I was not disapppointed. I am not a cherry fan (at all) but the black cherry note intrigued me. The initial blast is very cherry...medicinal cherry.. but that passes in a split second and the fragrance develops into a beautiful, elegant, slightly sweet composition of loveliness. This is exceptional..all class. I will be buying a full bottle and Im eager to try others from this house now. Longevity is only ok. Unisex in my view.
One of the best Summer/Tropical scents out there. Does lean more feminine to my nose but a man can definitely wear this on a hot day no worries. This is a strong fruit scent, sweet but not in a sugary dessert way, for me there is a pleasant mango/fig vibe. Notably this scent stays consistent throughout the entire dry down which is a good thing. Overall this is one of the best Summer scents out there, I just wish it leaned more masculine.
