The Republic of India is one of the most densely populated regions in the world as well as one of the most vibrant! Because you’ll have no choice but to be up close and personal with its 1+ billion population during travels through its tight city corridors and jam-packed markets, make sure you always smell your best!

Chrisitian Dior’s new Escale a Pondicher perfume is the perfect fragrance to sport in this rich cultural region. Its exotic scent from spicy notes like Indian jasmine and deep black tea is inspired by the country’s own fragrant and color-rich markets, which stand as bright and lively as the perfume.

This new women’s cologne from Dior is the second instalment in a series entitled “Les Escales de Dior” (“Dior’s Ports-of-Call”), by perfumer François Demachy. François chose India as inspiration for the country’s raw and exotic library of aromas, unveiled in Escale a Pondicher as notes of cardamom, Mysore sandalwood, Indian jasmine, black tea and Balsamic accords. It is like a refreshing shot of a simple, bittersweet drink given fire from light spices and warm amber, taking you on an exotic sensory journey when you’re painfully far away from any tropical destination. But with this wafting from your skin, who cares?

The world’s second most populous country, and most culturally, linguistically and genetically diverse geographical entity after the continent of Africa, also boasts the world’s highest reaching mountain range and some of the world’s most diverse and impressive flora and fauna. Escale a Pondichery releases an aroma of the same breadth of worldliness and elegance, unveiling the exotic airs of India in the raw perfume materials we have come to associate with the country: fragrant jasmine, sandalwood and black teas.
