Ella K Lettre de Pushkar Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

Lettre de Pushkar is a letter from the sacred Rajasthani city, where beds of roses line the holy lake and the air is saturated with spice and prayer. It opens warm and glowing, with saffron, nutmeg and cinnamon spilling out like colour from a market stall.

At its heart a velvety rose unfurls, wrapped in orange blossom and smoky-woody cypriol that lends an almost oud-like depth. The base is enveloping and sensual — vanilla, patchouli and vetiver over soft musk — giving this rose-and-spice composition a rich, oriental-floral trail that lingers for hours.

Who made it

Every Ella K fragrance is composed by Sonia Constant, a senior perfumer trained at ISIPCA and the Givaudan perfumery school who spent more than two decades creating for one of the world’s most prestigious fragrance houses before founding Ella K in 2017. Widely respected in the industry, she has signed acclaimed compositions for major houses while pursuing, through Ella K, a more intimate and personal form of perfumery. Her signature is refined, cinematic storytelling — each scent is built like a travelogue, translating the light, air and materials of a real place into a composition that feels both couture-polished and quietly emotional, favouring beautiful naturals and modern captives over loud, obvious effects.

Who it’s for

For lovers of opulent rose orientals and warm, spicy florals who want craftsmanship rather than sweetness overload. Fully unisex, it wears like a considered statement rather than a crowd-pleaser.

When to wear it

A cool-weather and evening scent above all — autumn and winter nights, dinners and occasions where a rich, spiced sillage is welcome. Its saffron-rose warmth makes it a natural cold-season signature.

About the house

Ella K Parfums is an independent French niche house founded in 2017 by master perfumer Sonia Constant. Its concept is olfactory travel: every fragrance is a postcard from a specific place on Earth — a bay, a garden, a desert, a wind — rendered in fine materials and named to read like an entry from a traveller’s journal. The line spans a Core Collection of far-flung destinations and a more abstract, luxurious “K” Collection, all presented in collectible, artfully labelled bottles. It is offered here at Redolia Perfumery as a full 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
