The fragrance of love

Representational Image

Almost every child carries the memory of a distinct fragrance associated with their mother - a comforting scent lingering on clothes. This Mother's Day, Vanesha Majithia, founder of Luvih Perfumes, blends memory and fragrance through this immersive workshop.

Majithia (right in white) explains scent profiling

The session introduces participants to the world of scent profiling through three carefully selected fragrances - UR Silk, So Silk, and Antiqua. Guests will learn about fragrance notes, discover why certain scents work well in summer, and understand how perfumes can become lasting emotional markers.

As part of the experience, participants can choose from sage green, light sand, or blush-coloured writing paper, each paired with a surprise fragrance and delicately scented before use. Guests can then write heartfelt letters to their mothers while a calligrapher personalises each piece with elegant handwritten details, creating a thoughtful keepsake.
