Standard commercial Eau de Parfums typically contain between 12% and 18% aromatic compounds, with the balance being denatured alcohol and water. Darska formulas are compounded at 28% to 32% pure oil concentration (Extrait de Parfum purity).

The higher concentration means less alcohol sting. The extrait stays close to the skin and develops over many hours.

We source our ingredients from across India:

• Wild Upper Assam Oud: Harvested from sustainably managed old-growth Aquilaria agallocha in Assam, distilled through traditional hydro-distillation.
• Vintage Mysore Sandalwood: Government-certified Santalum album heartwood, aged over 40 years for rich balsamic creaminess.
• Indian Vetiver (Khus): Hydro-distilled in traditional copper degs during peak summer monsoons for mineral-rich petrichor depth.
• Kashmiri Mongra Saffron: Hand-picked crimson stigmas from the elevated plateau of Pampore, Kashmir.

Every bottle is individually bottled, inspected, and sealed in Jaipur. Because fine extraits are personal luxury items, we do not offer 14-day change-of-mind returns. Instead, we offer a 100% Free Replacement Guarantee in case of any courier transit damage, leaking bottle, or product/packaging defect.

Report the issue within 48 hours via Track an order or email support@darskaa.com with photos, and we dispatch an immediate complimentary replacement via Delhivery Express.

Because our extraits are rich in natural resins and dense botanicals, less is dramatically more:

1. Apply 1 to 2 sprays directly to warm pulse points: the clavicle hollow, the nape of the neck, and the inner forearm.
2. Never rub your wrists together. Friction crushes the delicate volatile top notes (cold incense, bergamot, saffron) and disrupts the transition into the sandalwood and agarwood heart.
3. Allow the fragrance to warm naturally with your body heat over the first 20 minutes.

Yes. Like vintage single-malt whisky or grand cru wine, natural botanicals contain active aromatic molecules. Our extraits undergo 6 months of dark maceration in copper vats before bottling.

Over months in your care, the agarwood and sandalwood will continue to round and deepen, gaining warmth. Store your bottle in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve its brilliance.
