After a long, exhausting day, nothing compares to the sanctuary of home. It’s where you can truly unwind, enveloped in comfort and luxury, away from the demands of a hectic schedule. Whether it’s cooking in your kitchen, soaking in a long, relaxing bath, or simply sinking into a plush mattress, everything feels like heaven.
However, what truly elevates a home into a haven, beyond the chic decor, is its fragrance. The atmosphere of a home is deeply tied to its scent, and in this damp, rainy weather we’ve been experiencing, homes can sometimes feel a bit dreary. That’s where Sevā Home steps in, ready to revitalise your space with its Ode to India collection.
This collection features six exquisite Indian fragrances, each designed to transport you to different corners of the country: from the lush tea plantations in the east to the sun-kissed beaches in the west, from the saffron fields in the north to the salty, sandy coastal air of the south, and even the bustling streets filled with the aroma of street food in northern cities. These scents are sure to root you in the rich history and vibrant culture of India. Ahead, we take you through all its offerings.
