Our Story — AKVI Fragrances

Our Heritage

Six Decades of
Pure Craft

“Scent is not something you wear. It is something you become.”

Born from a 60-year-old family legacy in Ladnun, Rajasthan — AKVI brings the ancient art of pure oil perfumery to the modern world. No alcohol. No compromise. Only truth in every drop.

Our Journey

A Legacy in Time

1963

Chand Store Founded

In the ancient city of Ladnun, Rajasthan, Chand Store opened its doors — a humble general shop steeped in centuries of Indian traditions. Fair trade, Pure sourcing, zero compromise.

2000s

The Craft Evolves

Generations later, we started learning craft. Hand-carved wooden bottles replaced glass. Personalized engraving was introduced. The mission remained unchanged: create the purest fragrance possible.

2023

AKVI is Born

The legacy became a brand. AKVI Fragrances launched with a commitment to being carbon negative, fair trade, and 100% alcohol-free — bringing six decades of tradition to the world.

Today

Growing with Purpose

200+ trees planted with the help of Asha ki Bagiya. Thousands of personalized bottles delivered across India. Every purchase continues to fund reforestation, support fair wages, and carry a name carved in wood.

What We Stand For

Our Six Pillars

🍃

Alcohol Free

Every AKVI fragrance is 100% alcohol-free. Pure oil perfumery that is gentle on skin, safe for all ages, and true to the ancient attar tradition.

🪵

Hand-Crafted Wood

Each bottle is individually hand-carved from sustainably sourced wood. No two bottles are identical — like the people who carry them.

🌳

Carbon Negative

We go beyond carbon neutral. Every purchase funds real tree plantation in India, offsetting more carbon than we produce.

✒

Personalized Engraving

Free precision laser engraving on every bottle — names, dates, messages. Because a great scent should carry your identity.

🤝

Fair Trade

Every artisan who crafts our bottles and every ingredient supplier we work with is paid fairly. Luxury cannot come at someone else’s cost.

🇮🇳

Made in India

Proudly rooted in Rajasthan. We celebrate Indian craftsmanship and bring it to the world — not the other way around.

The Founder

From the Founder

Built on Belief,
Not Trend

I grew up watching my Father & grandfather working at Chand Store. He would spend days on a creating the store perfect — not because it was his job, but because he believed a grounded store could carry a story. That belief is the foundation of Chand Store.

We don’t follow trends. We don’t use alcohol to amplify cheap ingredients. We don’t mass-produce. Every bottle leaves our hands with intention — and with your name carved into it.

This is not just a perfume brand. It’s a 60-year promise, renewed with every order.
