In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotDhatarattha Raja opens with soft pomelo, lemon and a green, lightly peppery lift, then settles into floral herbs, warm spice and a resinous woody base.

Reviews →Paithani is a warm spicy leather fragrance with a chai-like softness: cardamom, nutmeg and pepper over milky rose, cedar, labdanum and amberwood. On skin it often reads as warm suede, spiced tea and polished wood, with a dry, aromatic edge rather than heavy sweetness. It suits people who enjoy bold spice, soft leather…
