In every drop lies the echo of a love so profound, even the marble itself dissolved in sorrow.
Beneath the silver moon, where a velvet embrace enveloped the gardens of Agra, Shah Jahan first laid eyes on Mumtaz Mahal. She was a queen whose elegance rivalled the dusk-blooming roses, their petals releasing a delicate fragrance that lingered like whispered secrets in the twilight garden. Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal’s love blossomed with passion, much like the quiet intensity of vintage roses that have been drenched in Musk's for years.
But love, when it is true, carries with it both ecstasy and agony. Mumtaz Mahal, beloved of Shah Jahan, endured love and the ache of silent sorrows. Her heart ached with each loss they bore together, each child who did not survive, and each shadow that crossed their palace walls. In the hush of her grief, she mourned an intimacy so bittersweet, like the finest cacao, weaving through their days like a velvet thread of indulgence, laced with longing. Their bond mirrored that of the depth of dark chocolate - a reminder of royal indulgence, sweet, intoxicating, with a tinge of melancholy.
When death tragically claimed Mumtaz Mahal during childbirth, Shah Jahan's world shattered irreparably.Shah Jahan’s heart shattered, and the moon withdrew from the night sky in mourning, casting the heavens into darkness. Even the stars dimmed their glow as if the night itself grieved her passing. His grief became boundless, resonating through the walls of his empire. He wandered the marble corridors, illuminated softly by golden amber lamps, their gentle glow mirroring his own quiet anguish. Amber, warm yet solemn, encapsulated his lasting devotion, a yearning that would echo through eternity.
In the heart of his sorrow, he commissioned the construction of the Taj Mahal, a marble mausoleum as immortal as his love. Each stone laid was drenched in tears, each polished marble block, an eternal tribute to the queen who had illuminated his heart. Agarwood from Assam & Black Kinam, rich and sacred ouds, permeates this fragrance, an ode to the spiritual and profound depth of his endless mourning. It evoked a smoky, soulful tribute, resonating with the silent prayers Shah Jahan whispered into the night. -
Musk's, tender yet profound, linger softly at the base of the fragrance, capturing the essence of lost embraces, memories of intimate whispers shared in stolen moments. Each note is a gentle sigh of longing, a delicate reminder of the touch and warmth that once filled the royal chambers.
"Marble Tears" does not merely capture the grandeur of an empire nor the elegance of a timeless monument. It encapsulates the heartache, beauty, and boundless devotion of one of history’s greatest love stories. Within its depths, intense swirls of rich oud rise like the remnants of a love that burned brightly and endured beyond death. Immerse yourself in an olfactory journey that whispers stories of passion and sorrow, of devotion and remembrance, as delicate and powerful as marble that weeps.
