Rising Mysore

Rising Mysore by Dixit & Zak is a rich, natural-spiced oriental fougere with a complex and evolving profile. It opens with a vibrant, citrusy, herbal freshness from lemon, neroli, holy basil, and lavender, balanced by the sharp bite of lime and mint-like cooling. The heart reveals a robust, aromatic midsection dominated by garam masala spices—cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, black pepper—woven with florals like jasmine sambac and rosemary, creating a sophisticated barbershop character. Over time, it settles into a warm, creamy woody base of sandalwood, patchouli, olibanum, and myrrh, with a slightly leathery, incense-kissed, spiritual depth. The perfume carries moderate to strong sillage and projection, especially in the first few hours, making it stand out without being overpowering. Many find it endlessly layered, with notes revealing themselves differently on different skin types and over time, making it feel personal and memorable. It's well-suited to day wear or casual evenings outdoors, and its unisex appeal leans masculine.
