Khet · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2024

≈ $29 · 50ml · approx. retail

Named for the Kala Pani penal colony in the Andamans where India's rebel freedom fighters were exiled, this is a salt-and-pepper marine scent: peppery sea spray over briny seaweed and green geranium, drying down to amber and pine. Cooling and open-air rather than heavy, it is built as a tribute to resistance and the ocean's pull toward escape, with 6-8 hours of wear.
