Each day of Navratri honours a different form of the Devi, often with its own colour. A thoughtful way to deepen your daily pooja is to match a natural fragrance to the mood of each day. Here is a simple, devotional guide.
Fragrance ideas for the nine days
- Strength & power days: gugal and kesar — warm and grounding
- Devotion & calm days: chandan (sandalwood) — serene
- Shringar & beauty days: gulab (rose) and parijat — floral
- Prosperity days: royal and luxury blends
Find all of these in the Classic Series and Luxury Series.

Complete the ritual
