Fraganote is a VC-backed Indian fragrance house redefining how modern India experiences perfume.

We are deeply obsessed with blends, stories, and the emotional architecture of fragrance. Here, perfume isn't just a product—it's identity, memory, mood, and cultural commentary.

Conversations in our office range from olfactory construction to consumer psychology to whether a vanilla note should feel smoky, creamy, or quietly powerful.

We move fast. We think long-term. And we're building one of India's most iconic fragrance brands.
