I think we can all agree on the fact that smelling good is an essential part of an outfit. Even when not dressed up, a little bit of perfume can make a world of a difference, and being complimented about it releases a good amount of dopamine. On that note, let us introduce you to 3003bc, a home-grown brand launched in 2017 by Sushant and Anil Panda that creates luxury bespoke fragrances. The name was inspired by the oldest known memory of perfumes, dating back to the Mesopotamian Civilization (3000 BC). They’ve worked with John Stephen, who is a renowned Parfumeur Createu with an experience of 50 years in perfumery and has created bespoke fragrances for various celebrities including her Majesty, The Queen of England!
If you too love all things custom, then you must check out their personalisation service. It’s also certainly helpful since shopping for perfumes online can be rather difficult without really knowing how the scent is. You take a simple test of about 10-12 questions and their patent-pending test decodes fragrances just for you. It’s pretty cool, really. You can either opt to go with the scent that is recommended or choose to get 3 different scented samplers (for INR 749) that come in small glass spray bottles and a few perfume test papers so you can make the right choice. You’re bound to like at least one of them (if not, they're happy to send you another set of samplers). You can simply mail them about your preference and get the full-sized bottle of perfume that is made just for you, right at your doorstep.
They also have a range of ready-made perfumes and each product is described with its top notes, heart notes and base notes so you can get a clear idea of what you’re buying. If there’s a wedding in your house then their wedding collection, ‘SAA’ makes for the perfect gift as it's inspired by Indian weddings. Personally tried, their fragrance wears up to 5 hours which is pretty impressive.
Their range starts from INR 1,750 (on discount you can get it for INR 1,400) for 50ml and the personalised bottle costs about INR 7,749.
