Where Scent
Meets the Soul

Kankshi is backed by CSIR-IHBT (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research – Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology), Palampur. Our fragrances are crafted using Himalayan botanical extracts and natural aromatic compounds sourced from the foothills of Himachal Pradesh. This scientific grounding means every product meets rigorous quality standards — not just trend-driven marketing.

Our attars (roll-on perfume oils) are 100% alcohol-free — making them ideal for sensitive skin, those who prefer traditional Indian perfumery, and everyday wear without irritation. Our EDP spray perfumes do contain alcohol as a carrier, which helps project the fragrance and is standard in fine perfumery.

Our EDP sprays last 5–10 hours depending on the scent and your skin type. Attars, being pure oil-based, last 8–14 hours as they release slowly with body heat. Solid perfumes offer a lighter, skin-close wear of 4–6 hours — perfect for layering. For best longevity, apply to pulse points on moisturised skin.

Yes. Our formulations prioritise natural botanical ingredients — essential oils, plant-based waxes, and Himalayan floral extracts. Our attars and solid perfumes are alcohol-free and suitable for sensitive skin. All products undergo safety evaluation. If you have specific allergies, check the ingredients listed on each product page.

EDP spray perfumes: 36 months from manufacture. Attars: 36 months. Essential oils: 24 months. Candles and reed diffusers: 12–24 months unopened. Always store away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve fragrance integrity.

An EDP (Eau de Parfum) is an alcohol-based spray perfume with a concentration of 15–20% fragrance oil, designed to project and last 5–10 hours. An Attar is a traditional Indian pure oil perfume, completely alcohol-free, applied by dabbing on pulse points. Attars are more intimate, skin-close, and culturally rooted in Indian perfumery tradition.

No. Our candles are made with a soy-blend wax combined with premium botanical fragrance oils. We use 100% cotton wicks. This makes them cleaner-burning with less soot than paraffin candles, and safer for indoor use during long aromatherapy sessions.

Kankshi products are proudly made in India, with botanical ingredients sourced from Himachal Pradesh and other high-quality regional sources. The brand works in association with CSIR-IHBT, Palampur — one of India's foremost institutes for Himalayan plant science.

Yes, absolutely. Kankshi is committed to cruelty-free practices. None of our products or ingredients are tested on animals at any stage of development. We believe in ethical beauty that respects both nature and all living beings.

Store all fragrances, essential oils, and candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keep attar bottles tightly sealed when not in use. Proper storage ensures maximum longevity and preserves the integrity of the botanical ingredients.
