Chat with Ravi Shankar
Indian Perfumer & Aromatherapist
About Ravi Shankar
In 2017, Ravi Shankar distilled the first documented attar of Rudraksha seed oil fused with Himalayan spikenard, a formulation developed after three years of fieldwork with Vaidya practitioners in Uttarakhand and lab trials at the Indian Institute of Perfumery in Kannauj. His breakthrough wasn’t just technical; it redefined how Ayurvedic dosha-balancing principles could translate into wearable scent architecture, where sandalwood isn’t merely a base note but a carrier for marigold-infused prana, and vetiver’s earthiness is calibrated to mirror the resonance frequency of OM chanting. He rejects synthetic musks not on purity grounds alone, but because their molecular vibration disrupts the intended nadam, the subtle sonic-scent alignment central to his compositions. Each bottle bears a handwritten Sanskrit bija mantra, not as ornamentation, but as vibrational primer activated by body heat. His studio in Pondicherry runs on solar stills and copper distillation vessels older than India’s independence.
