A mandala, Sanskrit for "circle," is a sacred geometric symbol representing the universe, wholeness and the self in Buddhism. This luminous eau de parfum opens the window to your inner garden, redolent with peachy osmanthus, crushed leaves and the apple-and-hay joy of marigold. Green mango draws you outward, and the creamy-salty notes of sun-kissed skin pulls you back into yourself. Abundant and hopeful.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon with the windows open, tart fruit sliced on the table and conversation close enough to catch a scent from bare skin. The Mandala’s leafy brightness and savory floral warmth suit an informal, intimate presence rather than a ceremonious entrance.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on exposed skin in mild to warm weather, letting the green mango and floral textures unfold against the creamy, salty impression. In strong heat or close quarters, apply lightly; the earthy vetiver and patchouli base offers a counterweight to the bright opening.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to tart fruit rather than sugary sweetness, and florals with leafy, hay-like or leathery texture. Its savory skin accord and earthy base will appeal to wearers who enjoy sensuality without a conventional sweet amber finish.
Release year
2024 (or 2025)
The nose
Alex Lee composed The Mandala, translating Ankita Gill’s memories of Indian summers into a balance of tart fruit, textured florals and earthy woods. Here, green mango and marigold give the composition its distinctive savory brightness, while osmanthus brings peachy softness and a leathery undertone.
Collaborators
Founder and creative director Ankita Gill shaped the fragrance’s autobiographical vision: green mango recalled carefree summer afternoons, while marigold evoked prayers, celebrations and flower-decorated doorways. She collaborated with Alex Lee to translate those memories into the composition.
Param Sara’s story
Param Sara draws on Eastern symbolism and Asian cultural heritage to approach fragrance as a form of self-exploration. Rooted in founder Ankita Gill’s connections to India and China, the house turns ingredients, rituals and personal memories into contemporary scents, with an emphasis on natural materials, biotechnology and green chemistry.
The Mandala’s concept
The Mandala brings together Gill’s memories of Indian summer and the circular symbol’s movement from an energetic perimeter toward a quiet center. Green mango expresses outward vitality; marigold and osmanthus introduce a more reflective register. This journey gives the fragrance its narrative of self-discovery and transformation.
Extra info
The Mandala won People’s Choice: Independent at the 2025 Art and Olfaction Awards—a community-ballot distinction, separate from the juried Independent prize. It also won Best Artistic Fragrance at the 2025 Golden Osmanthus Awards.
