Scents for the season

Perfume choices during Ramadan balance spirituality, comfort, and tradition

- By Chiranti Sengupta

Ramadan and perfumes share a strong cultural connection, closely tied to social and everyday traditions. From iftar gatherings and suhour moments to family visits, fragrances are a quiet but constant presence through the season.

Scents are chosen with care often moving towards warm ouds, soft florals, and musky notes that feel right for the month. It is also when fragrance houses introduce new ranges and limited editions, created to complement the pace, spirit, and shared moments that mark Ramadan.

Fragrance preferences

Fragrance choices during Ramadan tend to lean towards intense, evening-ready compositions while maintaining freshness for daytime wear.
