Mekha Aranya is a fragrance inspired by a legendary creature from northern Thailand: Mhom. A mythical animal with uncertain contours, Mhom combines the features of a cat, a lion, a dog, or a gazelle, sometimes adorned with a dolphin's tail and four powerful legs. Born from a hybrid imagination, influenced by Chinese art and integrated into the sculptures of ancient Lanna temples, Mhom symbolizes strength and vigilance. In tradition, he is the spiritual guardian posted at the entrance to temples, condemned to watch over and listen to the teachings of the Buddha until his redemption. Once the celestial vehicle of the rain deity, Patchunna, Mhom falls to earth, abandoning himself to power, before aspiring to return to the heavens.
From this legend was born Mekha Aranya, literally the Cloud Forest, a floral fragrance evoking Mhom's return to the celestial kingdom. Through the deep richness of osmanthus absolute, a solar and honeyed note with leathery accents, the perfume pays homage to this fusion of Thai and Chinese art. The flight is light, crossed by crystalline aldehydes and soft musk, like a mist floating in the air. Honey brings its golden warmth, while sandalwood anchors the journey in serenity. In filigree, osmanthus reveals a subtle, mysterious, almost sacred leather, recalling the power and nobility of the mythical creature.
Mekha Aranya belongs to the soliflore family, a refined and unique interpretation of osmanthus, charged here with an ancient story and a celestial breath. It is a perfume that tells of elevation, transcendence, and the beauty of returning to oneself, guided by the memory of a myth and the elegance of a perfectly sculpted floral accord.
