I created this perfume while writing my book In Sensorium, during lockdown, and it is meant to summon the Ganges River journey, from its source in the Himalayas to its end at the Bay of Bengal. Perfume is a borderless substance, one that erases our divisions and honors our interconnected lineages. This perfume is made with rare botanical attars sourced from Kannauj, one of the stops on this river journey, and features a mélange of olfactory notes that evoke the infinite landscapes of South Asia.
“Losing my sense of smell terrified me, threatening my livelihood and what brought me so much pleasure. When I regained my strength and nose, I went to my perfume studio to work on a commissioned fragrance. Bay of Bengal saltwater accord, dirtied drop by drop with the murky notes of patchouli, seaweed absolute, and red Buddha wood, reminiscent of river pollution, pyre ashes, aquatic funk. Mitti attar accord sourced from Kannauj, remnants of worship flowers, carnation, rose, and marigold, bright and spicy florals punctuated by cardamom and the nutmeg at its heart. Perfume would be my pilgrimage.”

As a marketplace, we curate vegan and sustainable products from many amazing brands – but we don’t hold stock, so when you order a product from us, the item is shipped from the brand directly. This eliminates needless carbon emissions and use of resources from not having to have the item packaged and shipped to us, and then repackaged and shipped out again to the customer, and not having to run major warehouse operations in addition to those of our brands. If you have purchased multiple items from different brands at the same time, each item will be sent separately and directly from each individual brand. We manage all customer communications, so if you have any questions or issues with the delivery of your item, please contact us at hello@veganist.com.
Delivery Times
Our brands usually dispatch items within 1-2 days of your order. Shipping can take between 3-10 days, depending on where you are based and where the brand is based. However, please be aware that we are unable to control whether there are postal strikes or other external factors that may affect delivery time.
