Collection: Indult Paris

Indult was founded by Francis Kurkdjian in 2006: four fragrances, 999 bottles each, no samples, no marketing, delivered in rosewood jewellery boxes. Only those who secured a bottle could register to have it refilled. The name itself comes from an old French word for a privilege granted by a king or the Pope. The brand disappeared from the market within a few years, but the fragrances were never forgotten, in 2013, enthusiast Kim Charles acquired the rights and relaunched it with Kurkdjian's blessing and the original formulations intact. The house has grown since, but the founding belief hasn't moved: perfume is a transmitted expression of intimacy, not a product to be marketed.

Begin with Tihota, then explore further

Tihota is a useful first stop in the Indult collection, especially for someone coming to niche perfume through gourmand scents. From there, explore Manakara, Isvaraya and Cuir 404 to discover more of the house's range. Indult's small collection makes it easy to spend time with the individual fragrances. The discovery set is a good way to do that before choosing a bottle, whether you are buying for yourself or getting to know someone else's taste.
