Akar

The story

Akar was Saujana's first perfume, composed in a home kitchen in 2017 with vetiver oil brought back from Samarang, Garut. Garut vetiver is damper and smokier than Haitian vetiver; we let it speak loudest.

Black pepper and kaffir lime open the bottle brightly, then Tapanuli benzoin closes it like embers that are still warm. A perfume for people who love very early mornings.

When to wear it Early mornings, overcast days, linen shirts.
