Tulsivivah! celebrates the festive scent of India, specifically of the festival of Tulsi, the holy basil. A vision of the beauty of India with the simplicity of Tulsi basil and the zest of calamansi (a small lemon) creating a fresh zing and then revealing a creamy sandalwood and jasmine combination that reveals the sensuality and mystical depth of India. The Tulsi festival signifies the end of monsoon, the beginning of the wedding season in Hinduism. The zesty freshness this fragrance opens with speaks of the energy of the festival with the warm earthy base, revealing the exotic and complex depth of India.

HOW IT WEARS
Tulsivivah! Is an Eau de Parfum that should give you 6 – 8 hours longevity on the skin. This festive vision of India is a simple fragrance of herbaceous green, citrus, spices and the soft woods and sensual creamy jasmine note. Youthful and light, with a deeper dry down of elegant woods to capture it’s earthier bottom end.
LORE LOVES
We adore that Tulsivivah! is essentially a celebration of Mother Nature & her great medicinal gifts. First and foremostly, as it’s namesake suggests, the Tulsi Holy Basil plant. This happy, uplifting fragrance is an ode of gratitude for the health & happiness this herbal tonic gifts to the person who drinks it, infusing the body and aura with it’s healing, green goodness. Feels a bit like a sun shower in a bottle.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Miller met Bertaux in Paris, 1985.
Both frequent travellers and natural-born creatives, Francis Miller and Patrick Bertaux became partners in life and business, setting down their suitcases in Paris’s Marais fashion district. They opened a boutique; showcasing their clothing, creations, and treasures brought back from their travels.
Their wanderlust next led them into the world of fragrance, and they began to create scents inspired by their lives and travels. An armful of flowers placed on the ground at a French market… a rose in the ear of a man from the Far East… the incense of a Mexican church… moments, stories, and images like these were transformed by Miller and Bertaux into fragrances wearable by anyone, anywhere.
Thirty years since they first met, Miller and Bertaux have now devoted themselves to the world of fragrance, describing their creations as “perfumes for body and soul, dedicated to those who choose the balance of being and appearing.”
