Founded by Marisha Agarwal & Charvi Parikh

Mother-daughter duo Marisha Agarwal, a scientist (Gen Z), and Charvi Parikh, a business strategist (Gen X), combined their different backgrounds to create India’s first purpose perfumery.
Marisha’s interest in scent began while growing up between India and The Netherlands. However, she approached perfume through the lens of a researcher. She studied chemical engineering in The Netherlands. A startup competition in the 1st year of her doctorate inspired her to pursue entrepreneurship in perfumery in India. Marisha is now reimagining perfumery through bold, original ideas rooted in creativity, inclusivity, and intentional storytelling.
With a Doctorate in Business Administration, Charvi spent over ten years running an environmental NGO. Her work involved encouraging waste segregation and community clean-ups. She often says she moved from "stench to scent," but the core goal of positive social impact emains the same. Charvi leads the long-term strategy with a focus on mindfulness.
