Andhakara

Andhakara by The Perfume Sanctuary is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Andhakara was launched in 2025. Top notes are Gasoline, Smoke, Rose, Balsamic Notes and Citrus; middle notes are Turkish Rose, Patchouli, Castoreum and Honey; base notes are Leather, Amber, Oakmoss and Vetiver. Andhakara by The Perfume Sanctuary is a unisex fragrance that contrasts luminous floral sweetness with darker, animalic and smoky facets. The composition centers on Turkish rose presented in both otto and absolute forms, layered with wild honey to create a sweet, nuanced heart. Around this core, the scent introduces pronounced smoky and leathery notes, including gasoline and castoreum, alongside amber, to evoke a mood of depth and shadow. Classic chypre elements of citrus, patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss provide structure and complexity, supporting the interplay between light and darkness. The name “Andhakāra,” meaning darkness and obscurity in Sanskrit, and its inspiration from the film "The Blue Hour" (2015), underscore the fragrance’s focus on contrast and ambiguity.
