"As part of the Tales Of India Collection, Nur is a unisex perfume that takes you back to 17th century India. It is named after the Mughal Empress Nur Jahan (meaning “Light of the world”). This beautiful and charismatic empress was hugely influential during her husband’s reign and is often thought to be the real power behind the throne. Furthermore, the couple was known to have a true and abiding love for each other and the story of their relationship is a romantic one. Nur is immortalized in art, poetry, and architecture, so to name a perfume after her is a bold choice. But this intoxicating perfume fully lives up to its name. Nur is an amber perfume supported by a complex blend of notes; the rose and Myrrh in particular are an ode to Nur’s Persian heritage and add a slight feel of the Middle East. However the saffron attar, champaca, and jasmine are pure India. Labdanum, when interwoven with the chempaka and amber also offers up a sensual incense element. With this perfume it is easy to imagine the opulence, yet earthiness of the royal palace and the Empress’s surroundings. She had wooden coffers of gold and jewels and the finest silk. Was encircled by fluttering ladies-in-waiting. And only the most delectable of dishes were served up to her; rich with saffron, vanilla, spices, and citrus. Nur perfume exemplifies the beauty, sensuality, mysticism, and romance of an India long ago. Yet while traces of the past remain, it can be worn with individuality, style, and panache in today’s modern world." - a note from the brand.
