Ashoka presents a lush, creamy fig note that unfolds with a delicate balance of green, floral, and woody elements. The opening is soft and milky, often likened to coconut milk or tropical fruit, with fig leaf, osmanthus, and lotus contributing a gently sweet, aromatic base. Incense and myrrh lend a meditative, smoky depth without being overpowering, while the sandalwood and vetiver provide a subtle, earthy foundation. Throughout its evolution, the scent remains gourmand and aromatic—never cloying or synthetic—offering a natural, almost organic feel that feels both refreshing and comforting. It is most often described as peaceful, serene, and quietly elegant, with a moderate sillage that stays close to the skin. Longevity is moderate to long, with most wearers recalling the scent fading only after several hours. The fragrance transcends typical categories, blending greenery, woody warmth, and a powdery sweetness in a way that feels harmonious and well-balanced.
