In India, fragrances are more than personal accessories; they’re expressions of love, prosperity and celebration. Diwali and wedding season offer opportunities to gift perfumes that leave lasting impressions. By understanding the recipient’s taste and the cultural significance of scents, you can choose a gift that feels both luxurious and meaningful. La’Mont Perfumes’ mission of making luxury fragrances accessible aligns perfectly with festive gifting.
Why perfumes make ideal gifts
-
Symbolism: Perfumes symbolise new beginnings and positive vibes. During Diwali, they convey wishes for prosperity and joy; at weddings, they represent the couple’s new journey.
-
Personal touch: Selecting a scent tailored to someone’s personality shows thoughtfulness. Unlike generic gifts, a perfume can remind the wearer of the giver each time they spray it.
-
Longevity: High‑quality perfumes from La’Mont last 6–8 hours, ensuring the gift is enjoyed beyond the celebration.
Choosing perfumes for Diwali
Diwali is a festival of lights, sweets and family gatherings. Opt for fragrances that embody warmth and festivity:
-
Spicy florals (Women): Notes like saffron, rose and vanilla evoke richness. La’Mont Diya combines rose, cardamom and sandalwood for a sumptuous yet elegant scent.
-
Woody aromatics (Men): Sandalwood, amber and leather offer depth without overpowering. La’Mont Ajna balances citrus and spices over a woody base, perfect for festive evenings.
-
Gourmand treats (Unisex): Inspired by the gourmand trend scents with caramel, almond or sweet spices feel indulgent. La’Mont Mithai blends vanilla and almond with a hint of musk.
Wrap the perfume in vibrant packaging with diyas or add it to a gift hamper alongside sweets and candles. Include a handwritten note describing the fragrance to add a personal touch.
Perfumes for the wedding season
Indian weddings span multiple ceremonies, each with its own mood. Select scents that complement different occasions:

-
Wedding ceremony: Opt for sophisticated scents with longevity. La’Mont Eternal Oudh – a unisex oud fragrance – makes a statement, while La’Mont Velvet Musk (women) pairs white florals with musk for elegance.
-
Reception: Evening events call for bold, sensual perfumes. La’Mont Midnight Spice (men) blends tobacco, leather and spices; La’Mont Royale Amber (women) fuses amber with patchouli and rose.
